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.

I think /u/moss is overselling the guilt part, at least in the comics (I haven't seen the show, but people say it's pretty faithful). Sure it's significant, but more time is dedicated in his initial turn to "good" in the comics on the fact that his human wife rocks his world nightly. I'm not kidding even a little bit.

It gets very... uhhh. "Breedy" about humans/viltrumites (The fascist kryptonians). Like I genuinely think the author might have had a kink.
