Going off my age’ed memory here but I don’t remember Tyler being described quite so fashionable in the book. Yes the movie is an attempt to lampoon toxic masculinity, but compared to other castings nobody else had the I want to be Brad Pitt star power. I think it overpowers that you’re not supposed to agree with Tyler. It’s like how people will subconsciously mimic those they admire.
