History Characters / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014

* InterspeciesRomance: He has a crush on April O'Neil. However, it is not acknowledged by April. He tells his brothers that he has dibs on April after they meet her and he refers to her as his girlfriend when he realizes that she is the hogosha. He is always trying to flirt with her and be romantic, though her safety is his biggest concern when they are in danger.

* RedHerring: It was initially believed that he was going to be this film's incarnation of the Shredder. That said, the licensed game does indeed give him the identity, which lends credence to the idea that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen it was going to be true at one point]].

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Even ignoring the fact that Shredder is played by different actors in both films, he looks younger, shorter, and has little to no scars on his face in ''Out of the Shadows''.

** Somewhat [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]], she named the Turtles, fed them pizza, marked them with their signature colors and then freed them and left them near a sewer grate, thus being directly responsible for their names, their love for pizza and them living in the sewers. On top of that, it is her, who has a direct connection with the Shredder, not the Turtles, as Eric Sacks worked with her father and killed him.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: Where most versions of April only meet the Turtles years after they were exposed to mutagen, here the turtles are explicitly referred to by April as her childhood pets pre-mutation, and she later describes them as family; Splinter in turn notes that he was inspired to be a father to the turtles from watching the way April's father cared for her.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: His overall appearance is very different from his usual appearance. The adult Casey generally has [[BarbarianLongHair long hair]], and a clean shaven face, or sometimes sports a PermaStubble (some younger incarnations do have short hair, though). Here he has a buzzcut and a goatee. And aside from his hockey stick in one scene, he doesn't carry any other sports equipments that he can use as ImprovisedWeapon and in fact, he uses a pipe shaped like a hockey stick as an improvised hockey stick in his final showdown against Bebop and Rocksteady.

* CoolMask: Sports his trademark goalie's mask.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The film's tagline is: "The Leader. The Brains. The Attitude. And Mikey."

** Does a little bit of backsliding in the sequel when he lets his fame get to his head, but he pulls through when it counts.

* OutOfFocus: He plays a considerably smaller role
for much of the second film.

* FakeUltimateHero: He gets the credit for taking down the Shredder at the end of the first movie.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is nowhere to be seen in the 2016 sequel, ''Out of the Shadows'', nor is ever mentioned in the movie.

* GutturalGrowler: He often growls when he speaks. As Michaelangelo jokes, "hey, look, he's doing his Batman voice!".

* GutturalGrowler: He has a low, raspy voice in both movies, despite the change in actors.

* EvilIsHammy: Krang's voice is rather deep and [[GutturalGrowler more growly]] than his other incarnations, but he retains his normal level of hamminess.

'''Splinter:''' That's right. ''[points at April]'' And this ''is'' the hogosha.

* BigLittleBrother: Standing at a whopping 6'8", Donatello is far taller than his two older brother. It's also worth noting that this is not only the tallest version of Donatello; this is also the tallest turtle in the entire franchise.
