Ah I love this discussion! As it turns out Falling Down was actually the story of the antagonist (Michale Duglas). It went through examples of what pissed him off and in the end the good guy (detective Prendergast) killed him. There was a secondary antagonist in the story too, it was the gang that Michael fought against. Brilliant, but it still showed you the antagonist and he was killed.

Network was twisted, so it's hard to make out. The two antagonists in that story though are (1) The networks chairman Arthur Jensen and (2) One of the network's producers Diana Christensen. Unfortunately in this story, the bad guys win and anchor Howard Beale is assassinated.
