The following contains spoilers for Mickey 17, now playing in theatersMickey 17‘s main antagonist, Kenneth Marshall, is very reminiscent of United States President Donald Trump, which helps highlight one why the character works as Bong Joon Ho’s best villain so far. Mickey 17 is largely focused on the titular Mickey, an unfortunate worker bee in an intended space colony who is frequently killed and then cloned anew in the name of progress. Mickey’s various deaths and the conflict that arises when there are two versions of him at once are just Mickey 17‘s surface-level story, as the thematic strength of the film is in its satirical riff on society.
