Mickey 17 ending, explained
Robert Pattinson as Mickeys 17 and 18 in "Mickey 17."

After several years of waiting, director Bong Joon-ho's latest sci-fi comedy film, Mickey 17, has finally premiered in theaters. Adapted from Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7, Bong's movie follows Mickey, a man down on his luck who signs up to be an "expendable" laborer on the ice planet Niflheim for a fresh start. However, he starts fresh again and again as his job forces him to die and be reborn in a cloned body, eventually fighting for his life as a war with Niflheim's native creatures breaks out.

It's a very different story from Bong's more grounded black comedy Parasite. Nevertheless, Bong delivers another dark satire with Mickey 17's story, which holds several surprises and many implications about humanity and its future. At the same time, it gives audiences an idea of where Bong and his new sci-fi film franchise could go from here.

Yellowjackets (2021-)
Yellowjackets (2021) Official Trailer #2 | SHOWTIME

Although Yellowjackets is not a Netflix native, the show has gained an entirely new audience by streaming there.
