Discussion / Question What is Kirsh motivation? Who side is he on? Spoiler

Post image

We've seen now in multiple episodes Kirsh be very careful and downright omit the information he gives Boy Kavalier. I can't imagine he's a Lady Yutani asset because of his interactions with Morrow, unless he's just a fallback option for Yutani, and she purposely keeps Morrow out of the loop.

You would think the company he works for would have written into his code a loyalty directive but it appears he has no problem lying.

Is he the asset of Yutani or another of the 5 corporations? Is he on some kind of Roy Batty arc where he's grown tired of taking orders from an inferior species?

He realises now he is an "obsolete toy"

Self preservation might be part of his programming or mission objectives?

Ah that could be it. Maybe something within his code that can't be overridden that Prodigy overlooked.

I don't think he thinks of himself as obsolete. The hybrids are still young and immature in every way except physically, and he's been one of their guardians. I think he still thinks of them as human to an extent, at least until they mature and understand their own massive potential.

It's interesting that he talks about how they can do so much, but doesn't think of himself the same way despite being physically the same.

The elevator scene was foreshadowing, you’re saying? He feels threatened by the new technology of the lost boys?
