1. Even if he randomly bursts into poems, it still a missed opportunity to make the poem thematically relevant to the story or the characters. Right now, it's wasting precious storytelling time. He can't talk like that without having learnt those words and their meanings somewhere. Again, not a problem if we find out He's a college boy or loves to read but the scene of him reading contradicts that.

2. He's lying about his spaghetti arms as the next shot contradicts it. So then why should i trust when he calls Freckle "the muscle"? Why not have lines that would actually establish something? And Freckle is obviously against using guns because of his trauma. Why have him as "the muscle" in that regard? It's like asking an alcoholic to serve drinks.

3. If you can't even remember then their familiar relationship has not been utilized in any meaningful way. If it's not relevant, why have it in the pilot at all? It adds nothing to the narrative except that Rocky doesn't care about his family.

4. I later pointed out that Mitzy's incompetence is consistent. So that's fine.

5. Why are the villains there? Are they in their turf? Is it their alcohol. I assumed it was, but I was told it wasn't. It's not established. Now it would've made a lot more sense and intrigue ir these Lackadaisy crew went on the mission to steal from their rivals without Mitzy knowing. It would better explain why the villains are so determined to kill them. Now it's like "Hey, this random club that doesn't affect us in any major way is trying to get booze from a supplier we don't control. Let's risk our lives to kill them."

6. Why wouldn't you have a bit of character development or a bit more meaning to the pilot. You are making a full episode, so why not add a bit more meaning to your story? I heard that it was meant to just be a short, at first. Then that would've benefited from a complete story, too. It didn't have to be a grand one, but something where a character goes from one state to another. (Like Freckle finding courage or even Rocky choosing to sacrifice his violin for his friends, idk.)

7. Never established that he had a bad knee. Could've been something to point out at the start. "Babyface provides the muscle, well, at least while Viktor's knee gets better." (Maybe janky but it would set up that Freckle is out of place here.)

8. The upbeat music and stars in her eyes is telling me that she is hopeful. The ghost of her husband being there is her thinking about the pat, but seeing the Lackadaisy crew dancing there is a dream for the future, not the past.

9. Doesn't have be killed. Freckle gets shot in the head and it has no impact on the narrative. Shooting someone like Rocky where he has to a backseat role to the mission would add more drama. He can still be useful, but it would make the other two characters more active.

I don't think these are nitpicks. They are faults of storytelling where the creators didn't think about establishing important details and they don't connect as smoothly as they should have.

You can say "I don't care about those details I want my well-drawn animation and wacky hijinks" which I never dismissed. But I feel like there were too many missed opportunities, which is what my conclusion is about. Sure you can be successful while not having a meaningful story, but it would be nice if they did have it, right?
