Everything you say is true, but I think you're looking too close at what's intentionally a bigger picture story. The movie is operating as a hamfisted allegory. Nada is a cypher. In general, the characters are less characters than they are representations of types of people.

So yes, Nada is not an especially good or smart person. He doesn't have to be though because the movie isn't serving us up a story about characters so much as using them like props to reveal a broader social commentary.

I understand the larger picture with the story, just found the protagonist distracting to the rest of the film. And, mostly just wanted to talk about that aspect of the movie more so than a full review. Thanks for being cool, though! Someone could’ve come in and ripped me a new one because I know people love this movie.

Sorry you're getting downvotes for your opinion friendo, it's a perfectly acceptable one, even if I don't agree.
