There are a million Fight Club theories. My favourite is that the narrator is Calvin and Tyler is Hobbes.
There's some unreliable narrator aspects to Fight Club (the narrator is mentally ill) so there's some ambiguity with events, particularly the nature of Tyler Durden that are open to audience speculation. For example, was the soap salesman on the plane actually real, and The Narrator latched onto his image to create the Tyler Durden persona?
Better question: Who cares? Does that change the theme or message of the film overall?
