Mickey 17's 'Creepers' Are So Much More Than Sci-Fi Monsters
This post contains some spoilers for "Mickey 17."
In Bong Joon Ho's new sci-fi film "Mickey 17," Robert Pattinson played the titular Mickey, a low-paid grunt on a distant spaceship. As the previews have made explicit, Mickey is an "Expendable," that is: when he dies, he can easily be cloned — or "printed" — and replaced within a day. Needless to say, Mickey is selected for the ship's most dangerous missions. By the time audiences catch up with him, he's on his 17th printing.
Mickey lives on a ship of conservative cultists who worship a Trump-like televangelist named Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo). Marshall is so hated on Earth that he left on a long-distance spacecraft to find an interplanetary haven he plans on calling Niflheim. Throughout "Mickey 17," he and his horrid wife Ylfa (Toni Collette) talk about how they're seeking a genetically pure stock, making it abundantly clear that they're Evangelical eugenicists.
