the best thing you can do to a character make them averse to touch and absolutely starved for it

Mickey 17: My job sucks since I was trying to avoid loan sharks on earth and now I'm being constantly experimented on, but thankfully I have a loving and supportive girlfriend.

Mickey 18:

I fucking love this gif so much..... his mannerisms........

[diamantdog]

okay, i know i was the one who posted about rob pattinson talking about nasha being a freak and me agreeing with him lol. but i do think nasha is drawn to mickey because she, too, is an expendable. the women in the colony (besides ylsa) are viewed as walking uteruses. adding to this is the marshalls’ racism. nasha is intelligent and talented in every way, but she’s not the one getting the invite to the dinner because she doesn’t have the “right” skin color. i think she recognizes herself in mickey the moment she lays her eyes on him.

also, she’s a freak lmao.

NAOMI ACKIE as NASHA BARRIDGE Mickey 17

[they-might-be-bionts]

The scene where Nasha risks her safety to sit with Mickey in the gas chamber just because she wants to be with him in a bad moment and can’t stand seeing him suffer alone… it got me man. Maybe love is real

[jetlaggingbehind]

so in the last scene when 18 told the mother creeper to watch as he murder-suicided marshall for the 'one death' do we feel like he thought he was the death and that marshall was so cruel as to be considered inhuman, or that marshall was the death and he, despite his veneer of being tough and irreverent, mickeys only advocate and stronger than wimpy little 17, still never thought of himself as a full and complete person, even at the end of his life when death was staring him in the face?

Oh Mickey…..

[unfuckablebogtroll]

Nasha Barridge is the absolute winner of Mickey 17. Gets herself an absolute idiot of an adoring boytoy who worships the ground she walks on, calls the buffoon-in-chief a fucking moron to his face, winds up president of the space colony.

this photo has me spiraling. one hand on each the greed they talk about in bible. she’s so fucking real tho

Wanna know what I love most about Mickey 17? It's completely unsubtle in its presentation and in a time where media literacy is in the gutter and literal fascism is coming back in, we need more of that. We need obvious class commentary, we need obvious pastiches of authoritarian demogogues, we need people outright saying to said pastiche that they're an idiot, we need said pastiche to get blown up and his entire movement collapse because subtlety no longer works. We need obvious, blatant revolutionary works in order for people to recall what all the subtle stuff was saying.

Mickey 17 really said that someone will love all versions of you, even the version that you can’t seem to accept.

Something I really liked about Mickey 17 was how human everyone was. Like, people stuttered and didn't always finish their thoughts, assholes live to be assholes another day, there were conflicting political opinions throughout the colonists, there were arguments on the loading docks about parking and people sharing food. It felt like those were real people, and it paid off at the end when there were multiple people working to get mister-wannabe-dictator to stop. Like! Yeah reasonable people Would try to bring these people to trial and work to communicate with aliens and vote to get rid of a body printer because these are People! It was just a nice touch, and also made sense for how Mickey is very much Not a hero, he's just a guy trying to live his life. Everyone's just trying to live their life, so everyone contributes to solving the problems.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else mention how significant it was that Nasha, a Black women was the person who physically put herself on the line to save the baby creeper from the incinerator. I immediately caught that Micky 17 and Nasha were significantly less hostile to the creepers than almost everyone else (Dorothy). Kenneth Marshall has been panned as an empty, goofy trump stand in, I think this is too dismissive of his character. His politics are christofascist, eugenist and white suprematist. Mickey 17 and Kai mirror Ylfa and Kenneth at the dinner, it’s essentially a double date. When we saw that Mickey had ‘won’ the dinner I thought he’d get to bring Nasha. Then Kenneth tells Kai about her suitably for carrying a white baby “naturally” and everything clicked for me. Kai saw Micky as a novelty and even fights with Nasha over access to the Mickey’s and suggests she’s being greedy by not sharing and disrespects their relationship. She doesn’t even acknowledge the autonomy of Mickey 17 and 18, she’ll take whichever. Early on in the film the ships passengers are warned not to waste energy and calories on having sex. Nasha and Mickey defy this order, regularly but does it matter if they do? Why doesn’t anyone try to stop them? Why are they allowed to live together? Nasha’s Black and Mickey is expendable, he dies and gets reprinted. They are both held in low esteem despite their respective skill and importance. I think the film says a lot politically and most of the interesting stuff has barely been touched upon.

One of the details that will never fail to make me cry about Mickey 17 is how it emphasizes the importance of anger. How it dives into the idea where the working class sacrifices so much of its humanity for companies that will never give a damn. For them, it's just a money grab, but for us, it's our livelihood.

Sometimes, you need someone to be angry for you, someone to give you a wake-up call, someone to show you that you are more important than your service to capitalism.

And the fact that Mickey (18) reminded himself (17) of that each time just makes me sob. I read somewhere long ago that anger sometimes can be our consciousness reminding us that we've been treated unfairly/unjustly.

and it is okay to embrace it. to not let us consume us, but to let it drive us towards change.

be like mickey.
