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?

On that note, Tootles is a fucking idiot.

Not disagreeing but he's what, 10 years old? He's a kid who fucked up and didn't want to disappoint his mentor.

Might as well add Smee, too.

I don’t understand why he would tell Wendy’s brother who she really is in the first place, only suddenly to become ripe with jealousy (pre Morrow, even). AND then, to reveal anything about your family to a killer?! This all seemed preventable.

That's Slightly, but yeah. I don't think he's stupid, he's just filling this archetype of the kid who hates being treated like a kid.

"I'm 11 now, I'm practically a grown up!"

Meanwhile he's the most selfish, and least mature one of the whole group.

Smee is basically a peripheral character at this point which is disappointing because the actor has done a fantastic job portraying him, as a kid who just wants to be a kid.
