Reply to comment by atomicitalian in Why do Hollywood movies that criticize Hollywood itself or capitalism usually end up portraying it as awesome? by MentalDespairing

The joy about stories is that audiences can disagree with the author’s original intent and find something different.

It can get annoying when the worst aspects are appraised. I remember reading the author of Fight Club hates it when people tell him Tyler is the character they appeal to the most.

I mean I don't disagree with that, but I think people can also just completely whiff "getting" a story/character.

Oh hands down accurate. The incel community is a prime example of that, lol.
