Casey Jones the worst character?

It's not shoddy writing at all if you don't show something all of the time. It's about what's important to the story as it's being told.

The world never blew up in 2K3 TMNT though. We never even knew if April's parents were still alive or not, but I'm sure even 2K3 would have remembered to have April worry about her sister.

I think everyone's making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. Fact of the matter was, Casey's family is dead and it's like he doesn't even care. He said he wanted to become a vigilante so he could protect his sister... now she and everyone else he wanted to protect are dead but who cares right? Yes, I know there was little he could do but he was there during the battle with the Triceratons, there's still that moment of 'if only I was stronger' or 'if only I did this or that differently' that he would blame himself for. All avoided if he just wanted to fight crime because he feels somebody has to, or at least to protect April. If you're not gonna show a character, don't make them important to the character.

Again, it's like the Turtles once off handedly said 'oh yeah, this guy named Splinter taught us martial arts' and we never ever see him in the entire series, not even flashbacks or anything. Just a random offhanded line. Why bother?

It's a f*cking kids show. You aren't gonna get IDW-tier writing out of it.

Just enjoy the show for what it is.

ATLA/Korra
Motorcity

Adventure Time is a kids show? I figured it was aimed at teens given the humor.

That's kind of the beauty of a well constructed cartoon, it has wide appeal, and isn't constrained by any one demographic.

Exactly. Nick TMNT has backed itself into a wall. I still rank season 1 with most of those shows you listed.

So why are you complaining about me criticizing the show

Because you're expecting things from it that are either not going to happen or are just plain stupid (Casey's sister).

So I'm not allowed to criticize it or call it when it makes stupid decisions, then whats the point of a forum then its not like anyone here has a say when it comes to this show we are just here to comment and criticize the stuff we are watching also me wanting to see Casey's sister the person who pretty much motivated Casey to become a vigilante is stupid but an episode where 2 expies of 60s Batman and Robin interact with the turtles and Casey isn't. Those are some great priorities right there.

I'm not saying you can't criticize it. But I can also criticize your opinions.

Okay but you agree with most of my opinions thats the weird part, you know the writing in this show is awful yet you give me crap for pointing it out so I'm kinda confused.

The Nick show is firing on all cylinders. Nobody is going to remember the complaining random people do about it after it ends.

[BubblyShell22]

Greg, you also forgot that he also wanted to protect his dad and not just his little sister. But even so, it's just not important right now. Maybe they'll be shown next season in a flashback or something. For now, the writers don't think it's important so just let it be.

Please the writers are the type of people that use the Poptarts instruction to understand to concept of taking the poptart out of the box

[BubblyShell22]

Whatever. I'm not arguing about this anymore. All I know is I don't give a flying f*ck about Casey's dad or little sister as it's not important.

[TMNTInsighter]

I have wondered a long time why we haven't seen Casey's family in this series. I mean let's get real, in his first main episode he stated that they're perhaps the main reason why he's out being a vigilante and wanted to fight mutants and crime in the first place! It's kind of representative of Casey as a whole this series because for some reason the showrunners just aren't interested in delving behind the mask and exploring Casey's character. They've had quite a while but, whether by causation or studio and/or storyline interference, they just don't seem to be interested in doing what it takes to make Casey interesting and have his character shine. And if they're not interested in him, why should we be?

Yeah... people are always going to remember the stupid plot amnesia just like we always remember the animation errors of the old toon.

Aesop Amnesia, dropped plots, forgotten characters, horrible writing, I can see this series as a punching bad for an Internet reviewer of the next generation

There is no plot amnesia though.

It's kind of unfair if we say something like this as fact when the show is still in production.
