After the gang fights Serafine and the Marigolds, they leave the quarry. Mordecai has a good shot on Ivy but doesn't take it. Why? #lackadaisy #animation #pilot #mordecai
Basically he's still loyal to his old boss, and is trying to figure out who killed him and why because somthing about it didn't add up. And he also has two or three sisters, one about Ivy's age so that might be his subconscious telling him NO.
The most logical answer is the reason he didn’t shoot ivy is because ivy is atlas aka mordecai previous late boss goddaughter and well it either he doesn’t shot or kill girl or just have respect still for him aka late atlas he’s previous boss
Comic-reader here: Atlas took Mordecai in and basically raised him. He gave Mordecai a home, a father figure, and a start in the business due to his... unique talents. Atlas was basically his dad. Ivy Pepper is Atlas' Goddaughter. She is basically family to him. Because of his love for Atlas, he will absolutely flinch at killing either Mitzi or Ivy... and they are the _only_ people Mordecai would hesitate at killing. Except maybe Viktor, potentially, since he considers Victor a close friend. If Atlas was still alive, they wouldn't have even been on opposite sides.
He told Victor to quit the underworld business when he joined Marigold, because he didn't want to have to go toe to toe with Victor. And when victor refused to step down Mordecai just shot Victor in the knee cap like god damn
Goddaughter not niece but yeah the point stands. Also didn't Mordecai and Viktor get into an argument and Mordecai broke Viktors knees and that's why Viktor is a bartender now because he's not able to do field work? So not so close friends anymore, but before that yes. I still doubt Mordecai would be able to bring himself to kill Viktor.
@phoney2627 If I remember right, it wasn't an argument that resulted in the violence, but the reason for the argument. Mordecai kneecapped Victor with a pistol _so that he would never have to go up against his best friend professionally._ In a twisted way he was trying to _protect_ Victor... Victor was refusing to retire from the underworld business, and he was leaving for a rival gang, meaning they would, sooner or later, end up facing off. And Mordecai didn't want to ever have to kill Victor. So in typical Mordecai fashion he solved the problem the simplest, easiest, surest, and most logical way. Victor wouldn't willingly retire, so Mordecai made him physically unable to do it and forced him to. If you want proof Mordecai has a heart under his cold, remorseless exterior, remember that he would rather have his best friend hate his guts than have his best friend's lifeblood on his hands.
Mordecai is a very interesting and complicated character. He's a sociopath who began his career at an early age and atlas was almost like a father/mentor to him. While atlas wasn't the kindest boss, especially to Mordecai, he showed Mordecai a new path when he was lost. He respects him even in death. Piper reminded him of the old days and she acts almost like a monument to what lackadaisy was and to destroy that meant to harm Atlas' work
So based on the new Lackadaisy short that came out, Mordecai knew Ivy since she was a child; I think when Ivy looked back Mordecai recognized her and just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Um actually Ivy going to college isn’t a false pretense, it’s just wildly played up. She purposely makes it so that she has to stay in St. Louis (specifically over the summer), but she is actually going to college.
Needless to say. Viktor hates it and actively trys to get rid of any reason she comes up with to stay there. Including scaring off, and even beating off her boyfriends.
For those who haven’t read the comic I’d highly recommend it. The pilot was good, don’t get me wrong, but the comics have so much charm and in my opinion do the characters and their personalities more justice (especially Rocky and Freckle)
No wonder. I wasn't familiar with the characters because I never read the comic before seeing the pilot episode. Makes sense that he wouldn't want to kill his old friend's goddaughter, it kind of makes his character a lot deeper.
not to mention that Viktor is very protective of Ivy so Mordecai knew that if something were to happen to her because of him, Viktor would find a way to kill him.
@@katylepetsos7512 He also likely considers viktor a (close) friend, so even if he wasn't afraid of being hurt by Viktor, he might be afraid of having to hurt/kill viktor.
He respects Victor and Atlas too much to do it. Whereas he has no qualms with shooting rocky before they got to the quarry, and actually shoots Freckle in the head. She is the only one he refuses to harm.
Cold as Mordecai is, the comics showed he at least cared about his mother and sisters. So he might have qualms about killing young women. Especially ones he's seen grow up, like Ivy.
I was also quite confused with the scene at first, but now I understand a little bit about Lackadaisy's insanely deep lore (pun intended) and all the good stuff.
It is because Ivy is Atlas's God-daughter. Mordecai use to work for LAckadaisy and knew Ivy when she was very young so he could not bring himself to kill her.
I'd read the comics prior to the pilot, but even if I didn't, I would've suspected that Mordecai either recognized Ivy (and had some sort of connection with her from back in the day), he had a conscience about not shooting girls, or she reminded him of someone he knew from way back then (thus getting "sentimental about old times"). Either way, it leaves it open-ended for when the series finally comes out.
He also only had 2 bullets left(2 shot at Rocky and 2 shot at Freckle). So even if he was willing to shoot Ivy he wouldn't because he would only have 1 bullet for either Rocky and Freckle afterwards.
It makes me wonder if Mordecai was one of the cats Viktor was thinking of when he told Ivy (in the comic) that she “shouldn’t be here at all.” I mean, Mordecai was basically his partner yet still was willing to shoot him on his way out the door.
This might just be me being a bad reader, (which I am lol) but in the comics, Mortacai and Mitzi have a conversation in a car about how he gave her a gun, foreshadowing that Mitzi was the one who killed her husband (Atlas). So, I’m not completely sure about this fact but I was wondering if anyone else notice this to…
He didn't give her a gun. The conversation is basically Mordecai threatening to KILL her and bring Lackadaisy down if She doesn't stop competing with The Marigold and stop double-dealing.
I think Mordecai gave her a gun for a different reason because the newest comic revealed that he doesn't know how Atlas died and now suspects that Asa Sweet may have been involved somehow.
Mordecai have 3 sisters Esther, rose and Hannah but Hannah died when she was still an infant and Ivy reminded him of his 2 sisters (sorry if my english is bad)
one thing i thought of is that ivy is about the same age as mordecai when he was recruited by atlas so i thought he would have seen a bit of himself in her.
I myself am a Lackadaisy fan and grew a lot of interest in the Lord and characters. Notes aside, before I saw this video I was confused why Mordecai didn't shoot Ivy when he had the chance. I believe he must of known her before, such as having a friendship with her in his past life.
You should do a video on the comic series. Because it's so good and well-written and has so much depth also the background in terms of the characters. How there are more layers to them than what was shown in the Pilot.
Only just discovered this yesterday. Such a beautifully done piece of work. I thought the hesitation was something else. I'll be bouncing around looking for clues. Thanks for the insight.
Another big influence would be that Ivy is Viktor's daughter, but this is a guess, Mordecai might not have known, just like Ivy until recently in the comics, and they did say the animated and webcomics are two different shows, not interconnected
@@DI-QueenmoEMino In the episode Antidote, Elsa tells Ivy that she is Viktors Bio daughter. We don't know much about the mother, but we can assume Viktor hasn't told her so she isn't crushed if he dies.
@@deltakamikaze5524 No it doesn't, she's talking about the daughter Viktor had with his wife whose picture he had earlier in the comic, it was talked about at length before. Ivy's reaction is because she had no idea Viktor had a daughter.
Please do recap I'm so confused On the comic and the lore In this video, you managed to clear up some things for me also I really appreciate it a recap would really help me and other people that have been confused like me :D
I plan to buy the first volume of the Lackadaisy comic book I've been following the series before the pilot released, but I can't wait to see if we get a series in the future
This was very helpful, especially since I love the extended lore but don’t have time to read the whole comic. If you make more videos detailing the comic that would be amazing! Subscribing in the meantime… :)
Who else is a fan of ivy becaus ashes a great driver and fixer, although she accidentally broke the car she still fixed it, and shes a good dance, so who else is a fan because I am
Hello everyone. So, its been a while and I wanted to give everyone an update on what Ive been up to aswell as any more videos on this channel First though I just want to say I appreciate the love and enthusiasm everyone has showed in the past couple months and Ive been reading every single comment and appreciate everyone who subscribed. With that being said though, I have to admit this youtube channel has not been my priority recently. Between college and other passion projects I have put off work on this channel constantly Thats not to say there wont be any more videos here but for an ETA I woild just say they will eventually come out. The timeline video ended up being a bigger project than expected and in the past 6 months I have only worked on it for about 4 and never too seriously. Mostly rereading the comic and whatching videos about the franchise in general. Another thing to note is in the mean time Ive worked on and at points almost finished videos about other francises like HelluvaBoss but those were more reviews that narrative recaps so I didnt want to post them to this channel. Maybe when the Lackadaisy series comes out or when the Helluva Boss series comes out I will pick up the pace again and post another video. Maybe TWO videos????? No promises though :P But yeah thats about everything I wanted to talk about and Im thankfull for everyone who watched the video and showed so much interest in this content
He was raised in the New York ghetto with his two sisters, when times got rough he would get into petty crime like stealing from stores and robbing folks for food but one day He accidentally killed somebody during one of his robberies and had to flee from New York and had to leave his family behind.
I am pretty sure he killed atlas so this kind of falls apart, i think this due to the fact that in hamstring Mitzi and Mordecia about what happened to atlas and then a picture of Mitiz handing Mordecia a gun
Yes it has. I have to say I still read every comment and appreciate everyone who subscribes but right now this isnt the content I want to do. I will post a pinned comment on this video with more info

I know she is actually going to college but she even mentions failing classes on purpose to stay over the summer like you said 😅😅😅😅

Where do you read the comic?

Lackadaisy is basically Fast and Furious with cats in the 20s if you've only seen the pilot.
Perhaps Mordecai spared Ivy because he is still loyal to his old boss who died, and Ivy was his goddaughter.
This is very helpful for new fans of Lackadaisy👍🏽
Thank you. As I said, Im thinking about making a full video on the whole comic story
Cold as Mordecai is, the comics showed he at least cared about his mother and sisters. So he might have qualms about killing young women. Especially ones he's seen grow up, like Ivy.
I was also quite confused with the scene at first, but now I understand a little bit about Lackadaisy's insanely deep lore (pun intended) and all the good stuff.
The new short vid showed that they knew each other when ivy was a kid
Pretty much figured the same, as well as he probably still feels somewhat endowed to Atlas even after death
I always assumed it was because Ivy looked like his sisters, but this makes sense too
It is because Ivy is Atlas's God-daughter. Mordecai use to work for LAckadaisy and knew Ivy when she was very young so he could not bring himself to kill her.
I'd read the comics prior to the pilot, but even if I didn't, I would've suspected that Mordecai either recognized Ivy (and had some sort of connection with her from back in the day), he had a conscience about not shooting girls, or she reminded him of someone he knew from way back then (thus getting "sentimental about old times"). Either way, it leaves it open-ended for when the series finally comes out.
Literally just watched Lackadaisy today and I already love it, rewatched it 3 times.
He also only had 2 bullets left(2 shot at Rocky and 2 shot at Freckle). So even if he was willing to shoot Ivy he wouldn't because he would only have 1 bullet for either Rocky and Freckle afterwards.
Nope, he’s packing a Colt Goverment .45 automatic pistol. It has 7 bullets in its magasine.
I love the guy with green eyes and how the character look and more the story is awesome too:D
I love Lackadaisy and I really loved the characters especially Ivy and Mordecai.
Now you know why.
Mordecai: Please dodge please dodge please dodge please dodge.
Rocky dodged.
Mordecai: I hate the wind.
It makes me wonder if Mordecai was one of the cats Viktor was thinking of when he told Ivy (in the comic) that she “shouldn’t be here at all.” I mean, Mordecai was basically his partner yet still was willing to shoot him on his way out the door.

I noticed that, but after reading to the current stopping point I have to wonder if he gave her the gun for an entirely different reason.
I think Mordecai gave her a gun for a different reason because the newest comic revealed that he doesn't know how Atlas died and now suspects that Asa Sweet may have been involved somehow.
I thought it was because of his sister, Rose (from the comics) like look at them next to each other they look so similar. Same age too!
Mordecai have 3 sisters Esther, rose and Hannah but Hannah died when she was still an infant and Ivy reminded him of his 2 sisters (sorry if my english is bad)
