I think that version was the one that parents had the hardest time with because of the nature of it regardless of whether it was truer to form from the comics. So, with this version there had to be a "happier medium" to attempt to please everyone. While there is no way to actually please everyone, this will still reach a wider fanbase.

I know cartoon logic was involved, but still... it seems apparent that Baxter will be mutated at some point and that could have been a good window. Alas, one mutation per day though...
