I agree with your points regarding the anti-hero. Too add to that I feel that American "auteurs" favor coldness over heartfelt emotions. Is this the partial legacy of Kubrick? So no, the tramp certainly is not coming back anytime soon.
Kubrick's coldness? Maybe you're right. But for that matter, I wouldn't mind films with creepy major characters if they were at least done right. For example, Scorsese's early films were very good but went downhill as he grew older (the Woody Allen syndrome.) "Raging Bull", for example, is quite powerful while "The Wolf of Wall Street", another film with a shitty main character, is crap.
