thinking sooo hard about Mickey being like “i pushed a button and it ruined my FUCKING LIFE”

and then at the end, 18 pushed a button to end his life and 17 pushed a button to destroy the printer and start living again

Everyone seems to be focusing on the aspect of Nasha loving every version of Mickey, and not on the fact that each version of him - no matter how they differed - shared the same undying love for her.

Robert Pattinson truly achieves poor little meow meow levels never before seen in Mickey 17

mickey 17 is for the people who hate capitalism and also clicked YES on the ‘would u fuck ur clone’ poll

Not everyone gets lucky enough to find a soulmate like this. None of this would have happened if I'd never boarded this spaceship, so all hail the great loan shark, Darius Blank. Thanks, Darius.

The comedic timing of this is destroying me. He might as well be suspiciously cheese shaped

the fact that sex played such a huge role in Mickey 17 isn't just a fun hot little addition to a good movie about antifascism - it's intrinsic.

They want your sexuality repressed unless you're procreating the "right kind" of babies.

Nasha wants Mickey to be able to grow old with her so that she can suck him off for the rest of her god damned life. Nasha wants to know the name of every sexual position so intimately that her sopping wet boyfriend and her can use the names as a secret code in public. Nasha wants to have sex to feel ALIVE and full of joy. Nasha is going to break federal law to have a threesome with her boyfriend and his clone and she's gonna be high as a fucking kite when she does it. Sexual expression IS resisting fascism because the joy of fucking connects us and gives us something to fight for. Nasha is a hero and her sexuality is intrinsic to it.

nasha was THE highlight of Mickey 17 she actually felt like a character and not just the demure, loving girlfriend, she was messy and jealous and obsessive and it was such a fun watch, like she was literally this

need to string together my thoughts more on this but reeeeeally interesting to see the influx of media - severance, the substance, mickey 17 - centered on the idea of a double/expendable iteration of yourself.

the dehumanization of workers by the way of non-livable wages, unsafe working conditions, and identity based discrimination (and the current removal of dei initiatives), all drive a wedge between our personhood and the value we are prescribed as a member of the workforce. something something the effects of ai and deepfakes already putting people in danger, the way we live and present our lives online vs in reality, there’s a lot to unpack here. but it’s fascinating to see this trope so widely translated as a storytelling vehicle for these ideas, and that this is the story that people are interested in telling.

nasha barridge is the character of all time. she's a firefighter and a security guard and a martial artist. she loves her pathetic ass boyfriend more than anyone. dating two clones at once isn't a dealbreaker for her. she can snap a fascist's neck with her legs while holding onto a rope with her teeth. she breaks down giggling over doodles of stick figures having sex. she starts a riot in the cafeteria to defend her boyfriend from bullies. she's stayed with her boyfriend while he dies more than once. she's compassionate and wise and supportive and also jealous and hotheaded and messy. and she's in space!

“He just wants to have a nice life and be a regular dude. He doesn't really have any higher aspirations particularly. He was fine with being tortured every day if he could just go home to Nasha.” - Robert Pattinson

bong joon ho really said "here's a story about how capitalism is designed to exploit the weak however it can. we must break the machine. those at the top cannot be reasoned with and have to be stopped by force. i know you feel expendable. they don't care about you and will beat you into submission at a moment's notice. you're not expendable. our only way out is through compassion. im killing donald trump with a bomb. im showing you that someone will always love you. oh and here's robert pattinson having sex with himself as a treat."
