What if Tyler Durden was real but tricked the Narrator into thinking that he is schizophrenic?


And convinced him that he doesn't exist so that he can blame the Narrator for all the crimes he did and Marla was also in on it?

It would make Tyler a psychopath

It might make it more interesting.

Sorry, but this is a really stupid idea.

As Tyler says, 'I didn't create some loser to make me feel better about myself.'

What would be Tyler's - who is 'perfect' from the narrator's perspective - motivation for creating someone as dysfunctional, depressed and materialistically addicted and obsessed as the narrator? Hmm?

Also, if THAT were the case, we'd see most of the movie from Brad Pitt's character's perspective, and Narrator's appearance wouldn't enter the movie until the airplane scene.

ANY way you think about this, it just wouldn't work, and the idea was born dead and stupid to begin with.
