Casey Jones the worst character?

It's not shoddy writing at all if you don't show something all of the time. It's about what's important to the story as it's being told.

The world never blew up in 2K3 TMNT though. We never even knew if April's parents were still alive or not, but I'm sure even 2K3 would have remembered to have April worry about her sister.

I think everyone's making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. Fact of the matter was, Casey's family is dead and it's like he doesn't even care. He said he wanted to become a vigilante so he could protect his sister... now she and everyone else he wanted to protect are dead but who cares right? Yes, I know there was little he could do but he was there during the battle with the Triceratons, there's still that moment of 'if only I was stronger' or 'if only I did this or that differently' that he would blame himself for. All avoided if he just wanted to fight crime because he feels somebody has to, or at least to protect April. If you're not gonna show a character, don't make them important to the character.

Again, it's like the Turtles once off handedly said 'oh yeah, this guy named Splinter taught us martial arts' and we never ever see him in the entire series, not even flashbacks or anything. Just a random offhanded line. Why bother?
