So, on the accents: the brother and sister duo are from New Orleans, Miss M is indeed from Savannah, Viktor is from Czeckoslovakia and not Russia, Mordecai is from NYC but tries to hide the accent, Wick is from Boston's upper class, Zib is from Wisconsin, Rocky and Freckle are second-generation Irish immigrants from the St. Louis region, and Miss Pepper is from KC.
Slight correction; he was just from Slovakia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). Czechia and Slovakia didn’t unite until after WW1, though in all fairness we don’t know when he moved to the US. But he is specifically called a “Slovak” in the webcomic.
@@sirboomsalot4902 yes he's called a Slovak because that's his ethnicity, no matter who controls his homeland, but at the time the pilot and comic both take place his native land is under the control of the First Czeckoslovak Republic.
Interesting with Rocky & Freckle, they’re Irish but they grew up with American accents in St. Louis just as it’s interesting Viktor is ethnically Slovak but Slovaks at this time are considered Czech
@@docavar5698 Well they said they are 2nd generation so I assume they were born and grew up in america so they would most likely have one of the american accents. People whos parents are immigrants and grew up in the US dont usually have their parents accents, if at all tbh because of the environment they grew up in. They’ll mostly be surrounded by english speakers with the common accent wherever they live like from school,their friends and stuff.
The thing about why dynamite didn't blew up in a radial fashion (thus catching someone in the blast) is exactly because Rocky had it stashed inside excavator's claw which made explosion become FOCUSED in 2 points - going upwards through water tower and down through bottom of the claw - all explosive power instead of a sphere took on a form of a spire. You can see it by water tower being blown up right through and claw also missing its bottom part but with sides intact. He basically made something very close to a makeshift claymore mine.
Funny thing to know, Prohibition was a time when bartenders were so desperate to keep the patrons pleased with their beverages they would mix the base of what they got with ANYTHING that might make the flavor better. Thus the Fruit Cocktails were born. A lot of the Booze was either imported from canada or Mexico or potential Moonshiners made by mountain folk away form the prying eyes of the law. So taste among all suffered the most. So canned fruit became more popular among bartenders to do anything to improve the taste of American made illegal booze X3
Anyone who follows NASCAR also knows the sport's roots are deep in the Prohibition era, too. The moonshine runners driving their goods into town at night and racing along back roads to either beat the competition to the drop offs or out run the cops was the ground work for American car races.
@@kleioslibrary5451 Yeah - I learned about this after seeing a furious NASCAR fan on social media; “you bootlickers have forgotten your roots! Why do you think we started hot ridding stock cars? Because we were running from the cops. You know why we were running from the cops? Because fuck em”.
Freckle's mother (and Rocky's aunt) Nina McMurray is "more Irish-Catholic than you can shake a stick at" (with the canon addendum that she'd take the stick away from you, beat you with it, then make you ashamed for tiring her out like that). Freckle had previously aspired to become a police officer and got top marks... until his first time on the firing range - something about holding a firearm brings his 'wild side' to the fore. Discovering this, Rocky roped Freckle into becoming a torpedo for Lackadaisy (telling his aunt that the lad was actually an errand boy for the Little Daisy Cafe - misleading, though not quite a lie). Rocky has spent most of his life as a vagabond, quickly wearing out his welcome most everywhere he goes. His cousin, Freckle, is the only real familial connection he has and his aunt Nina only tolerates his presence for her son's sake. Rocky has found something of a home at Lackadaisy and is literally "insanely loyal" to Mitzi (always "Miss M" in his mind) for her charity towards him. He's also suspicious of Sedgewick "Wick" Sable's intentions concerning Miss M and rarely passes up an opportunity to try and remove him from the picture. (Yes, that was Wick's quarry he demolished - see Wick's reaction to discovering the state of his quarry at the very end of the pilot.) Atlas May (founder of Lackadaisy and Mitzi's deceased husband) had adopted Ivy as his goddaughter - when he died, Viktor assumed the mantle of Ivy's godfather. Viktor was Mordecai's mentor and partner back when the two were torpedoes for Lackadaisy. After Atlas died, Mordecai expected Lackadaisy to follow so took employment with the Marigold speakeasy; his attempt to persuade Viktor to join him didn't go as planned. Mordecai's literal 'parting shot' destroyed Viktor's left knee - that, plus assorted injuries accumulated in the line of duty, rendered him unable to continue as an enforcer (which is why he's now tending bar, much to his annoyance). But the pair still know each other extremely well; Viktor would readily recognize Mordecai's handiwork had he taken that shot at Ivy, and Mordecai knows well that anyone harming Ivy would be at the receiving end of the sulking Slovak's unbridled anger. (Much too high a price to pay for stopping this particular load of coffin varnish.)
The audio for sound effects in the pilot are very rich and full. It's pretty awesome. The plinking of the violin as he slides down the hill after falling off the bridge, the creaking and groaning of the wood as they pry open the casket, etc. And like you pointed out, the wildlife in the background. Quality stuff! Actually, ALL of the audio seems balanced really well.
From comic to this emphasizes how terrible Rocky is. Man is a total prick. He caused thousands of dollars in damages to wix property just to spite him because they both like the same woman. Dick move.
@@charlesdaugherty321 I haven’t finished the comic yet, but doesn’t he also suffer a head injury at some point that causes him to really go off the rails?
@@charlesdaugherty321 I don’t think Rocky likes Mitzi in the way as Wick does. He sees Wick as a threat because he’s finally found a place that will tolerate him and keep him around, so Wick’s kindness, wealth, etc. is a threat cuz he’s got none of that. It’s more like he’s a sadist who enjoys making Wick as uncomfortable/miserable as possible.
Yeah the lines (as I understand) showing were a style choice ment to be remincent of old old Disney films like aristacats where those lines also pop up from time to time ( but I bet the fact that it saved them some time and money as a smaller independent studio is probably a nice bonus haha )
(I have friends on the production) Its 100% a style choice and a way to remind the audience directly that this was hand animated! It isn't a time saver. Drawings are done on separate layers from their clean linework so it's a matter of going back and deliberately deciding where they wanted to reveal parts of the structural sketches. :)
@@alexbennett8166 Yep, correct. If they wanted to get rid of the lines it would have been an easy matter. I would even argue it's the opposite of a time saver cause you have to go through and artistically decide when the lines show and when they don't. It's also a great way for showing a bit of depth on the characters, not that it's needed, but is a nice touch.
@@SilvyReacts Additionally, it harks back to Tracy's art style, which tends to leave in some foundation lines. Pencil marks beneath the quality shading are throughout the comic pages.
St Louis in this time period was heavily Irish, German, and French. We do have something of an accent, with pronunciations like "Farty" and "warsh" for "Forty" and "wash," and other people have said we sound a little southern.
I saw this pilot approximately 24hrs before your reaction and I love it. It really makes me nostalgic for the kids movie Cats Don't Dance, but I like how this is definitely for adults based on tone, themes, and language. I need more so can understand why Rocky and crew can get so unhinged and what relationship Pepper has to Mordecai I think they called him. Because there was however subtle a very clear hesitation when he saw her driving.
I used to live spitting distance from a Limeatone Quarry. I never got close enough to watch but you could hear and feel them working. You could always hear a boom and feel the after shock.
A single stick probably not. But a whole cradle of dynamite? Yeah I’m sure it would be as powerful as I think. I’m no expert, but I imagine that giant crater was formed from a bundle of dynamite?
@@whatitdodave fairly certain the crater is cause it's a stone quarry. it's a mine. as for the explosive power of an entire box of dynamite, minus a handfull of sticks....there's the cartoon angle, and tone of the show, and the fact it was contained between the bucket it was in and the bottom of the water tower...generally confining an explosion, AFAIK, does make it "more powerful" however there's also the matter of material strength to consider, overall IRL?? the bucket may or may not also have busted. so, in the end, my answer amounts to, little more than a big ol *shrug*
@@whatitdodave Dynamite works best if it's wedged between two static surfaces (like a crane arm and a water tower). Otherwise, if dynamite is blown up in midair, the explosion will create a concussive shockwave, but it won't disintegrate surrounding materials. It would have to be placed under the ground for it to do much damage to the soil.
I've been reading the comic since 2008 and I STILL have no idea what he's trying to say, lol. Something about the history of the Mississippi river, I'm guessing.
As for the dynamite. The logical answer is the bucket of the digger saved them. Most buckets back then where made from solid steel and where anywhere between 2 to 3 inches thick. If it wasn't it would have been so much worse.
The sketch layers being visible is 100% a stylistic choice: it would literally just be a matter of turning a layer invisible to remove them, and with the amount of compositing work on this show there's no way they just didn't have time to do it. I'm almost positive it's being done as an homage to the art style of the original comic, which is fairly sketchy, with lots of visible pencil marks on the lineart. I think it's a fantastic way to make the animation look a little more textured and hand-done, which is a big part of the appeal of the comic's artwork.
So get this, turns out Freckle once tried to apply for the police academy but was rejected due to a certain "Incident" and my guess is that it had something to do with a Tommy Gun and his psychotic episode the moment he pulled the trigger.
YES! You GET it! The sound design on this is SO. Gorgeous. I’ve been getting back into audio dramas (truly an over-looked medium when it comes to horror, but I digress) and it’s really made me appreciate good sound mixing/design. To the point that after watching the new Candyman movie with headphones I went straight back to the start just because I liked the sound. All this to say; the sound on Lackadaisy is SO immersive and adds so much weight and texture to an already very emotive and expressive art style. The original music is incredible, too, and really captures the tone of the comic. Like Rocky said; “ambience”.
Yes!! Thank you!! I keep seeing people hate on the lines, but I actually really like the lines as well! It feels like it belongs with the time period it’s set in, just feels right lol
Really? I’ve seen nothing but love and adoration for the sketchy lines! Though tbf, most of the people I’ve watched react to it have a background in animation.
The explosion did occur in the claw bowl shaped thing. So you are probably right. Explosions tend to go toward the least resistance, and since the bottom was entirely covered, the bulk of the power of the explosion went straight up instead at the water tower.
Viktor is my fav in the comics! Heh! My boy be Austro-Hungarian (Before it got split thx to WWI 🥲), but as long as we're thinkin bout it, he does got the sound of a Slav so everyone thinks he's Russian 😅
Never did I think I’d see something on par with Helluva Boss but this is so amazing. I gotta start looking into the comics Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe some of the same people working on this also work on Helluva Boss and/or Hazbin Hotel. That’s probably why it’s so good
The director of the pilot Fable Siegel was an animator on Hazbin. Ashley Nichols is an animator/artist who worked on Hazbin and in a bigger role on Lackadaisy. There are probably other animators who crossed over for this from the Hazbin/Helluva crew.
18:50 actually, no. Since it all was all in the bucket, we've got what is called a directed explosion. Basically, the pressure wave propagates in the direction of the least resistance. This would propel the bucket down, just like it works in the rockets, but the energy will go up.
I love about this that every last thing that makes the setting real is meticulously researched. All those guns? Those are real guns, accurate in period. The cars? Those are real cars, that were actually manufactured, also accurate in period. That quarry equipment? All absolutely real machinery, that was really manufactured, for a quarry in the 1920s. A St. Louis speakeasy in a cave? Yep, yep, St. Louis (and Kansas City) had a lot of caves under it from salt mining and a whole lot of people built speakeasies in them. Even the Obit Mitzi was reading. That's a real obit, for the dancer Isadora Duncan, published in 1929 in the St. Louis paper. Even all the buildings, the light fixtures, the clothes and the accessories. The grave digging at the start? That's real. That's where the term "Dead drop" comes from. Funeral homes had the perfect smuggling setup because the law prevented the police from opening coffins. Getting out the "where to dig up the booze" messages, in code, through the obits was a nice way to sell it without the risk of actually being there. All the period accents. Even the slang, like "Raspberries" for a mild pseudo-swear and "Murderation" for stress and "Skedaddle" for getting out of here and "Eleven kinds of stupid" from a Cajun character. Even the "Atlantic" water container that Ivy uses on the car was actually made, actually sold in St. Louis in period, and actually looked like that. They were made flat to fit under the seats of cars, because cars at the time frequently leaked water from the radiators and people needed to have water with them to recover from frequent overheating. Just, absolutely EVERYTHING is meticulously researched! The only thing that's not period is that this entire world got hit with a "catification" beam at some point, but that's really awesome for the art style.
I would argue that the catification has to do with early use of "cats" as a slang term by Louis Armstrong, and the jazz era, as well as being symbols of unluckiness and devilry. While this came somewhat after the era/year this is set in, it probably had some early roots back then.
@@whatitdodave not saying more just you. What you do. We wait for youuuu. Lol sus. But fr. You are something I daily look for. What you can do is what you can do but I'm saying is you don't need anyone else, they come along cool but we love you man

Miss Pepper's first name is Ivy, for those of us who didn't put the subtitles on
25:00 he's either Serbian or Croatian, but he's an Eastern European/Slavic immigrant, yes.
I love the use of electric-swing in this pilot, a perfect fusion of old-time swing and jazz with modern music.
The music honestly impressed me because it sounds very good. Who knew modernizing older swing and jazz music could work so well. XD Need more of it.
