April should be with Casey? Or Donatello? - Page 5

*watches Usagi lose his mind while Leo stammers and blushes*

But anyway. Mostly I'm just bored of the April/Casey thing and ok with fiction going in other directions. Either way, these shows are always kid friendly so it's bound to kept very light.

Really, just a subtle flirtation between them that they never really pursue beyond that could be enough imo, and sweet and innocent enough to be enjoyable. (Too bad Donnie is already at a point that he'd immediately try to go past that.)

Or, she stays single. (Imagine that.) Or some new guy shows up.

lol That would have been a perfect scene in an episode. To see Usagi with all of those bunnies. Usagi would be in heaven. :3 And Leo blushing. xD

It can go either way. Really, any couple can work with the right writing. I just feel that it's typical for same species to work but to see interspecies go out is interesting. To see humans, mutants, aliens, ect. going out, regardless of their race. To see them look beyond race and focus on what within is always interesting.

It's kind of weird and icky if we were to think back on the old comics, where Casey is more or less, sleeping with a drawing come to life.

Oh Sweet Mother! And now I'm suddenly reminded of a quote from Cool World "'Noids do NOT have sex with Doodles!" Is it wrong that I remember that line?

~~Leo656~~ · 06-11-2015, 11:16 PM

Other than Kim Basinger being 80% hotter as a cartoon, that line's about all anyone can remember about that movie.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-11-2015, 11:36 PM

And the soundtrack. Cause it was kickin'. Seriously, though, I love that flick. It's really fun to watch for all the background $h*t. Probably even more so if you're stoned or drunk. Never tried that, though.

Wolfie65 · 06-12-2015, 08:17 AM

The Nick 'Bigfoot' episode would actually make a pretty good teaching tool for boys who are stuck believing all the garbage they've been told growing up.
April sez to Donnie, 'You're not just a mutant, you're MY mutant.'
Translation: ' There's NO escape from the Friendzone, but stick around, in case I need help moving or rescuing or someone to turn my dad back into a human or the world needs saving or some other favor. You might get a kiss on the cheek.'

I can't say it's my favorite movie but it did have a good soundtrack and amazing art. But there's no harm in an interspecies relationship. I feel tempted to name every interspecies relationship I can think of now. xD

Does anyone remember when Irma had sort of a crush on the turtles? In the early episodes she showed some interest.

But April kisses Donnie on the lips in that scene. And Donnie is the only guy she's ever kissed in the show.

I believe it was Warhorse who pointed out that when April was confiding in Casey in Buried Secrets she had friend zoned him. And Ciro had commented that April does have feelings for Donnie.

At this point April likes both boys for different reasons.

Casey because he's the first human who she can confide and commiserate about the Turtles with.

And Donnie because he's always there for her and listens and cares about how she thinks and feels.

She knows when she makes a choice she is going to have to hurt one, which she isn't looking forward to. And her outing with Casey in deadly venom felt like a litmus test for which boy is better for her, because she has a point where she is commenting about feeling uneasy about how things are and how she wishes there was some normalcy.
And Casey prattles on about the movie they watched without paying her any mind.

If it had been Donnie listening to that...perhaps the conversation would have been different.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-12-2015, 02:11 PM

I voted for Donnie just because it's different, but I'd say wait a little while so that he can grow up and not fawn over her all of the time and so April can gain a little maturity to actually make up her mind. The thing that bugs me is that everyone is calling out Don and Casey on fighting over April, but they don't call out April for allowing it. To me, it seems like she's teasing them by leading them both on with some of the comments she makes, such as in "The Manhattan Project" when Casey said that he wanted to go on a real date with her, and she says, "What do you call this?" and the "My mutant" comment to Donnie. She seems to be enjoying the attention both boys are giving her and isn't rushing to make a choice. Some may think she's confused as to who she likes more, but the more I look at things, it seems to me that she's just leading them both on for her own amusement. I just wish that she would choose and get it over with.

I'm interested in seeing Donnie have a crush on April for one reason and one reason alone: it's heartbreaking. TMNT is essentially a sad story because the turtles will never experience conventional relationships because they are the only of their kind. Donnie's crush adds weight to this idea. To have them get together would fly in the face of this theme.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-12-2015, 02:39 PM

Yeah, that's actually the only part of it that bugs me, too. April may not want to hurt either of them by choosing one, so instead she just keeps delaying things, ensuring that whatever choice she DOES make will just be that much worse for the other one. I mean, I kind of had that same thought about her "date" with Casey in Deadly Venom, where he was just going on about the movie, and didn't seem to be listening to her, until right at the end when he showed that yes, he WAS listening, but just didn't want to worry about all that stuff. He's like Mikey in some respects, living in the moment and ignoring whatever he feels doesn't matter at that exact point in time. He deals with things as they come, and doesn't sweat it.

Donnie on the other hand, worries about EVERYTHING. Seriously, the guy is probably giving himself ulcers before he's even out of adolescence by the amount of spazing out he does over even small things. But because he's so detail-oriented, and pays so much attention to everything around him, he sees when there is something wrong with April and he is quick to do what he can to fix it. Pretty sure she's picked up on that, too.

But all this just means that when she finally decides to pick one, it's going to have a MUCH bigger impact because she has been taking so long to make up her mind. And they will both be affected by that. Whether she realizes that or not, is another matter.

Wolfie65 · 06-12-2015, 07:43 PM

There is a cure.
In the upstate farm story arc, they say that 'turtles don't belong in the woods, they belong in the sewers.'
Actually, they - who were red-eared sliders originally - belong in tropical or sub-tropical waters, so if I was a mutated turtle, I'd get myself moving south to Florida, Louisiana, maybe Bahamas, Guadeloupe.....or even try to figure out a way to get to Hawaii.
Lots of bad guys to battle in Miami, and even Honolulu has enough crime to keep at least Magnum P.I. and a few of his buddies busy.
One look at what's on the beaches of south Florida or Waikiki, and Donnie wouldn't even remember who April is or what all the fuss was all about.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-12-2015, 08:24 PM

Heh, sliders live as far west as the Big Bend area of Texas/Mexico border. Ideally, they'd be living it up on the bayous of Louisiana, living on shrimp, crawdads, and catfish, frog legs, gator tail- dang, why don't they move down there, again? Sun, good cooking, and plenty of isolated space to roam. They could be like Southern Bigfoots....

*BubblyShell22* · 06-13-2015, 07:28 AM

Yep, I agree that whoever April chooses it's going to impact the one she doesn't choose and that makes it harder on both of them. Or she may not choose either and just stay single for a while until she can work out who she likes more. Either way, all three parties have a bit of maturing to do.
