What do you think of Officer Casey Jones?

*Shark_Blade* · 06-03-2016, 08:33 AM

So what's your opinion on the new Casey by Stephen Amell?

I really prefer the short hair version. Very practical, doesn't get in the way.

He drives a car. It's a black Street & Racing Technology (aka SRT) model, a high-performance automobile.

He rollerblades like 2012 Nick Casey, and plays/battles with a hockey stick like all Caseys.

He wears his hockey mask very brief just like Elias Koteas (and even 2k7 Casey), gotta have that face time huh.

He wears his mask as protection for his face (a ninja star was stuck to his forehead). It's good to conceal his identity too so other police won't recognize him when doing vigilante stuff.

He dreams of becoming a police detective one day. I see this as a parallel to 2014 April - remember how she talked about "all those great reporters" to Vern after getting fired? Both of them dream big and to better themselves which I find inspiring.

He's the best Casey Jones so far imo. I'd rank them all as such:

1. 2016 Casey (well rounded and very likeable. Can handle himself against foot clans)
2. OT Casey (a complete nutcase that likes to bash every enemy insight which I find funny from what I saw on youtube

)
3. IDW Casey
4. TMNT 1 & 3 Casey
5. 2012 Casey (sometimes pervy and annoying, but he had good moments too)
6. 2007 Casey (boring imo)
7. 2003 Casey (annoying and obnoxious. Never like it whenever he appeared on screen).

Okay, I guess. He's the part I didn't like about it.

I spent most of the movie wondering "is Casey Jones suffering from serious brain damage", because if so that'd explain how moronic the character was as well as his actions. He was as unnecessary as any other character introduced here. I'd rather have watched the adventures of Dean Winters, bartender who gives Bebop and Rocksteady special cell phones.

Probably the most grounded and easy going Casey, but Armelle is not cut out for anything beyond tv acting

*Shark_Blade* · 06-03-2016, 08:48 AM

I've never seen Arrow so I might as well check it out now.

Don't bother with seasons 3 and 4, the show became garbage.

Check out The Flash instead

Armelle also wrestled last year at Summerslam...funny enough, everyone involved in the match currently is off the roster.

*chrisdude* · 06-03-2016, 10:30 AM

I don't know how I feel about his backstory, being a cop. Casey's original backstory is "Watches too much TV," so I guess this is better.

*ZariusTwo* · 06-03-2016, 10:32 AM

I did like that he mentions anger management issues...close a nod to the old 'toon version as you'll get here.

*Powder* · 06-03-2016, 07:25 PM

It's what I disliked the most about the film, easily.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-03-2016, 07:48 PM

I liked that Casey wasn't just some vigilante nutjob and had an actual job. Sure he was a cop on the low end of the totem pole but at least he had a goal in mind. The only thing is...how the heck was he able to even afford the car?? Cops don't get paid THAT well...especially low tier officers!

Leolead · 06-03-2016, 08:15 PM

Worst part of the movie.

*MikeandRaph87* · 06-03-2016, 08:26 PM

I remember during production reports stating Casey Jones managed a paint store. Where did that come from?

Casey being a cop threw me,but itvworks to fitvhim in the plot.

Aside from the Nicktoon having him a high school senior ,IDW depicts Casey as a struggling commuter college student. What jobs has Casey Jones had through the various depictions?

*Powder* · 06-03-2016, 08:28 PM

Bag boy at a supermarket, bouncer at a bar, possibly a mechanic. Not sure beyond that.

In Mirage he was an apartment manager with April. His mom owned the apartment before he did. She retired and moved to Florida.

Amell did fine. My issue is the way the character was written. Casey Jones has ALWAYS been a vigilante!! You can't take the law into your own hands if you ARE the law! Totally ruined his character in my opinion.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-06-2016, 11:28 AM

I have a question. Can anyone even say "Officer Casey Jones" with a straight face?

Yes, and I don't have a problem with Officer Casey Jones having an origin.

These Turtles need to do the facepalm once so we can gif that.

Amell played a decent character. But that character should not have been named Casey Jones. This just wasn't Casey.

Zak The Neutrino · 06-06-2016, 12:08 PM

This was the second worst part of the movie for me. I hated it.

He was too pretty boy and didn't seem to have a temper.
