Not to be an asshole, but how is it shocking/surprising/noteworthy that a cartoon character is the splitting image of their father? It makes sense in real life because of genetics, but a drawing?

I like how you can see Ivy piecing things together with each piece of evidence. She sees Mordecai's gun and broken arm, the plate bolted to the door, victor's eyepatch and sudden mood shift, the discarded door riddled with bullet holes, and the fact that Victor is putting a new door on the car. She pokes around so easily and absorbs information like a sponge.

I like how at around 3:53 Atlas looks down at Ivy, then Mordecai notices his gaze and cleans himself. It kinda shows how much he cares about his boss

I haven't reread the comics in a while, but I love how I got every reference to them. I beleive I remember Mordecai's accident with his arm-- he kinda did fall down the stairs, but the main reason his arm got busted was because while falling, he was getting shot at. This also explains Mordecai's hesitation to shoot Ivy in the pilot, since he met her as a kid and clearly still cares about her and the Lackadaisy crew just a bit. Seems Serafine was right about them needing to worry about him getting sentimental about old times.

If you follow Mordecai's comic arc so far, it's pretty clear that he's tracking down whoever killed Atlas. Which implies that his care for Atlas is more than just "a little bit" (I don't Ship them, but there are lots of forms of caring other than romantic). And with Ivy as Atlas's goddaughter, I doubt comics!Mordecai would kill her... though it remains to be seen how much overlap there is in motivation and loyalties. I believe there's also a post where Tracy says that Mordecai and Mitzi spat like siblings, which is an interesting way to read their dynamic. I wrote a double drabble that was my best attempt to reconcile all the details we know about them and Atlas with the way that Mordecai and Mitzi have been acting and the negative way they act toward each other now; I think it turned out pretty good for being just 200 words.

I have some issues picking up on subtext so I always love seeing tiny details like that pointed out for me.

Atlas being capable of easily intimidating his own friend with a blank stare, and then cracking a small grin to let said friend know he can go for that big warm hug, is more characterization in 10 seconds than some shows can manage with hours of runtime.

Mordecai realized quickly that Ivy was incredibly capable of asking questions in a very grounded in reality way that was intelligent for a child. A simple lie didn’t entertain her because she saw how illogical it was along side other evidence, such as Mordecai carrying a firearm for some who is just supposed to be running numbers for a small cafe. He figured out quickly that he kept giving her the opportunity to extract more information she could figure out the truth even if he tried to lie... like what happened with Victor. Victor tried to lie and shit down conversation but that lead Ivy to looking at her surroundings more inquisitively: paying attention to what Victor was fixing and the evidence left behind. It’s more than likely if Victor ignored her she probably would of lost interest and left before making the conclusion of them being gangsters.

"Well, "A" is for Amygdala, Mr. Sweet." - Mordecai Heller

How about it is a raw badass line?

3:59 I loved the animation of Ivy's movement at this part

It's awesome to see this look back into the lives of Lackadaisy characters we already know about with this mini episode. I love how well Ivy's relationship with Mordecai and Viktor is played with her showing how smart she is for being a kid knowing that Mordecai and Viktor were lying with the stuff they had gotten into. It's a very great look back into before the events of the pilot as I'm excited to see if we'll get a mini episode with Rocky and Freckle seeing how they started to get mixed in with what was going on.

This definitely explains why Mordecai didn’t shoot her in the pilot when he was chasing her, rocky, and freckle CUZ THEY KNEW EACH OTHER WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER…

Oh my gosh! Worth the wait!!! Such detail! I mean might seem superfluous, but the reflection on the picture frame is perfect! I appriciate attention to detail like that. I love how Atlas is so imposing and he hasn't even spoken a word yet. Mordecai's irritated cat growl and cat like expressions was awesome. Love how it shows the reasoning behind why Mordecai wouldn't take the shot in the pilot. There's clear hints that he is an expert marksman and clearly could've taken out Ivy, but something was holding him back. Now we get some of that back story. I just love everything about this!!! Sorry it took awhile to actually comment on this. I finally achieved my goal of publishing a Young Adult Thriller. There's a lot that goes into publication and illustration so I can only imagine animation this caliber. If I only had the time I think it'd be fun to animate a trailer for my book. Maybe in some off time I could. What kind of program do you guys use?? I can't wait till the next one!!

The way viktor is still protective of her as an adult

Little Ivy is way too cute, man. Everyone trying to keep her innocence was also sweet

“I could teach you!” “How to Ice cream scoop?” Amazing.

This illustrates Ivy's character extremely well. Not just her interest in mechanical engineering, but the fact that she was born a quick-witted, street smart criminal with an unassuming face, and that she knows. Most children her age would not respond with "What do you need the gun for if you're just adding numbers?" after noticing that the bookkeeper has a gun. Or the fact that she sees right through Viktor's lies, which he obviously made up to not have to tell a little child about war. She even asks him "Did you lose your eye in the war?" It also took her nothing more than the suspicious atmosphere, the gun-carrying bookkeeper and the realization that Viktor was installing armor on the car door because the previous one got shot up, to deduce precisely what she needed to know, which is that they're gangsters or robbers. And then, she immediately turns that into an opportunity and seizes it by blackmailing Viktor with this knowledge. She really is a born criminal, and easily the most catlike personality in the cast.

literally just watched the pilot episode for the first time, and honestly I've fallen in love with this series. There are so many good series on youtube and so many underrated ones, I honestly wish I had the money to fund them all. I love the music, theme, and just overall everything about Lackadaisy. Its so immersive and I find myself drawn into the characters wanting to know more about who they are and how they all got into their current situations. I eagerly look forward to more.
