Why do people hate Casey Jones?

Some people are bashful, some actually hide it well and still act like themselves. As a matter of fact, if I'm interested in a guy, I try to have conversations with him where we're both confiding in each other, as a way to get to know one another better, or find common interests, etc. In this regard, I've never been particularly "bashful", but I am more mindful of what I say and don't say.

Actually, your Harry Potter point is perfect for what I was talking about. Hermione was very "protective" of Harry, like April is of Casey, and they had an incredibly close bond. But, Harry and Hermione saw eachother as brother and sister. When it came to Ron, they were both confused about eachother, and didn't know how to act around one another. So, thanks for point this all out, because the Harry/Hermione/Ron thing is how I am seeing the Casey/April/Donnie thing. Almost to a T.

I understand where people are coming from in regards to Casey. He has a lot of personality and style, but he lacks substance or the substance is not shown enough. Also doesn't help that he has a frat bro mentality with April but that doesn't bother me as much because April seem to be into that type.

IDW's Casey has the opposite problem. He has a lot of genuine interactions with the other characters but has a generic looking design. Honestly if you ask me pointblank, I could not remember his personality but again his interactions with Raphael and everybody helps a lot with his character; where as the Nick's Casey barely has any and when he does have them, most of them are with April, which I don't mind because April desperately needs someone to flesh out her since Irma was never and now can't ever be that person.

The only times when we see him interacting with the turtles (who are not Donnie) are just sharing one liners and side commentary.

With that aside however, there seem more of those interactions in season 3. Again, those moments a little brief compare to April's but I guess the writers themselves are trying establish on who is close to who.

Mainly they're worried that April might find human penis to be more attractive than turtle penis.

But seriously, if April were to actually be with someone, it would more likely be Casey than Donnie because of a number of reasons, ranging from the tradition of them being a couple to simple things within the show itself like the fact that Donnie can't do normal couple things like go to a movie early on or raise a family later on. This would not have been a problem for the creative team if they did not shoot themselves in the foot from the start.

As for negative qualities in Casey unrelated to the go-nowhere-love-trianlge? Well, he's cocky, ignorant, mentally unstable, immature and is not very pretty to look at. Scrawny body, greasy hair and knocked out teeth.

I don´t hate Casey! His 2012 version is pretty cool.
