Saying that the 4Kids series had been "loosely" based on a few issues of the comics is just...not correct.

I think you're mistaking Andrew a bit. A huge part of the comic is it's tone and the 4Kids toon never came close to it even on it's "darkest" episode. All the comic adaptation episodes turned out to be pretty watered down versions of a story that was otherwise a lot grittier and more flushed out. I mean obviously it's a kids series and there can't be decapitations and impalings but it more pulled small story elements. CAW for example couldn't have been a more watered down version of the actual story and honestly there's no reason they couldn't have done it proper. The turtles never really got through the same character growth they did in the comic in large part due to them removing a lot of the major challenges they faced.
