I think the point is that the only guy who we could possibly want to like is so totally unlikeable. I don't think "flagship character" means we should like him, and I don't know that he's everyone's favorite. We're not there just yet, but it becomes evident later that he's the only one we could possibly side with, and he's fucking mental. So what does that make us? Thick? Insane? Simplistic? Someone is definitely accusing us of being wrong in our thinking.
