Educate me. Is there more to the show or are people just doing a "Man Tyler Durden is so cool" type of missing the point.

It's decent, I haven't read the comics so I don't know how it ends up, and it is basically just a well-done superhero narrative about how humans are so special

I’m reading through the comic now. The show is actually slightly better, it reworks the pacing of some plots so they flow better and adds whole subplots that give later story beats more context and impact.

I tried reading the comic but the art was so fucking ugly. Also as you say the pacing has been reworked so it's not that easy to go from season 1 of the show to the comic

Yeah the comic started out during the dark ages of digital colouring, when there was soft gradients on fucking everything. It’s been interesting to see that evolve to a more contemporary look over the course of the series.
