Nick's Casey or Nick's April: Which do you prefer the way the guy's wrote these chara
 
Out of either of these characters who do you like better written? Just curious. I know we have few who complain about the way both have been handled so.

Casey has style and personality.

IndigoErth 09-28-2014 03:18 PM

Hmm.. it's kind of a tie for me at this point. Wasn't too crazy about Casey at first, but liking most of what they're doing with him so far now that we've seen more of him.

Only thing I'd prob do away with on either of them is April's psychic brain wave powers and Casey seeming a bit stronger than he prob should at his age and build (that annoys me a smidge... Raph really should have had an easier upper hand when they first met). Otherwise it's pretty good for both imo.

I admit they're both not my favorites, but I'd take Casey over April any day. At least he has a personality. April on the other hand feels nothing more than a plot devise to me. Well, for the most part anyway.

Maybe that will change in season 3.

Yeah, I really hope so... It seems the Krang don't need her anymore, so maybe they do something new for her character from now on.

BubblyShell22 09-28-2014 05:19 PM

I have no problem with either of them to be honest.

Werecat 09-28-2014 05:31 PM

I love Nick Casey, he has an awesome personality and I like how well the voice actor fits him. However Nick April is quickly turning into a Mary Sue and is getting to be very unlikable because of it.

ssjup81 09-28-2014 05:50 PM

Probably Casey if forced to choose. I feel I know more about him compared to April. April, at times, still comes across as a plot device, but given what transpired at the end of season 2, hopefully in season 3 we'll actually learn more about her.

I wouldn't say she's a Mary Sue, because she isn't, nor is she liked by every character around her. She is flawed (very stubborn), so that's something I like. She has that stereotypical fiery redhead personality. lol

Honestly, there should be a third option. "Both about the same."

Shark_Blade 09-28-2014 06:38 PM

They're pretty bold to have April leaving the team at the start of Season 2, something that has never happened before.

So I'll go with April.

plastroncafe 09-28-2014 07:24 PM

Casey. Hands down.
I had hope that April would be more than a token McGuffin, but...alas.

Jester 09-28-2014 07:34 PM

Maybe Season 3 will help develop April...thought it does suck that Casey has less screen time and is probably just as if not slightly more developed.

snake 09-28-2014 08:15 PM

Casey. April is pretty dull.

Warhorse 09-28-2014 08:31 PM

Casey for now. April, at the moment, she's just there for me. Karai, Irma and Leo's little tea time pal had more personality than April does. Only time April was actually decent, when she wanted to know about Leo's crush, and when she was getting all pissy with Donnie when he wanted Karai on their team.

With little things that we have on April, I wonder what kind of character can she be other then exploring her family because.....you know budget and ****.

Base on what little things I saw so far I know
•she an animal lover
•maybe likes chess
•shipping/romance
•generally a good student but doesn't have strong interest in science like the other aprils
•doesn't like to be left out
•interested in being a ninja, training for it, and likes it
•impatience• stubborn
•had a ugly duckling phase
•probably still wears glasses but only wear at her house
•is not good about talking her feelings or maybe she just doesn't like talk about herself.

Honestly they need to explorer those a little bit more and maybe have episode where she going through a personal problem like Turtle temper, Follow the Leader, Monkey Brains, and New Friend, Old Enemy.

April was never that interesting. She has the most personality in IDW.

I have to agree. No incarnation that I've been exposed to has April ever been interesting to me. I've yet to read anything from IDW.

I'll pass still for now. If I didn't have to import it to Japan I would.

Shark_Blade 09-29-2014 01:25 AM

Get it on iBook/iOS then. Cheap and fast.

After a month + long hospital visit...I really need to save the cash for now...and the cellular data.*still in the hospital* I actually had planned on starting the IDW series a couple of years ago. I'm even more anxious to now.

Candy Kappa 09-29-2014 03:49 AM

Casey, hands down. April had potential, but we barely know her.

coxfire 09-29-2014 06:46 AM

Casey for me too, but he had the advantage to have a whole episode devoted to him and his introduction to the Turtles, that helped understanding why he would do his vigilante stuff.


I also think we need to see those two interact more with other Turtles than their "designated" ones. Leo for instance had very few interactions with April (except in New Girl in town, and it was great) and I none memorable with Casey. Same for Michelangelo, apart from Plan 10, we didn't see him interact much with Casey.

April has of course lots of interactions with Donnie, and also had some very interesting with Splinter, but I hope next season will also show her more often with the other guys, particularly in the opener in the farm. April has mainly reacted to what happened to her, but we never had an inner monologue from her like the one we had with Casey, despite her being basically the center of the Kraang's plot. We didn't even have a proper exploration of her feelings upon discovering she wasn't 100% human.

Midnight Mutant 09-29-2014 04:00 PM

I'm going to have to go with Casey. He's just more entertaining. I like April's sarcasm, but sometimes it's over played. I'd like to see her be silly, or actually scared or sad without a snarky line.

I want them to develop Casey a bit more too, I think history would help. The most we've gotten was his story about him and his bestfriend having a falling out.

Either way, I still say Casey.

Slade 09-29-2014 10:40 PM

Well, I actually don't care for either them to be honest.

drgon78 09-30-2014 06:30 AM

I would say nick's April.
