Comment on Anyone else found Mickey 17 embarrassingly bad? (Just watched it)

  The thing that really got me thinking on it was that he never even mentioned that Mark Ruffalo is a very literal allegory for Trump. I find the most common way of criticizing anti-Trump art is to avoid acknowledging its relation to him, even if any other criticism you can give is fairly superficial. The Boys and Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show come to mind as recent examples.

  The movie was first and foremost a criticism of Trumpism and late-stage capitalism, the sci-fi setting was merely incidental. If you leave all that stuff out, yeah, of course it was a bland sci-fi movie, it was also about 10 minutes long!

    I haven’t seen it not heard about Ruffalo’s character. Thank you for explaining!
