Why does everybody think that OT Casey is more badass then 2k3 Casey
 

Once you actually think about OT Casey feats they aren't that impressive, sure he went mano y mano with the shredder but basically everyone and their 10 year old beat or at least outsmarted shredder while 2k3 Casey did pretty good for a guy with no formal training

I dunno 2k3 casey to me was a panzy to be honest

Well having a Jersey shore voice didn't help.

He was from NY/NJ area what kind of accent is he supposed to have?

The voice was menaacing with Pat Fraley doing his Dirty Harry impression. Also, Casey Jones was over the top and tear anything apart tht the censors would allow. That was where his humor came from. Never removing the mask made him mysterious while we saw 2003 Casey Jone's face too much.Casey Jones of the 2003 cartoon was also clumsy and not too sharp while the '87 cartoon version was not too bright himself, he seemed to be decent intellct in what we saw. For those reasons Casey Jones is much more a badbutt in the '87 cartoon than the 03. It also helped having Casey in fewer episodes. Casey Jone is not a character I think should be overexposed. It makes his appearances better.

He was a psycho in the OT.

We never even saw him remove his mask so we never even saw his face!

That's what I like about him. :)

The 2k3 Casey is just another jock nothing special imo. He's also whiny and and a git which makes me dislike him even more.

Yep! Casey on the OT was just crazy!!

His accent was fake, generic and was the polar opposite of subtle.

Although in my opinion most of the voices were obnoxious and cartoonish.

I've never seen OT Casey but 2k3 Casey is the polar opposite of badass. Partly because he like, never puts the mask on.

Because OT Casey was crazy and not afraid to beat anybody as he saw fit. 2K3 Casey was goofier and used more as a comedic device than anything else. His first appearance was the best though.

Was...was Fred Wolf Casey supposed to be a badass? I thought he was just supposed to be flippin' insane and hilariously violent, which isn't the same thing.

It's like apples to oranges, too. I thought 4Kids Casey was almost too dumb for his own universe, but he's still from a radically different type of story than Fred Wolf Casey is, and so comparing them seems a bit odd.

It's funny in the comics and 2003 show him and April are lovers. In the OT, they are just friends.......or are they?

OT April does have his phone number. wink wink ;)

2K3 Casey isn't certifiable enough, I suppose.

OT Casey was literally psychotic, whereas 2k3 Casey wasn't, plus 2k3 Casey was annoying at times.


Just look at his Job Interview in the OT......

Now that I've seen OT Casey (thanks MikeandRaph87;) )
OT Casey: badass fighter
2k3 Casey: dumbass

....Because he is..

2K3 Casey was okay as it was explained why he became a vigilante and having a vendetta against the Purple Dragons. OT Casey would just break your legs if he catches you jaywalking or littering. I do get a good chuckle everytime he says "Stop, Lawbreaker!"

I love the OT version of Casey, its still one of my favorite Action Figures of all time. However, he was not a very accurate representation of the Original Character in the comics.

Casey wasn't Dumb, but he wasn't exactly a genius either. I feel that got overdone in the 2k3 series.

I am looking forward to the new younger version in the Viacom series. His designs definitely look BA. However I can see this going the same way as 2k3 where we see Casey as a regular recurring character, most likely sans mask too often.

However, if he refuses to listen to the Turtles Advice I can see him simply showing up mask and armor all, whenever he pleases... and SLOWLY becoming a member of the inner circle.

Re-watching Season 3 on DVD...
OT Casey is a psychopath! lol
