I'm not fond of BW Team Rocket at all.
Are they actually competent? Yes. They're actually accomplishing things.
Are their losses less formulaic and childish? Very. No more blasting off agaaaaaaain*ding*
Have they lost all the personality that actually made them Team Rocket in the first place? Unfortunately.
Maybe they'll regain some of that old spark, but as of right now (watching the dub weekly) they are competent but completely boring.
And yes BW Jenny's haircut makes her look totally butch. Dunno why y'all were afraid to say it.
