i think its just a mordecai thing tbh from what i remember in the comic hes a bit of a “neat freak”. the muddy water was probably his last straw that night 😭
You know a voice actor is good when you don't even recognize them until someone told you who they were. I didn't even realize this character was ProZD until someone pointed it out.
I'm not familiar with the lore of this, but the sharp turn is also reminiscent of a duelist from 80 years prior to when this takes place. Every ounce of his body language indicates he is an experienced killer.
I have to do that because I can't wink my left eye to shoot. Instead of trying to figure it out by closing my right eye, I just choose to shoot with both eyes open. I thought it was common to do that, especially for a pistol.
Mordecai is officially my favorite character of all time! I'm already hooked with this show because of him! I don't care what new character gets introduced along the way in this series.
As much as I LOVE Mordecai, I don't think he's on the same level as Death. He's someone you don't want to mess with sure, but nearly all of Death's scenes in The Last Wish are really horror movie-like. But Mordecai does have a scary reputation from what I've heard, plus, I'm currently reading the webcomic and I haven't reached any scenes of him in a fight yet so maybe my opinion will change.
@@tomasrolter6729 Ivy is the Goddaughter of Atlas, Who was Mordecai’s Old Boss that passed away/ got murdered. He was Very Close to his Boss. Mordecai used to be a member of Lackadaisy but left to Join The Marigold after his Boss died. His heart is still with Lackadaisy and didn't want to kill his Old Boss’ Goddaughter.
Shot at 1:57 plus that ticking noise when he's stalking someone reminds of Death wolf from The Last Wish and his whistle. 2:00 should've kicked Freckle his gun and said "Pick. It. Up."
When I saw the pilot episode, Mordecai immediately reminded me of Percy from Critical Role's Vox Machina. The personality, the voice, the style, everything reminds me of Percy.
Ever since I have a community tab, I've been trying to extract as many meme templates as I can from everything I watch (in fact I challenged myself to only use helluva boss templates for as long as I can) and, the Lackadaisy pilot didn't have many, but they were legendary. Can't wait for the rest of the series to come out
I like him. He acts in a somewhat same manner to how I would've reacted if I was in his profession. Also, this is just a theory, as I hadn't red any of the comics, and don't know much about Mordecai at this point, but the way in which he seems to calculates his enemies' number of remaining bullets, his own shots, and reaction time based on a clock ticking sound feels like something that a person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder might do. I know this, because I happen to have ocd myself, and I have quite a long experience with calculating some of the things that I do in my everyday life to try and increase efficiency.
ooo! oo! He does exhibit traits but the constant clock ticking(as a comic reader) is to express stuff about "the old times", since he used to work for lackadaisy! That's why he didn't shoot Ivy, he saw it was the God daughter of the late Atlas
This is why I would very gladly hold him like a child. I mean, yeah he would slice my throat and probably run off, but at least I held him. I love tuxedo's so much, so whenever I see him in the pilot, comic, and little side drawings (ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH HIM AND HIS SISTER OMG), all I think of is how I want to pet him like a little cat.
No he isn't, you don't need to assign this to every single male character in a suit. Men from this era weren't tumblr sexymen, and this is one of those but literally just a cat in a suit
@@poppi8432 In all fairness, "literally just a cat in a suit" is a recipe for attention on Tumblr in and unto itself. Tumblr in general is also piss poor at acknowledging that not everything is or should be a sexyman.
I gotta say, the amount of hype for Mordecai's pistol shots, only to miss every time is kind of disappointing. Not that one of the main characters should die, but I feel like good storytelling would involve showing how fatal and precise Mordecai's shooting is by having him kill SOMEBODY before they establish the slow-mo clicking effect as a motif of his. That way we associate the effect with "this main character he's targeting may actually die the same way [X character] did". Plus, having Mordecai instantly kill the first person we see him attack would REALLY establish him as an experienced and formidable threat in general.
I think they might show how threatening he is Later on. If You read the Comics, He got some brutal/Gorey kills. I don't want spoil anything if you didn't read the comics yet But He Earned some Nicknames like: Hatchetman, Butcher and Black Death for good reasons.
I get that people were dissapointed but all these shots he missed were quite reasonably missed. The first one, he would probably got a clean headshot if the car hadn't moved suddenly. If you look at the reflection in his glasses, he was aiming for Rocky's head. Secondly, Rocky didn't just randomly turn on the lights. Everyone's eyes had gotten used to the darkness, meaning that sudden light made aiming a lot more difficult. And finally he didn't shoot Ivy due to his internal conflict. And yeah, I can assure, his first introduction is a lot more menacing in the comic. A hatchet. And blood.
It is just a pilot. Pilots exist to give the general characer vibes, their interactions, and what the show is about. Though I don't think giving the Lackadaisy trio a mook for him to kill would have hurt anything. I agree though, if you ignore that it's a pilot it does make him and the Savoys look laughably inept.
I FUCKING LOVE HIM. HIS VOICE...................................................................................................... SUNGWON CHO DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB
The thing about the ticking clock when he's stalking someone or zeroed in with his focus is a fantastic little piece that raises the tension. Subtle but highly effective. And there's another layer to it. This dangerous man, when he's on the prowl, that ticking clock tells the viewer that "someone's time is about to run out". The *other* layer to it is this: Mordecai has done so much dangerous stuff, has seen so much conflict and combat, some truly "main character" levels of it. But he's going to eventually mess up. He's getting older, just like Vincent, and he's made mistakes before as well. One of those times, it will be *his* time that runs out. So when you hear the ticking of the clock, it's not just the prey that he stalks that is in trouble, it's him. Maybe *he* hears it, too?
He is Only 28 currently in the lore but if you read the comics, the Savoys cursed him. They sold/Marked his soul. I don't want to spoil much it but now his life in the hand of that curse.
Him and freckle are my favs bc he is like a skilled professional killer who probs has OCD and has the biggest vocabulary and Freckle goes insane and murders all him enemies then tries to turn himself in
"So let me get this right- the infamous hatchet man, Mordecai Heller, is calling me to ask for a ride..?" "...Yes." "BAHAHAHAHAAAHA!! What am I, your Dad!?"
Well, in the Comics, Mordecai did some messed up things. ( lets just say there's a reason they call him the hatchetman, the Butcher or Atlas’s shadow. )
Love the pilot, can't wait for more, but doesn't Mordecai kind of... job, here? Dude has sub-boss vibes but can't land a shot, kind of ruins his aura of "no fuck around", ya dig? Even with how gung-ho the Creole Cats were, they seemed way more... dangerous overall than Mordecai; like if they weren't so busy having fun they'd get the job done too quick. I'm not familiar with any comic or anything, so hopefully in the future they give Mordecai a chance to just go ruthless on someone, but right now he's sort of goofy.
@@noob1812 He just has OCD and is socially awkward. He is a Hitman just doing his job and doing what he is told, his most Brutal kills were from Self-defense and a Prank that went really bad. ( He is still a cold-blooded killer, that doesn't mess around. if you're on his hit list, you're pretty much screwed) The Twins in the Comics, actually are scarier than Mordecai, I mean not only their Assasins, but they LOVE killing and they practice Voodoo, they have Creepy Tention/ possible sexual tension with Mordecai. Especially what they did to him in the later Chapters.
To be fair, every character in the pilot has plot armor. However, Mordecai is the only character who successfully injured one of the main protaganists.
People really think aiming is easy, huh? That first one would probably have been a clean headshot if the car hadn't moved suddenly. And besides, Mordecai is less of a sniper and more of a methodical and ruthless hitman. Being a hawkeye isn't his thing, but being effectively deadly is. Besides, as said, he has a connection to the Lackadaisy gang.

Subscribe to ProZD for his amazing role as Mordecai Heller
Holy shit I didn’t even realise that was his voice-?
THAT WAS PROZD?????
omg is your profile milly
That was ProZD ???!! Wtf he sounds so different
I love that even with human intelligence, the cats are still afraid of water
i think its just a mordecai thing tbh from what i remember in the comic hes a bit of a “neat freak”. the muddy water was probably his last straw that night 😭
Well it makes sense, imagine getting your expensive suit wet
yes
I’d hate getting my clothes wet regardless of species. One of things that I despise in this world is walking around with wet socks on.
intelligence has nothing to do with it, it's the way cats evolved and how wet fur disorients them and weighs them down
You know a voice actor is good when you don't even recognize them until someone told you who they were.
I didn't even realize this character was ProZD until someone pointed it out.
The best part is that proZD used to do fandubs of the lackadaisy comics
ME TOOO
He was Ratatoskr in God of War Ragnarök.
Whaaaat that’s him??
How in the world do you not hear it? It’s incredibly obvious.

Instinctively shoots with both eyes open, that's common for experienced shooters to do.
That vertigo effect though.

Mordecai is drip
His aura/presence is cold asf as well.
@@BloxyCola-gg5 he's edgy Sasuke/Fumikage Tokoyami guy version done cat. i love it.
@@AdorianDelmore He also has similar vibes from Z Goku (non canon movies) or Z Gogeta in terms of what Mordecai says.
Mordecai is life (ironically ik)
@@gatitomono47f77 you mean love and life
Mordecai being a tuxedo cat is really fitting with his manners and all about him. What a character! Or maybe "catracter" lol
Oh my- I didn’t even realize that until now 🤣
Tracy made him one entirely on purpose. "I've never seen a Tuxedo cat that didn't take itself entirely too seriously" to paraphrase :D
Cat tractor.
I love the clock ticking that plays when he's focusing, and how it gets interrupted when he loses his focus
Yep
ProZD is just what I expect Mordecai to sound like.❤
I honestly half-expected him to talk about his ass-kicking outfit halfway through, bitch!
@ethanloming001 "ProZD as Mordecai sounds, like Ozpin to me."
@@4Re_i can kinda see that.
Mordecai is officially my favorite character of all time! I'm already hooked with this show because of him! I don't care what new character gets introduced along the way in this series.
My favorite in all of Lackadaisy. 2nd: Rocky. 3rd: Victor.
@@ZeldaSam1 same but 4th Mitzi, 5th sable 6th zib

For me it's mordecai, wick and nico I adore them
1.zib
2.mordi
3. Viktor
Change my mind. Freckle Ivy and Rocky next ofc
He's the cat version of death wolf. Threatening presence, motif whenever he's about to strike to make it scarier, the one everyone simps for I mean um
I mean you're not wrong
As much as I LOVE Mordecai, I don't think he's on the same level as Death. He's someone you don't want to mess with sure, but nearly all of Death's scenes in The Last Wish are really horror movie-like.

ProZD's Fursona has simps? Does he know?
(Is that why there's so much saucy "fan art" of the cat?)
dang, SungWon started out with Lackadaisy fandubs and ended up getting the voice acting role for Mordecai? i'm proud of him :D
0:04 I just notice, Mordacai looked shocked to See Ivy Smuggling Alcohol with the boys. Another subtle hint that he didn't want to kill her.
So, based on the suggestions, he is her father, or at least close related?
@@tomasrolter6729 Ivy is the Goddaughter of Atlas, Who was Mordecai’s Old Boss that passed away/ got murdered. He was Very Close to his Boss. Mordecai used to be a member of Lackadaisy but left to Join The Marigold after his Boss died. His heart is still with Lackadaisy and didn't want to kill his Old Boss’ Goddaughter.
@@litepaw7 Thanks for the information.
@@litepaw7 Another reason, the Inguene minisode. He met little Ivy when she was still 11.
Him choosing not to shoot when he sees ivy make me raise me eyebrows
:::Spoilers:::
Ivy is the god-daughter of the late Atlas May (Mitzi's dead husband and founder of Lackadaisy) who Mordecai used to work for.
read the comics, they have their own website, it k i n d a explains it, and don't worry it's not gross
@myaltaccount4438 wait I know this is an old reply but did people think it was some sort of gross thing??
The newest short that came out seems to explain why.
Looks to me like he couldn’t get a good enough shot
Having mordecai’s calling card be a ticking clock is so cool, such a simple but effective way to put everyone on guard
Mordecai is very good at his job, along side noticing even small details that normal people wouldn’t notice.
Shot at 1:57 plus that ticking noise when he's stalking someone reminds of Death wolf from The Last Wish and his whistle. 2:00 should've kicked Freckle his gun and said "Pick. It. Up."
I told my friend it reminded me of Death! I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought that 🤩🤩
@@jessiebear6730 He also looks like he could be a descendent of Kitty and Puss?
@@Thunderfox32 Omg he really does

Don't you mean Soongewin? (jk)
I love the lil detail where he hisses at the water. Cats hate water...well not all but i still appreciate the detail
Mordicai supremacy
Edit: I now believe in Sedgewick Supremecy
True
When I saw the pilot episode, Mordecai immediately reminded me of Percy from Critical Role's Vox Machina. The personality, the voice, the style, everything reminds me of Percy.
Mordecai as a character predates Percy, even if Critical Role beat Lackadaisy to the punch in getting an animated adaptation.
True, though Mordecai is an even more socially inept character
Ever since I have a community tab, I've been trying to extract as many meme templates as I can from everything I watch (in fact I challenged myself to only use helluva boss templates for as long as I can) and, the Lackadaisy pilot didn't have many, but they were legendary. Can't wait for the rest of the series to come out
I would sell my soul for this man.
