Everyone remember Cousin Sid? Well the big Purple Dragon in the Nicktoon's name just happens to be Sid. Just saying.

Looks pretty awesome. Loving the skull mask. Want the poster!

I'm excited to see where the show goes with Casey, but like a lot of others I'm both interested/fearful of what this might mean for the Donnie/April thing. As a huge supporter of that pairing (in this universe anyway), I don't really want to see it dropped just because Casey/April has happened in most everything else. If they do a great love triangle like others have described it though, and/or make it a big growth thing for Donnie, then I'd be fine with it for the most part though.

Except for the fact that there really is no Donnie/April going on. It's all totally one-sided, April has absolutely no interest in Don outside of the friendship she shares with him and his brothers and if she's gone this far without showing even an inkling of changing her mind, I seriously doubt she ever well. A love triangle would in turn boost the show into focusing even more on romance which would probably turn a lot of viewers off since TMNT isn't a teeny-bopper romance show. I agree that giving Donnie some (mature) growth after April officially tells him she won't ever return his feelings is the best way to go. I'm really dreading how this is going to play out since I hate that Nick had to throw Don so deep into this dumb crush and it's turned into such a huge part of who he is now.

I mean, check out the poster! Can anyone spot Raph?

Spoiler:

After staring at this image for a while I just noticed the shadow of what might be a Foot Ninja running on the left-hand side. Also, what is going on with Casey's left hand? I can't make it out.

True, what we've seen thus far is all one-sided on Donnie's part - but there's nothing to suggest that April wouldn't possibly return his affection in time. It's all a guessing game as of now.

And they can handle the romance angle without turning it into a teeny-bopper show. Look at the first Avatar series for example, they handled a good deal of romantic angles without compromising the main action-and-humor base of the story.

As far as what they've done with Donnie in this one, we'd just have to agree to disagree on that I think. This is probably my favorite incarnation of Donatello, who was always just kind of the '4th Turtle' for me in everything else (though I've recently become quite fond of his OT incarnation too). But in this version, he's my favorite character, and a lot of that is that they've finally shown him as having interests outside of tech stuff. And if that interest has to be romance based - well, that's fine with me. But I can understand why it'd rub someone who liked other incarnations of Donnie much better the wrong way though.

the figure on the left is definately a foot soldier, its got the two toes and puffy clothes around the arm like the nick foot soldiers do. And that thing on Casey's left hand is a goalie's blocker


Edit: Though that kind of implies Casey is going to be Left Handed, but his stick hes holding is definitely a righty.

Good observation Shreddhead!

I just noticed that on the poster, Casey's shadow makes the image of his original mask.

I don't know if this is a new quote, but it's a new article from yesterday.

The character of Casey, a fan-favorite, has been confirmed for some time now but was said to wait until Season 2. Show co-creator Ciro Nieli previously stated, “We'll take our time introducing him," declaring that Casey will also be a high school student like April but that he's "maybe a couple years older – he got held back."

So there is scope for an April-Casey love interest but I think she'll probably hate him for a while until he saves her life or vice versa and then they'll grudgingly like each other and then get together.

I'm hoping for a face off between Donnie and Casey where Donnie gets over protective and tells him to back off or something.

So dude may have been held back? Interesting. I can't wait to see him in action and the inevitable action figure.

Eh, I blame the writers trying to fill the desires of the huge Zuko/Katara shippers than trying to let Mako and Korra's relationship fit together naturally. The whole "waterbender lusting over a firebender stud making him cheat to his girlfriend" was a staple in most zutara fics.

And the season is ending... and there's really no romance going on between Don and April so no worries.

At least it gives us a better indication agewise.

He could've been in his 20's for all we know.

Cool! Wonder if Miranda Cosgrove would voice a villainess on either TMNT or Spider-Man?

This marks my 1,700th post!

Personally I hope that April doesn't fall for Casey this time.

I really liked Legend of Korra and can't wait for season two.

I wouldn't mind a ship of Casey/April if they start off in more an organic way. I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I remember how it got started in the 2k3 series. "Aww look at them making daggers at each other even though they secretly wuv each other! They sooo cute together!" Anything but that please. I had enough of that in the Legend of Korra.

I think the major problem with the legend of korra love is that Mako cheated on his girlfriend and got with Korra for no reason.

as long as TMNT doesn't do anything close to that, I'm solid

But it still had the opposite attract bickering love attraction angle that I must have seen about a dozen times.

If a boy/girl calls you names it means they like you.

They're just applying playground 'logic'.

But agreed, the love/hate thing is old.
