i will never get tired of the “disposable soldier being put through the horrors because because they’ve been left no other choice” trope as an analogy for not only how america has failed immigrants-but more importantly how, under capitalism, goverments have failed poor people in general and how the wealth gap has grown incomprehensibly wide and how capitalism dehumanizes- in this essay i will

The creatures in Mickey 17 reminded me of the bug creatures in Nausicaa!

In the book, the differences between Mickey7 and Mickey8 are implied to come from the 6 weeks prior to the start of the story when Mickey7 wasn't uploading. When Mickey8 was introduced, I kept thinking "Are we going to know what happened during those 6 weeks?" I read it more that these daily experiences add up and cause tweaks to a person over time. I'm sure if you met yourself from 6 weeks ago, it would be jarring.

The movie, I think, attributes the differences between Mickey17 and Mickey18 to innate differences between individuals. The book also mentions some of this, but it was much more pronounced in the movie. Technically Mickey is the same person every time he is printed out, but someone's personality isn't so easy to perfectly replicate. Mickey17 and Mickey18 have such obvious differences because they are each individuals and no matter how much control you have over the process, there are still going to be variations.
