Even "I Monster" was done faithfuly but stretched out to fill an entire episode. You could argue so was "Sons of the Silent Age" which again probably needed something to pad the ep out, sadly robbing it of it's orignal meaning but then Murphy also did the same in followups to that story in comic form.
Surely you don't begrudge them coming up with original content and twists?

Agreed. The 4Kids show was heavily based on the comics, and as was said, a lot of lines were taken directly from the books. They made some creative decisions to not only make it different from the comics (which it should be, it's a cartoon) but also have it fit into its own mythos. Saying that the 4Kids series had been "loosely" based on a few issues of the comics is just...not correct.
