Casey Jones Trailer

[Donatello19]

Guys! This is a kids show! I doubt they'll pair April up with anyone anyway, and even if they do, what are they gonna do? Hold hands? OH NO, ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!

True. You just go with the flow.

April: Hi, Donnie. What are you up to?
Donnie: Nothing much, just polishing my staff.
April: Need help with that?

yea XD I agree with this...

if Don and April did get together they'd probably just hold hands anyway. (or a kiss on the cheek)

if she got with Casey then we'd probably have a higher chance of a kiss.

WHAT?! HAVE YOU GONE MAD?! B-BUT HE'S A TURTLE AND SHE'S A HUMAN THAT ISN'T RIGHT WE CAN'T HAVE THAT IN A KIDS SHOW! IF THAT HAPPENS KIDS WILL BE SCARRED! NO CHILD OF MINE WILL BE WATCHING SUCH A HORRIBLE INAPPROPRIATE PROGRAM!

All joking aside, this argument about whether it's ok or not to have Donnie and April as a couple is ridiculous. Just in case you didn't know, they're FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!

Don't give them your attention. Just ignore them let them revel in their fantasies, as sick and twisted as they may be.

It's not so much debating about April and Don together as it is pointing out that not preferring them together has NOTHING to do with being close-minded against couples of different races/homosexuals/transexuels, etc. :/

[Gyt Kaliba]

I never said it's not okay to not prefer them together though. My only issue is with 'but he's a turtle, ewwwwww!' isn't really a good reason to be against it either. Maybe I'm going too high-minded with my comparisons, but seriously - that by itself just isn't that great a reason.

And disliking them for that reason doesn't mean you're against those things, but it can certainly come off that way if you're not clear in what you're saying, which you are Bossa Nova - it's others I can't say that for. But I do agree, automatically assuming that is the same as automatically assuming that someone must be some sick bestiality deviant just because they happen to like the pairing. Like the old saying goes, "Don't assume; it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'."

I'm actually tired of arguing this point myself too though, if anyone wants to debate it more, I'm game elsewhere (a thread for it, a PM, whatever, so long as it is a debate and not back-and-forth name-calling) - we should probably get back on topic of Casey Jones here anyway.

Here's a few questions that would clarify many things and your viewpoint, just out of curiosity.
If in reality, you found the "love of your life" with a pet dog (or any pet animal) that had the same emotional and intellectual awareness as a human, would you be willing to have a long term monogamous relationship the dog? And proudly say to everyone that he/she was the love of your life? ...Even so far to become intimate to "share" this love together? ...Just curious here, that's all.

You just describe life of Brain Griffin .

That's true but that's in the perspective of a cartoon, and a satirical comedic one at that. I was just curious to see how far Gyt Kaliba's "open-mindedness" would take him/her since the term "reality" was used. **shrug**

Well, for starters, if they were on the same...whatever-the-right-word-is level as a human, they wouldn't be a pet anyway, cuz that would be wrong too.

As for the latter questions of your post though, I almost feel like this is a 'trap' question so you or others can go 'HA, HE IS SICK/IS A FURRY/etc.', but you know what? I'm game.

I admit that I find it hard to imagine because the default reaction is to feel a little queasy, because all we do have in reality are non-anthromorphic non-human-intelligence/emotioned animals. So now that you ask me directly, I guess I can see more where some people's uncomfortableness is coming from. But if there was an animal on the same 'whatever' level as humanity, and I fell in love with them and them me? Then yeah, in this hypothetical scenario, I would be unashamed of it. Again though, this is under the hypothesis that it was a consensual relationship, and this other being was on the same wavelengths as me as a person.

Maybe that's the word(s) I'm looking for, is something dealing with consensual. Animals, sentient or not, aren't able to 'consent' to something like we humans are, and there-in lies the difference between these hypothetical scenarios and actually sick people.

Anyway, again, maybe we had better get back on topic of Casey Jones here. ^_^;

All I'm gonna say is "to each their own". That's all... nothing more, nothing less. **shrug**

You implied I was a racist. That's as low as it f*cking gets.

[BabyTurtles]

didn't April already call Donnie her brother?
so doesn't she already not see him like that? XD
(I personally thought it was obvious she had no feelings towards him)

sometimes you just don't like a guy and have no reason not too...you just don't.

same with Bolin and Korra....Bolin is awesome...but Korra chose someone else (don't even want to get into that)

so if April turns Donnie down....she can turn him down simply because she doesn't like him...no other reason XD

and she can like Casey if he's a good guy.

April isn't entitled to like someone just because they are good friends/nice.

[NinjaMan]

Maybe April will fall for the pizza delivery boy.

I honestly think that April knows about Donnie feelings about her but chooses not to acknowledge them cause she has bigger things on her mind like...oh I don't know..maybe her father being kidnapped by aliens. I sure she generally cares about him as a person but theres has to be some kind connection to go over the fact that he's not a human and ,from I had see in the show, the connection isn't really that deep. It's just plain old puppy love.


Speaking of having a connection and going back to the topic, if they're going to pair April and Casey then the writers should try to change some things about their characters to make the pairing feel more natural.

[Shreddhead]

Love the design, everything except the face paint. The mask look is sooooo much better.

I am so excited for Casey!!!

Who's she spending all of her time with? Who is she looking up to for guidance?

Splinter knows what's up. He's been in that sewer for a loooong time with nothing but four boys. Time for a lil sum sum.

OH WHY DIDNT I EVER SEE THIS BEFORE??? Oh this is just too funny!!

[Electric]

At first i was hoping for April and Donnie, then i was hoping for a love triangle, but you know, at this point i just want her to turn them both down, if nothing else to stop the fans from arguing
