How Dumb Do You Like Your Casey Jones? - Page 2

I have to defend 2k3 Casey for a minute here, I think he under went some good character development over the course of the series. He becomes a better character in season four, and as much as people hate on back to the sewers, I really like his development in that season. His feelings for April through out the series did alot for him.

I like the '87 series version for the humor related to his over the top an ger of ANY crime. I also wish he fleshed out more and we got to see his face at least once.I probably would want current and future version the Elias Koteas works best. I don't want Casey to be apart of the"family" but not as few as five appearances either.

I find that '87 Casey is a lot like Raphael outside of the '87 series in terms of attitude, which is why those turtles/April didn't get along with him that well. I much rather have a dumb Casey than a hothead, unless if Raphael is just as angst that he can complement a tempered Casey. But I'd wait until we see a good chunk of Season 1 to get a good feel of this show to see what kind of Casey I'd prefer, and I'm leaning towards the IDW-stlyed Casey.

I would like hear an assessment on what sets Casey Jones of IDW apart from the rest. He has a deceased mother opposed to father and is a few years younger. That seems to be it so far. I have not really evaluated him yet.

Well he's a college athlete on scholarship, which is a lot more than we've seen any other Casey accomplish.

He still struggles with school. I hope to see him a little be a little brighter. I just don't know if its time enough to evaluate IDW's ersion yet.

Elias Koteas' character had a brief NHL career before injury ended it. I thine
that makes the movies version the most accomplished. A couple of versions have accomplished a lot of breaking things but not much else.

*Xav* · 04-26-2012, 02:51 PM

I don't think movie Casey ever said he was in the NHL. He just said he played professionally, and he never said which sport.

*Mr.Turtle* · 05-01-2012, 12:53 PM

all I kno is that he shud be no smarter than raph...tho that's not something I'm worried abt right now...

The issue is, just how dumb should he be in the Nick show?

I say this as a die-hard OT fan.....
He was Way to dumb in the 80's cartoon!!!! The 4Kids Casey was a major Improvement....Maybe somewhere between 4Kids and first film?

I think the OT Casey Jones with the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry thing was perfect. But out of the Hockey Mask I think the 1990 movie Elias Koteas is the perfect Casey not dumb but not the strongest vocabulary I didn't get the Claustrophobic joke till I watched the movie again in my twenties "You want a fist in the mouth? I never even looked at another guy before."

lol You can't have jokes like that in kids movies anymore. But like in all the BatMan movies other then Buttman and Rubbin by Joel Schumacher Batman always made his voice gravelly to hide his identity , so the idea that Casey is doing a Clint voice to hide his is great, I think Casey Jones from the fan film was a very good blend of the Movie and OT Casey as well and something along the lines of that portrayal would be ideal to me for the new cartoon.

*ssjup81* · 06-03-2012, 12:04 AM

Not sure about the 2k3 Casey, but if given a choice between the mediums I have been exposed to, I'd go with a mix between insane Casey (which I loved) from the OT and street smart, cool Casey from movie 1. For me, that would be perfect.

*zkarlette* · 06-03-2012, 12:35 AM

I'll have to say I really liked 4 kids Casey .

Fugitoid Jones · 06-03-2012, 02:56 AM

I was going to say that I want Casey to be as smart as the first movie Casey/first couple of Mirage appearances, but everybody here has done that already, so I'll go with a different choice:

I want him to be as smart as the Casey from Turtle Tunes.

I don’t think Casey was that dumb in the 2k3 series, but compare him to the 1990 film version, then yes, he was.

The film version beats him by a landslide. As for the new series: Casey should be classified as a meathead to the public eye, but really, just act that way on purpose to avoid socialization. Maybe the only people he’ll talk to is his family or friends (especially if those friends are the turtles or April).
