True. Technically it should have been Tyler or the Narrator vs. Somene else, and I would have preferred that they did it differently.
That said:
- It's only stupid in retrospect, so it's not all bad. (weak defense though)
- Realism is not a big part of that movie anyway.
- It's possible to enjoy movies which have some stupid scenes.
- If you need to fix the movie in your head, we could argue that it's not what happened. The Narrators delusions occasionally/originally projected Tyler on varying people around him. Maybe there even originally was some kind of a Tyler-figure in the Narrators life, who's fate we don't know. (Probably either the Narrator killed him in jealousy or really went nuts after he was abandoned by Tyler and refused to accept this reality, but rather created his own).
