Re: Isn't it supposed to be sort of a condemnation of that mindset?

They needed to hit that point a little harder than the split second they did in the film, though, with the Project Mayhem splice. It's like in Captain America: Civil War where they basically were supposed to be saying "Superheros fighting each other is a bad thing! Look at what it does to the world!" and yet the filmmakers staged the biggest fight in an empty airport and glorified all the violence...and all the damage that happened to civilians happened to nameless, faceless vehicles in the tunnel and you never saw the actual body counts or the faces of all the police officers that Cap and Bucky maimed in the apartment building.

It contradicts its own message, just like with Fight Club: no one remembers the last second and the splice that means there's no happy endings, Project Mayhem still exists. And the book's ending is a hell of lot bleaker, of course. They must have tested that ending and audiences found it too depressing or something. I wonder why.
