Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It's like "Tyler Durden is so manly and cool" except every bit of media feels like it's misinterpreted like that now.

Overthinking the dropped apple, I would be falling toward the sky along with the apple in my hand. If I released my grip on the apple, I'm not sure if the apple would "fall" toward the sky faster or slower than I. But it might nonetheless at least appear to go upward (toward the earth) from my POV if it falling toward the sky more slowly than I
