was met with polarizing critical response and a lackluster audience turnout. Since then, the movie has become a cult classic, praised for its boundary-pushing style and biting social satire. The film stars Edward Norton and Brad Pitt as two men who form a "“ight club” in order to experience cathartic release from their mundane, unfulfilling lives.
This conclusion didn’t fly in China, and the explosions were removed by sensors. In their place, a title card detailing the authorities’ victory and the hospitalization of Norton's character. Uh.... Happily ever after? “This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China!” Palahniuk wrote in his post. The author elaborated on his message via his Substack: “Tyler and the gang were all arrested. He was tried and sentenced to a mental asylum. How amazing. I’d no idea! Justice always wins. Nothing ever exploded. Fini.”

The original ending of isn’t a joyous one — Project Mayhem may complete their mission, but their means of overthrowing materialist, corporate America are still wildly controversial.
