I recognize that Casey also seems to have nothing going on outside of the Turtles. But April is usually portrayed as the "normal" one. It can't feel very normal to be her, though. |
I think I'm one of the few people who ENJOY April's role in City at War. I don't find it boring, I find it compelling.
She's felt trapped by this mutant family for so long, but by the time she tries to rejoin society, she no longer feels like she belongs or can fit in. It's too pedestrian... so she goes back.
Honestly, when you think about it, it can present quite a depressing message.
