Casey Jones the worst character?

[picassotheninjaturtle]

It seems that no matter how grave the situation is, Casey always finds it "wicked" and "sick". I think he's the worst character.

Nick Casey, to me is not Casey Jones. He's too annoying and is only there because Casey is such a popular character. The show has done NOTHING with him, and it sucks because Casey has such potential as a character.

Even if Mirage Casey was intended to be a parody of vigilantes, it's still a damn cool idea.

It really does. I know you all think I'm an asshole to cubed, but when he acts like a dick head to newer members for no reason, it really hurts this place. It's unfair to the new people and it's unfair to the rest of us who might like more diversity to the discussions here... rather than hearing about 150 episodes for the millionth time, or his woody for that derpface Benoist.

Anyways, on topic. While they did a great job with CJ's design, the Nick version leaves something to be desired. On top of him being annoying, I miss him having an actual friendship with Raph. Also wish he was actually crazy, but that's never too late!

I pretend that's just some other kid that follows them around. I can't think of him as Casey when, characteristically, he is nothing like Jones. At least in my opinion

He's there simply because people expect him to be there, but as far as I can tell, they've done little to nothing with the character other than "extra in a hockey mask."

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep. Nick Casey doesn't even bond with Raph. What the f*ck, man?

What does this mean? Casey's personality is always wildly different from incarnation.

Mirage = Starts off a maniac but then calms down and becomes a father

Fred Wolf = Complete maniac

4kids = Is a bit of a moron, becomes a bit of a joke and teddy bear although a good fighter

90's movies = Probably the most realistic interpetation of what Jones would be if he existed in real life

IDW = College kid trying to do right by his dad (who is Hun in that version)

Nick = High school kid who is metal


See, this is why I don't understand what you people want. You guys claim characters are not the same, when every version does something different.

I don't think he's the worst character at all. I think he gets pretty annoying when he and Don are fighting over April, but other than that, I don't really have a problem with him. I do wish he would bond more with Raph though as others have said.

Is Casey the worst character? Depends on what category we're talking here.

As a main character? Maybe? He is kind of useless and, yes, the proclamations of "This so Metal" is kind of annoying. I find Mikey to be a little more annoying than him but it might have more to do with his prominence.

How he's handled compared to other versions of the character? Oh yeah, he's certainly the most mishandled iteration of the character I've seen outside of the FW cartoon. It's not as bad as growling "LAWBREAKER" and "I WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING" all the time but yeah, still a pretty poor version of the character. Without Gabe, or Shadow, or alcoholism, or an abusive father, or a deep rooted hatred for Hun, or the fear of becoming too violent, or a serious romance with April, or really anything backing up his anger/violence, what's left? Raph's buddy with sports equipment for weapons? That's kind of lame.

As the worst character in the show, period? Certainly not. This show has Pidgeon Pete, Mondo Gecko, Muckman, Napoleon Bonafrog, Bigfoot, that Sparrow guy etc. With a show that has this many characters you're bound to get some really awful ones. I mean seriously, Pete was literally just "I WANT BREAD, GIVE ME BREAD!" how can anything be more annoying than that?

OT Casey was hilarious though. I want psycho Casey back

[Jephael]

I remember before they premiered his character I stated that I would've liked to see him as a middle aged widower with an adopted baby daughter (Shadow) who befriends the group or something to that effect. I feel like that would've made for an interesting plot device. Of course then he wouldn't have been able to be in a relationship with April for obvious reasons and Donatello wouldn't get all jealous and petulant all the time.

Ew, yeah. I was so f*cking disapointed when I realized the hockey mask was basically a glorified cameo.

Elias Koteas's Hockey Mask had more screen time than Amell's

Pretty much IDW,Mirage, and 4kids have the same personalities goof moron who fights crime because his family was either attacked or he had a bad childhood.

As for the Nick Casey he sucks baaaaaaaadd, we don't know anything about his homelife or background he is just some random kid who gets a set of sports equipment and just somehows just whacks a bunch of footbots. Not saying the 4kids Casey is perfect but at least we understand his motivation and had more of a relationship with the hamato clan then being a love rival towards Don

[lonewarrior20]

i kinda felt like he hit a new low in the insect trifecta episode when he sounded like a toy commercial for the grapple packs.

Nonsense. He's not a goof/moron in Mirage or IDW. They're as similar to one another as the turtles are across each iteration, in that it's the same formula, but there are plenty of personality differences.

Have you even read the comics? Anyone who's well-versed knows this.
