Why is Mickey Milkovich one of the most Loved character on Shameless?

[@officialbracelets4books398]

Mickeys first words on the show were. IAN GALLAGHER.

[@tonyjayemauni6908]

And the only one that mattered to him outside of Mandy

[@hopemyers6760]

Yes

[@szumbro1073]

i came across something other day counting all times in one season he said Ian rather than one of many other ways he refers to him. i never would have guessed how often he did? Wish i had specifics but sorry just ineresting.

[@victoriaroper7783]

Oh my god I didn’t even think about that, that just made my day!

[@zoeflemate6879]

AHHHH that's so true

[@eholbrook8719]

i think another reason mickey is so loved is that he’s one of the only characters that really changes, especially in the early seasons. when compared to like fiona or lip who keep doing the same things over and over again to somewhat ruin their lives essentially, mickey is one of the few characters who actually progresses and works to better his life

[@tonyjayemauni6908]

Finally someone who sees things the way i do!! I really loved Fiona and Lip too but they just kept getting worst as the episodes go but till i didn't want to see them anymore. But Mickey i saw potential in from the start and i am glad he got the chance to grow and evolve if it's even in groomzilla 🤣🤣 Carl too he has come a long way caring about people outside of his family, the community and country its say a lot about the boy who couldn't read and was only interested in hustling and blowing up stuff. I'm very happy Liam didn't have any side effects of the drugs and used all the hustling and tricks he was raised around to make himself into a successful manager and a productive young man st age 10. Debbie i cannot stand, from she started with that want sex thing and keep going off on Fiona till she got pregnant and started stealing to provide for the child i was done with her. And my boy Ian he's done some crazy shit and i was scared he my catch something and die but he's been through hell and back and Mickey love helped him find his way was a good thing that distraction Monica died.

[@TheGipsonclan]

I totally agree. It seems like he was the only one who changed for the better. Took him 10 years, and he is still rough around the edges, but he is 180 from what he was in season 1

[@paula-chan561]

I agree but kinda disagree at the same time. I mean, look at Carl. Even Lip has change a little for the better

[@eholbrook8719]

paula-chan i mean more specifically like the early seasons, because if i remember correctly i’m pretty sure they both only started changing positively after mickey was gone

[@elijahwinchester6690]

@@TheGipsonclan i think ian also changed for the better, and after a very long time, so did lip. the thing is, for ian, he fell to his lowest point and after struggling, he developed into a better person. but, in ian's case, that better version of himself was pretty similar to who he was back in season one (because s1 ian was pretty much perfect). i actually like that he goes back to that. because he goes from giving in to his mental illness, to going back to his healthier ways (though that's obviously after getting his medication and learning to live with bipolar disorder). lip also fell to a low point before showing some development, and this time, he developed into someone so much better than who he was for almost eight seasons. carl also goes from a psychopathic child to a typical american, lmao. but, yeah. mickey definitely has the best character development in the show.

fr, how can people hate mickey tho? you can tell he’s uhh a good guy ig?

[@highd12]

I'm a black and white thinker, it's part of my disorder, and I can't tell you how challenging he was as a character for me. However the scene where Ian runs to Mickey when his mother came back, struck a nerve with me. The fact that he dad was yelling down the house, no telling what nightmare Mickey was in the middle of, but Mickey found a way to be there for Ian, in a real way. Mickey was capable of compassion and love, and I think he was waiting his whole life to find a path out of the closet, and having a real life. Mickey's growth at times made me weep. I think him allowing room in his life for love, was probably what saved his life.

[@amaniahmed5481]

@@highd12 thank you for sharing. what is the disorder that causes black and white thinking?

[@phaerion9142]

Mickey and Mandy have the "Ride or Die" personality trait, if your soulmate has this trait you are a lucky person who found a unicorn, if you don't resonate with them you are going to have a lot of conflict, people who see relationships as conveniences, with a foot out of the door will suffer people with the "ride or die" trait, Ian matches Mickey aggressiveness thus can subdue him and reap the benefits of a loyal all-in partner.

[@kingfish-sp9oe]

I hated them at first but he was cool and see him four so I think different now

[@EmmyLouWells74]

This show would not have been anywhere near as good without Mickey. I understand why people went so crazy when we lost Mickey for large gaps at a time. His character development is both a credit to the writers and to Noel Fisher who portrays him so well. Noel can do the thug thing well but is also so gentle at times it can be felt. Award worthy acting, brilliant writing and perfect casting. I know he wasn't ever supposed to be a major part of the show, but thank God Noel and Cameron's chemistry made the writers change their minds and create a much larger role for him. One of the best characters I have EVER seen, big or small screen.

[@hopemyers6760]

Emma Ainslie I agree

[@jasonwhite5107]

Did y'all see Noel Fisher as the vampire in the last Twilight movie? He even did a fantastic job as a VAMPIRE. ❤

[@양송-k2g]

Mickey's character also shows that people are capable of becoming better people even when they were raised in rough circumstances, with abusive parents and having poor role models. I hated him in early seasons but he became one of my favorites in the later ones, after I saw his struggles and how he overtime tried to be better. With different outcomes, I didn't always like his decisions even when I started liking him, but becoming better is a process and a person will still mess up sometimes

[@awadelyse645]

Mickeys caracter is sometimes so misunderstood and pple are confused with his personality change in the late seasons but actually this was his personality from the beginning , he just wasnt allowed to show off his real personality bcz of his abusive father Mickey is appeared as a toigh bad ass boy who doesnt care abt anything but actually he is just a big emotional softie who loves to care for the people he loves I loved how he took care of ian and didnt ran off on him Mickey is a great boyfriend to ian he isnt abusive AT ALL

[@thickieg06]

He actually is physically abusive but only because that's how he was shown love

[@dleftfeel1990]

I remember when Mandy told Mickey to get those Russian hookers out of the house. The first thing Mickey did was call Kevin to make arrangements. I love the look on Mickey's face when he got on the phone. His sister was upset, he loves his sister so he did what she asked. He didn't beat up Kenyatta because Mandy did not give him the green light. It's an interesting family dynamic.

[@brie1026]

@@thickieg06 Yeah I think both Ian & Mickey have a penchant for being violent with one another, for various reasons in varying situations, but I think it's more to do with the Shameless Southside "trash" universe (and the writers wanting to insert comedy in weird violent ways) than with either of them trying to physically control, subdue, or tear down the other.

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

@@brie1026 yeah, I hate how some ppl put Mickey as the only violent one... I mean, u can't fall far away from the tree, that's true... its not like Ian was all goody, in s6 and afterwards... i noticed they were violent towards each other once, when Ian punched him first bc Mickey was annoying him about not drinking, and when Ian asked him to punch him when he asked him about Svetlana & when he asked how he feels about wedding & when Mickey wanted to kill his father but Ian punched him, I mean, it was really shown at the beginning that Ian wanted Mickey so bad and after that they showed how Mickey cared for him and from all relationships on the show , they are the only one who loved each other for 10years and went through everything, in some way, when u think about it, all writers did is actually right, in some way... i mean, the show is named shameless after all and caleb & trevor were too boring for us, even tho they are shown as healthy as they seem, that doesn't mean they are perfect either or great ppl

[@personunknown7129]

@@romdom9406 right? The role is literally perfect for him

[@georgalong]

yea he was an amazing actor throughout the whole show. Unlike characters such as Ian who changed towards the end of the show (primarily season 11 imo - although i still love Ian), Noel Fisher kept the essence that was Mickey and elevated his character as a whole. I really miss Micky T_T

[@jennah6705]

This kiss had more to do with the fact that Noel wouldn't kiss Cam while he was underage. It played perfectly into thier character/relationship developement. If you watched the british version Mickey isn't an important chatacter so I feel Noel's choices and acting is what made the character so great.

[@mettiejune6029]

Holy sh** i just realized. The writers brought Mickey not killing Frank full circle. In the end Rachel explains how she didn’t marry Terry because he killed her father. If Mickey had done the same Ian wouldn’t have wanted to be with him. Mickey’s character is fundamentally different than Terry’s, from the very beginning 🤯

Shiii you rlly dove deep into this hah

[@daniellebecker8086]

That was a great catch in then story! Thabks for sharing!

[@lorelange]

Micky is different from Terry for sure. However, I think Ian is different from Rachel too. In the same scene Ian told Rachel that since her father was out of the way, she could have married Terry, making Rachel her husband and Michy looked at him weird. And when Ian warned Franck about Micky wanted to kill him, Ian's only worry was that he did not want Michy to go to juvi. So despite the years, it seems that Ian would still have be ok with Michy killing Franck. Not sure how it would have played out with the other siblings allowing him to continue the relationship, or even Michy wanting Ian in his life after what he did, but it seems that it would not have been a reason for breakup to Ian.

[@yaztakusi361]

Another huge reason why i think people love Mick is because he's hilarious. He has some of the best lines in the show, and his sarcasm and sass only grew with each season.

I love them so much, Mickey is my favorite character, his foul mouth is what gets me through the day. Also, Groomzilla is so accurate, I was literally like, wow, for someone who had no interest in his first wedding, for him to get so worked up is not only adorable, but says a lot about who he is as a person.

[@tonyjayemauni6908]

The first marriage was forced he never even liked Lana. HE LOVES IAN. But more importantly what i got from is Groomzilla explosion at the florist was that he never cared about nothing that happened in any given day before loving Ian of course and since then as long as he has him on a bed comfortable or on dirty fighting in the streets but now he's getting married to the man he loves and has done everything for so he at least want that "ONE DAY" to be special. Yes i definitely love his foul mouth.

Mickey has the craziest character development. Like it may be the best one I've ever seen on tv. Not to be dramatic or shit but like the way he changes and it's still his character is so amazing. They literally wrote S1 Mickey and let him develop into a better version of Mickey over the seasons without changing him completely, and that is so fucking rare. His character is amazing ngl.

[@mlgZipp]

I think that is why some people don't like s10-11 Mickey. They don't realize that he is still him. He spent years in prison and then with a Mexican cartel. His change was in self acceptance, standing up to his Father and loving and supporting Ian. He's still going to be socially pretty rough around the edges.

[@redAngel5567]

I mean, for me in 4-5th seasons Mikey acted like that(did everything fo Ian,even coming out) because he was scared to lose Ian.( Again). But for Ian that just was different. He thought that Mikey had changed his opinion about relationships and acted different because of his disease.(or at least thought this way after conversation with Monica). That's why he decided broke up with Mik.

[@tonyjayemauni6908]

Right on point Monica was the poison after that i was ready for her to make a permanent departure! Especially because Ian felt a sense of connection to her because they both have the same diagnosis. But she is a fool with and without the disease shouldn't be advising no one. Because Mickey is the best thing to every happen to Ian and vise-versa advice against that you're a dam fool.

[@romdom9406]

I think Ian loves Mickey just as much as Mickey loves Ian. He doesn’t want Mickey to be with someone that has Bipolar disease, constantly waiting around and taking care of him. He wants Mickey to have a full life. Ian has self esteem issues when it comes to his mental health. All he wants is for Mickey to be happy. But then Mickey is only happy with Ian.

Damn this is amazing! Mickey is the kind of guy who everyone admires. He is tough, both mentally and physically.

All because someone gave him the love he didn’t think he could get.

[@lucysolares2655]

i would love to see season 11 mickey added to this analysis. we learn even more about him and his childhood!! so so good. i know people had their issues with s10-11 but i was too busy with relief over the return of gallavich😌😌😌

[@mlgZipp]

Except for the stupid job interview (which I forget) I liked S11 Mickey and thought it not too ooc. Gallavich was 6 months into their marriage. When the work begins. Mickey had barely earned a legal $ in his life and he knew that Ian didn't want him to do anything illegal. He felt comfortable and safe with Ian and a family. But he lacked direction. Jerome gave him a push, just like Mandy in s4. I wish that we could have seen Ian wake him up at some point, to see if he still woke ready for a fight. The Terry stuff was golden healing. Mickey's reaction to moving was understandable but Ian realizing that he needed to consider him was what Mickey needed to be all in.

[@darth6129]

The "problem" with S10-11 for every character is that the tone abruptly changed from a dark comedy/drama feel to just straight up comedy/adult sitcom. Realism is out the window so the characters kinda just stagnate and became exaggerated versions. Like all the S10 stuff was very ridiculous, especially the Paula storyline. And in previous seasons tone the Ian/Mickey marriage drama probably would have been a lot darker. Not saying there isn't some dark moments, but most of it is just undercut by comedy. I still like last 2 seasons a lot especially compared to 7-9 which were just super dull.

[@emma122002]

i think something important to note about mickey is the fact that he never does things for no reason. he always has a motive. no matter if it’s a good motive or not but he never does things out of the blue like some other characters do. every line, every action and every emotion he has is always backed by some sort of thought out motive or plan and when he does something intense and sudden, even that comes with a reason for example, when ian says “he used to punch me and insult me a bunch before we banged” as if mickey used to abuse him.... that’s incredibly not true and really hypocritical on ian’s side in every way..... think about it, mickey has never actually punched or insulted ian with no reason... ian has always been the one to either punch first or to provoke mickey into a fight. the only times we’ve ever seen mickey actually hit ian first is when ian is condescending or trying to get him to talk when he’s clearly emotionally confused and wants to be left alone... i’m pretty sure that ian is the one who actually insults mickey for no reason a lot more than he realized. overall, mickey in the first 5 seasons of the show was one of the only well established, amazingly articulated and well thought out characters that everyone fell in love with, having him removed from the show was the writers biggest mistake. i would even venture to say his characterization levels were on par with frank himself. they gave both men so much personality, focus, objective and it actually shows when you see frank and mickey interact at times. they are such well scripted and developed characters that their conversations just connect well. mickey truly deserves that spot as being so loved and valued and the show wouldn’t be nearly as good without him

[@mlgZipp]

Love this insight. I wish they had kept a Milkovich storyline post S5. I know that Noel left but that was lack of recognition of how important the character was and not paying the actor enough. Ian and Mickey didn't have to be together to keep a storyline (still endgame though of course). Without the Milkoviches, the story lost Southside. Which is what it was supposed to be all about.

I think it was fair kinda because Ian was being made into a "mistress" (in Ian's words), so that Svetlana and Terry would be satisfied. Ian wanted to stop seeing Mickey due to being put in this position all the time, Svetlana and Terry had complete control over their relationship to the point Svetlana could kick Ian out of Mickey's own house or have him not see Ian altogether. Pretty much the only way for Mickey to stop them from doing this is to stand up to Terry, which he did by coming out in front of everyone.

This video is SO good I mean the whole psychological analysis of Mickey 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@bunnygrill]

Mickey refusing to kill Frank is because Mickey isn't a murderer. Mickey tries so hard to live up to the standards he's learned from him father--delinquency, violence, toxic self assertion-- but when it comes to a crime you can't take back, murder, Mickey can't betray his true self anymore. He's not a murderer, and his fear for his own life is what made him consider murder in the first place. Once he realized that he wouldn't kill an innocent person to save his own hide, the only place he thought he was safe was incarceration. Mickey is one of the best natural people on the show, but his nurture almost turned him into an animal. His refusal to kill Frank is the first sign of his rebellion of the monster his father would have made him.

Mickey is a next Oscar award. It's outstanding.

[@JustinThomas-qt9hv]

Probably the most misunderstood character ever. Mickey is an asshole out of necessity and circumstances, but also has a huge heart and unwavering loyalty to those who deserve it.

[@shinyguy1]

I think Carl is the best character and he developed a lot too. When he told Fiona he wanted out of the drug game was an extremely powerful scene.

[@nicholasfarrell8403]

You’re nothing but a warm mouth to me was the harshest line Mickey said the whole series.

[@Allmylovelyc]

I think another reason he’s liked so much is that every shitty thing he’s gone has 1. never been against the main characters and/or 2. in service of one of the main characters, usually Ian but others too. You can’t say that about most of the main characters....

[@Milllollol]

I LOVE MICKEY SO MUCH HE IS THE BEST CHARACTER IN SHAMELESS THE WAY HE TAKES CARE OF IAN IS SO CUTE I CAN'T

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

Thanks for the vid❤, I love how you edit them and are unabashed about the content.

[@fallenwing25]

Never thought I'd see the day where I call mickey my favorite shameless character. Especially when he was a bridezilla! I'm a forver fan now. Plan to rewatch just for him lol

[@awadelyse645]

YES YES YES AND YES , THANK GOD SOMEBODY SAID IT!!

[@futoijosei]

I can honestly say that I've never watched this show and I love him as a character.

[@Jhansirani007]

He is an incredible actor.. He brings life to whatever role he plays..

[@sheaarcher835]

Hes a whole mood for me.

[@linnie59]

mickey was my comfort character from day one even before his character development i have no choice but to love him

[@yankeedoodle218]

Mickey deserves the whole fucking world man ;_;

[@sinceiwas16honey]

I Love Mickey Milkovich ( and Ian ) and i adore gorgeous Noel Fisher ✌️

[@Slappys]

How could anybody possibly say that Mickey was bad for Ian? If anything, it’s the other way around

[@pnky9196]

Neither of them where bad for eachother, ian has done some bad shit to mickey, and mickey has done bas shit to ian. And they both have vailed reasons why they do these things to eachother.

[@mlgZipp]

Loving Ian definitely caused Mickey alot of pain both physically and emotionally. If we never saw Mickey again after S5, I would agree that Ian was bad for Mickey. The Milkoviches sacrifice themselves for their inner circle and this is what Mickey did. Ian forgot Mickey, or appeared to, as soon as he was out of sight. However since we made it to S11 they both saved each other. Ian saved Mickey from becoming Terry. Abusive, spending more of his life in jail than out. Mickey saved Ian from becoming Monica. Going from relationship to relationship. Medications getting out of balance and nobody noticing, until he stops taking them at all (season 8)

[@ranyaby8617]

Mickey and Carl are the show's deepest characters. With each new season, they reveal the sides of their characters from a new side, and cause respect.

[@mikaela1113]

omg i saw this video on ur other channel i assume ahaha anyways keep up the great series

[@GallavichQueen]

Mikaela Broten yeah I thought about the platform I wanted to use and decided that I genuinely loved this channel more. Thank you so much for supporting me!!

[@mikaela1113]

Gallavich Queen awww ❤️

[@sp4ce_174]

I like him cuz he shows your childhood isn’t everything and you can be a better person than your family that the cycle dosent always repeat

[@ironmanrox3145]

My favorite moment of Mickey's character development with Ian was when they go to see Ian in the psych ward and they ask the relationship and he says "boyfriend." I was beaming at that along with Fiona at seeing how far Mickey has come

[@johnrichards3666]

I don't know how Shameless slipped under my radar until now ... 2024. Thanks for helping me catch up.

[@freyabentley7311]

mickey’s character development is chefs kiss

[@Sophie-ru9ir]

Poor Mickey, he was so scared of Frank telling something while Frank couldn't care less

[@DragonslayerPS3]

I think Shameless UK's Micky Maguire is also an incredible character. He starts off as comedic relief, even stupider then Mickey is in the first seasons, but eventually gains confidence and even leaves the estate to build his own life. I love both adaptations of Micky, but I believe Maguire should always get a special mention for my favorite Shameless character of all time.

[@Robin-ih9jv]

mickey: is on screen emotionally repressed gays and emos: there’s just something about that song, that makes you wanna get up and bust a *motherfucking move*

[@robyn7493]

i like the groomzilla part because it shows he really cares and wanted all of the stuff, that he was not able to do on his previous marriage to svetlana when he was not in control.

[@nanny7069]

This video is just AMAZING!

[@thickieg06]

So, I am rewatching all the old episodes from the begining and I am realizing that Frank is a horriable parent, but he LOVES his kids and has connected with all of them at some point. Please do one on Frank ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@minerva1762]

Aaliyah Jean yeeeees

[@mlgZipp]

Interestingly, he has connected at least once with all of his kids but Ian. Ian was Monica's and very like Monica from the very beginning. I don't see Ian as having the same family connection or loyalty as the other siblings and I wonder if that comes in part, from his lack of a relationship with Frank. We learn that Frank wasn't his biological father but the relationship wasn't there even before that. Also, chances are that Frank would have forgotten about that pretty soon after he found out. Ian very much was Monica and Mickey saved him from becoming more Monica. Ian appeared to very easily let go of Mickey twice (who was supposed to be family) as soon as he was out of sight. If we saw Ian and Mickey as parents it wouldn't be Mickey's loyalty to the family unit in question but Ian's.

[@thickieg]

@@mlgZipp ur right

[@Las645]

I hate when people say this 🙄 he didn’t love them at all

[@floristfindspeace]

we love a dynamic character

[@lacym9278]

I love Mickey because he overcame hate. He's so complicated and delicious. I spend far too much time watching their love, they were meant for each other like no other pair I've experienced.

[@LeeMubai33]

This storyline is really the only reason to still watch Shameless.

[@juliette2b766]

that's clear this is the only reason for me anyway

[@Sophie-ru9ir]

It was my only reason actually, but as the show got on, I started caring about the others kids too yk?
