Any Raphael fans who dislike Casey Jones? Or their friendship? - Page 2

I am not a Raph fan, but I hope I can answer too.
Casey never was one of my favorite characters, but he isn't bad in OT and 4kids (only episode I didn't like him is "shredder strikes back part 2") series, good in the first movies. But in Nick series he is awful for me, and for me Nick series would be better without him.

Add me to the list of people who don't like Nick's Casey. There's something really obnoxious about him, although to be fair he's far younger than he is in Mirage and 4kids.

Mirage Casey struggled through a lot, and I could feel his pain coming through the pages. The pages where the doctor tells Casey that Gabrielle has died giving childbirth are amongst the most heartbreaking ever seen in TMNT media

The fact that he had the courage to go on to bring up Shadow says a lot about what sort of man he is.

4kids Casey starts off very violent but actually softens a lot, you really see his soft side in scenes with April and Splinter (he really looks up to Splinter). Really likeable guy.

Elias Koteas is the top man and really doesn't need any praise seeing as he's brilliant as Casey and is an excellent actor in general.

This Nick Casey doesn't seem to have any empathy for anyone and seems lacking socially.

I've always liked both Casey and Raph. They're the two characters that I feel every rendition has gotten right. There's some controversy over Nick's Casey, and I have to agree that's probably the weakest incarnation of him. But, to be fair, he's in high school this time around; he's not some 23+ year-old. So it's only natural that he comes off as obnoxious and hardheaded. I think the Nick crew did well with what they had to work with, after having made him as young as he is.

Not 2k3 Casey.

IDW Casey is the best Casey.

I'm just waiting for Nick's Casey Jones to say "HUG ME BROTHAAA" to Raph.

Raphs reaction would be great.

I like IDW Casey. OK with Mirage. Not much with 4Kids and Nick.

Their friendship is a good thing for me. But Nick didn't do it well, I didn't see them together much except in their episode, Casey even interacted with Donnie more than Raph.

And here a pic for Raph fans.

I wonder if the Nick Casey will be subject to that infamous accusation from Donnie from the 1990 movie. "You're a claustrophobic!" "What, you want a fist in the mouth! I never even looked at another guy!"

That was comedy gold! I can totally see this thrown into the Nick toon at some point.

Lol Donnie really annihilated him in that scene. Was one of the rare moments where Donnie showcased his knowledge too.

Not sure it will make it into Nick. It's a homophobic statement (implying that some deserves a smack for implying that you're gay, as Casey believed Donnie was doing) and that's an uncomfortable area on a kiddie show.
