Theory: the moment Mordecai steps out of the car is one of the few times Rocky seriously panics. As they both used to run in Atlas's crew, I suspect he knew very well that Mordecai is an excellent marksman.
@a1l12e5x24 Mordecai? No. Rocky? Yes, plus a circus entertainer, and a lot of other stuff. More illegal type activities once he joined Atlas' gang. Which was just before Atlas died, so Rocky was the newest member to the original Lackadaisy gang. Then came Ivy (Atlas' god-daugther) and Freckle.
@@alexp5461 I mean, he was already a part of the band, meaning that he already hung out at Lackadaisy much like Zib, even if he wasn't part of the criminal activity. Mordecai and Rocky somewhat knew each other but probably didn't talk that often.
6:51 I just noticed that when Rocky opens the casket if you watch Freckle he does the sign of the cross when he realizes that it’s just whiskey and not a body.
Tracy Butler (the creator) is going to start working on new chapters of the comic this year now that the pilot is finished! She also plans to start a kickstarter to fund more episodes! Lackadaisy Patron Squad Go!!!

So on the newspaper article being read: Isadora Duncan was a well known dancer who died when her trademark long scarf got caught in the hubcap of her car while driving. One thing worth mentioning is the other gangs car is seen coming in while Rocky is clearly NOT being a good lookout.
I remember seeing the Rocky poetry sequence back when it was still in storyboard stage. And that was 3 years ago, back when the Lackadaisy crew went on the Hunicast for the first time. It is nuts to see it fully realized. I think this pilot, does a very decent job at introducing all the characters. I have never read the webcomic (might give it a try, heard good things.) but I feel I got to understand exactly what everyone is about, and memorized the names fairly quickly. I hope it gets picked up, or they go the route of Helluva and manage to produce more from the fan support alone. Either way the pilot in itself is a testament to all their talent and hard work, and it is dazzling.
The creator said that they are in the sniffing stages with possible sponsors, otherwise they'll continue to create more episodes independently via kickstarters and merchandise! Plus, she plans to continue the comic again soon 😊 They even have their own comic dubs on their RUclips channel with some of the actual voice actors! I highly recommend it!
@@diamondcrumpton7456 Yeah, I remember them mentioning it on their more recent Hunicast appearance. It very much reminds me of that period of uncertainty between the Hazbin pilot being first posted, and the A24 announcement, almost a year later. So, it might be a while until they can disclose the future of Lackadaisy in the animated form. They gotta make sure to choose what's best and most viable for the show moving forward.
18:28 Ivy Pepper's relation is she's Atlas' goddaughter. The former founder/owner of Lackadaisy before he was shot to death in 1926 (a year before this pilot took place). Also, Ivy and Viktor Vasko (Mordecai's partner during World War 1 in France) share a father daughter type of relationship. To say he got very sentimental in that moment would be a big understatement in his quest to find out what really happened that led to the death of Atlas May.
its never been said how atlas actually died, but i actually suspect it was by his own hand and mordecai helped mitzy cover it up, even though its been implied that mitzy did it
And now we know what work Michael Kovach found after Hazbin recasts. He's now doing Rocky! Love his roles. And this one looks like it's gonna be some good fun, ya? ^_^
@@marmyeater I was just like playing some games on my phone and saw the notification of him reacting to lackadaisy and I'm a big fan from the pilot so this hapened
12:30 There’s nothing so dangerous as when the party’s Bard starts using Bardic Inspiration…on *himself.*

That and when his Aunt Nina is mad and after him! 😂 She throws a serious punch 👊
Wasn’t he just a violinist before atlas died?

@@SomeoneTookMyOldName yes, but as the short comic "Sophistry" shows they occasionally hang out together (much to Mordecai's displeasure)

And if you have the subtitles on (or of you're paying close attention), you can see he says under his breath "Thank the saints"

8:36- It's the Cajuns in Louisiana that speak French. Not France French, or Canadian French, it's its own thing.
Creole, IIRC.
@@MaddTheSane No, the Creole are people of mixed black and European descent. Particularly in the Caribbean.

I *loved* the Isadora Duncan reference! The research Tracy put into this comic, man.
Ooh, missed this one! Oh well - just an excuse to watch it again!

Correction: Mordecai wasn't in WWI. He and Viktor met through Atlas as his right-hand men.

The "construction lines" were left in as a sort of tribute to all the hard work that went into the project.
0:28 That is the cutiest cat I think I've ever seen. 11/10

I like how he said mordecai was like tom but with rizz💀
The accents of the other gang sounds like Louisiana accent. Very French influenced area. That or the Florida bayou accent. Cajun that’s it.
Nicodeme and serafine are a complete mystery to me
Here's hoping any full show that comes of this goes better than Freak Angels, though from what I've heard that wouldn't be a challenge.
The line-art seems to be intentional.
it was, it's to show that it was hand drawn
I highly recomend you read the original comic as well
This was so magical
Nice video! I hope you caught the very end of the video (maybe it was edited out?) that shows Wick Sable seeing his destroyed quarry.
Mordecai and Ivy aren't related, he used to work with Viktor for Atlas, Atlas was Ivy's god father
Thanks for the introduction, Jack!
Cute kitty got a like already!!!!!
YES. Finally
Epic man!
The Webcomic is Really good.
It absolutely is
funny you upload this when Alan Becker just put up a banger
He actually watched it
anyone know where the thumbnail art is from?
IM FIRST AAAAAAAAAAND FIRST LIKER
AND FIRST VIEW
You gave all your firsts to him.
