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.

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.

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.

I've only known about this show for a couple weeks and have already grown attached to it. I personally love Rocky, Freckle, Ivy, and Mordecai.

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

He got sentimental about old times.

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.

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.

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)

Lackadaisy is basically Fast and Furious with cats in the 20s if you've only seen the pilot.

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.

Perhaps Mordecai spared Ivy because he is still loyal to his old boss who died, and Ivy was his goddaughter.

The new short vid showed that they knew each other when ivy was a kid

This is very helpful for new fans of Lackadaisy👍🏽

Pretty much figured the same, as well as he probably still feels somewhat endowed to Atlas even after death

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.

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 always assumed it was because Ivy looked like his sisters, but this makes sense too

Literally just watched Lackadaisy today and I already love it, rewatched it 3 times.

I love the guy with green eyes and how the character look and more the story is awesome too:D

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.

I love Lackadaisy and I really loved the characters especially Ivy and Mordecai.

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.

Now you know why.

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.

Mordecai: Please dodge please dodge please dodge please dodge. Rocky dodged. Mordecai: I hate the wind.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Her mom is rose pepper, who grew up with mordecai. I think he might see rose in her, but that’s a little thing that I realized after a while

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.

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.

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)

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…

Oh so that's why he didn't shoot because ivy is the goddaughter of someone, very interesting, and yes can you do a recap of this series

First say this great show about a year ago, yes more information from the earlier day would be wonderful.

“Professionals have standards”

I've heard of this show for a long time. But today, I finally decided to watch the pilot. And it is amazing!

Wow I thought you had loads more subscribers! Great video

While the information is great, I would highly recommend that fir your next video you make sure you can actually be heard over the music.

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

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

Perhaps he knew Viktor would force feed him dat 1911.

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

Remember when he was asked about getting sentimental about old times?

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… :)

For a first video on this new channel, this is good stuff! I am subscribed now, and I wish you luck on your journey for this channel! o7

It would be cool if they add some dogs in too.

I would love a recap.

Victor would probably kill mordecai with his bare hands if he killed ivy

I want you to do a total recap of all lackadaisy events

Id like to know Mordecais backstory predating his work for Atlas.

Ive seen in the comics like they met each other like they were a kids.

I would like to hear a whole recap, please.

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

I'm a new fan

Because she reminds him of his little sister Rose

👌♣️

He probs does have abit of hesatation with rocky and freakle if he knew them This might explain the glansing shot on freackle and the mirror shot

I'm your 101 subscriber

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

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

I thought she removed him of mitzy but this makes a lot more sence

Now we know i guess

You know I was just wondering the same thing it this video about mordecai and ivy

Rocky is my favorite character in lackadaisy and freckle,ivy,Mordecai,wick and zib and Victor and miss m
