Does anybody else hate Casey from the Nick TMNT cartoon?

SkolNation26 · 10-01-2015, 06:34 AM

I loved the Casey Jones character from back in the day, but Casey from the Nick show is horrible! He is an idiot, who always just causes problems. The "This is awesome" comment from the end of the season 3 finale pretty much sums it up.

*VaughnMichael* · 10-01-2015, 06:59 AM

I don't care for him very much myself.

*Shark_Blade* · 10-01-2015, 08:11 AM

The comment at the end of Season 3 was dumb, but other than that I have nothing to complain much about his character.

*plastroncafe* · 10-01-2015, 08:44 AM

Nope.

He and April are on my top hate list for the new cartoon lol. I just hate teenage Casey...he is just...i can't stand him :/

*IndigoErth* · 10-01-2015, 10:33 AM

Hate, no, though I do find him a bit annoying.

I don't understand. You don't like him but you think he's awesome?

I like him fine.

I don't hate/dislike Casey or any character of this series. It's super rare for me to legit dislike or hate a character and it's usually characters that are super selfish, don't care about others (Light from Deathnote for example), those who act as if they're better than those around them (Kiyomi from Deathnote/Ayeka from Tenchi, for example), those who treat others unfairly or don't seem to show appreciation (ChibiUsa from the original Sailor Moon anime...liked her fine for the manga), etc. Casey doesn't fit any of these traits. He cares about his friends, city, and family. Can't dislike him for that. I don't favor him, but I don't dislike him either, as for me, I have favorites and non-favorites. I also like the fact that he acts his age...a cocky (this is a trait of Casey in general), impulsive (hm, this feels very Casey-ish too), teen.

The only thing I can think of that did legitimately bug me was his "awesome" line at the end of the finale, unless they are going to have him in denial, then I'll take it back and would want Raph to be the one to react to it.

*Cure* · 10-01-2015, 04:55 PM

What is people's problem with that line? I legitimately don't understand.

Really? Ok, his planet was completely destroyed. Everyone and everything he once knew are gone. A robot comes and says you're going on a space adventure.

To me, it was like...

*Earth is destroyed*

Casey:

Fugitoid: *dangles keys*. Your planet is gone and everyone you cared about are dead, but hey, look at the shiny keys!

Casey: Shiny! Cool!

That's how it felt to me, like how when a toddler may fall or trip abd you quickly do something so that they don't notice the pain or discomfort. I don't see how he could switch like that. It felt very out of place given what just happened.

Yeah, but Casey tends to live in the moment and he is in denial. So he is using the fact they are going on an adventure in space to distract him from the heavier subject that their planet and everyone they knew has just been destroyed.

Which yes is like dangling key's in front of a child to distract them.

For example my Room Mate enjoys watching Gray's anatomy so I saw Casey's reaction as being not all that different then this

While Izzy is acting like an asshole by laughing at the fact one of her friends just died right now, the impact of George's death really hits her later on in that episode.

cryan · 10-01-2015, 05:22 PM

In the end you are not going to please everybody.

*Drose18* · 10-02-2015, 09:47 PM

I hate casey but no where near as much as I hate this april. so annoying that she has unexplained force powers that magically save the day at the last second constantly.

That's why I'm hoping it picks up where it left off.

He's CJ-lite - which is to say, he is Casey Jones, but without all that charisma and competence.

that got a good laugh out of me because I agree. Him spouting on about his supreme awesomeness just grates me to no end. To be fair I've never liked characters like that. His final line at the end of season 3 is just icing on the cake. I laughed at how stupidly-goofy it was and knew without a doubt that the finale was written by Brandon Auman. If only you could see my face when I checked the episode on the wiki lol

Nasubionna · 11-14-2015, 03:04 PM

Yeeeeah. A lot of commenters have already summed up pretty well how I feel about this version of Casey: he has his moments and his design and voice are great, but he annoys me to no end. I don't hate him, but he frustrates me A LOT (much of this is the fault of the writers, because he has a lot more potential... though I feel that way about most/all of the characters, so...)
But, to be fair, Casey has never been my favorite character (not a fan of the cocky, overconfident types, personally), so my irritation with him is not all that surprising.

bigb1986 · 11-14-2015, 07:09 PM

i thought the wyrm episode was going to change him permanently in some fashion but i was wrong. i absolutely hate casey on the nick show. i hate his look i hate his personality....i hate everything about his character.

Oh. I don't really see it that way, but whatevs. I just see it as a line that's meant to be like "You hear that, kids?! They're going to space! Be excited!".

Also he's not very bright. He just might not understand the gravity of the situation.

*Shark_Blade* · 10-02-2015, 07:19 AM

Casey's sister and parents(?) ARE DEAD. And his first reaction after seeing earth's destruction and offered an outerspace adventure was: "this is awesome"?

That's just plain retarded tbh. I blame the stupid writers.
