How would you fix April O'Neil?

As for Casey, he doesn't really need fixing imo. We know what his future ambitions and aspirations are, we know of at least one of his hobbies (hockey and art), and we know what pushed him into wanting to become a vigilant (to protect his family [father and sister] and friends). He does come across as a bit cocky, but that will probably always be the case as it's a trademark of his character, minus the OT where he was just insane (that's why I liked him so much as a kid ). Anywho, I know all these things about Casey, but I know practically nothing about April and she's been around a lot longer. I find Irma more interesting than April, and she's a minor character...for now.

As for Mikey I agree 100%! Someone should make a how to fix Mikey thread.

Great points on Casey. I guess my main problems are that he's a bit overly cocky and that he's not as developed as the rest of the main group, which makes him forgettable in comparison.

Take 2K3 Casey for example; sure he was cocky, but he never got annoying because he always kept his cool when he was pushed around by the others. He was also naive and kindhearted, that scene where he expressed his love for April in Season 5 is a good example. Above all this, he had an actual character arc! He let go of his traumatising past to confront the odds with more confidence and honour.

For April, I guess I just really like her personality. It may have shrouded my opinion in terms of her being a plot-device but I never felt it was really that hyperbolized!

Mike...just....well, he was good in Season 1 but now it's really getting old whenever he's the butt of the punchline. He's becoming more and more childish and annoying instead of becoming more adult and understanding!
