which casey is better? OT or NT?

im gonna go with NT, obviously...lolz and it's not just a matter of a better graphic...

for some reason I really like OT Casey Jones. Sure his potrayal was a Dirty Harry rip-off, but I could oddly take him seriously as a violent nut job that would bash your head. Beyond the first season 2k3 Casey ceased to be anything but comic relief in my eyes. The writers just couldn't resist turning him into this dunder-head goof. Sure after season one he had his shining moments, but he didn't get redeemed in my eyes till BTTS believe or not, when he matured into a compatible husband for April.

OT Casey. On the whole, he's cornier, but he's also more ruthless and embraces the aspect of the character I dig the most. 4Kids Casey started out like that, but as his relationship with April blossomed, he got more and more domesticated, then his pesky family got brought into the picture and it just deflated the myth.

I dig the Casey from the first movie too

[Mr.Turtle]

o tell me abt it... 1st movie casey FTW!

[BubblyShell22]

Elias Koteas.

This!

I like the corny play on Casey's hothead attitude towards crime and the street smart Elias Koteas.Put it together for the ultimate Casey Jones.

I'm going with NT Casey. Elias Koteas's Casey is the best version of him.

Elias Koteas.

This. But since it's toon I'll have to pick OT. He just seemed more hotheaded to me.

Just because a character isn't tough doesn't mean that its not the best version. NT Casey had his story from Raphael #1 which was his actual origin to the team, and the encounter in Central Park after leaving his parents' house is worth it compared to the more "stereotypical badass" from the OT in which that Casey is more or less a tool for fighter. Romance is a powerful virtue and it shows in the NT, plus the fact that we get to see Casey without his hockey mask in addition. An honorable mention goes toward that short movie as well.

Had to go with nt casey. When I was little I loved him in the ot now though I wonder what the heck I was thinking.

[ssjup81]

Obviously I can't choose, since I've never seen the 2K3 series, but I will mention what I loved about OT Casey. Dude was insane. That is all. :tlol: Thing I hated...he never took off his mask, even in the ep when he was trying to get a job. Yeah, it's pretty cool that only Casey could get away with it, but still rather silly. Crazy how he got that job too.

For me, I think a mix of OT Casey and Movie 1 Casey would be perfect. Mirage Casey is okay, but after getting with April, he calmed down too much for my tastes, and it seems that by some of the posts here, the same happened in the 2k3 series.

I like how his family has a farm in Massachussetts in the 2003 show, so the TMNT can visit rural USA more.
