Comment on 'Mickey 17' to hit streaming services after a disappointing month in theaters

If you’re going to oversimplify a story that much, remember there are only a dozen of so different stories, and they were all written thousands of years ago.

In this case, Mickey 17 would more accurately be Moses in Space, just like Snowpiecer is Moses on a Train. And since neither are original, neither are that great.

It’s the same director. It’s not the stretch you argue lol

  That’s irrelevant to my actual argument.

    Not everything new is based on something from a few thousand years ago. Sure you can argue anything

    “Based on” wouldn’t be the right term. That would require some knowing intention to make a new version of an old story. I’m saying even if you try to make a new story, it’ll either suck, or be very much like another story written thousands of years ago.
