Cyrus gets points for being a subtle criticism of cult worship. Throughout the game, the grunts are shown to be quite goofy and don't understand Cyrus at all, but still follow him out of his desire for a new world. In the end Cyrus reveals he only ever cared about himself and wanted the new world for himself only. Teams Galactic were even terrorists and destroyed places with bombs for him too.
Team Plasma wasted a great, GREAT concept with pokemon liberation. One town after Ghetsis's speech we see plasma grunts kicking munnas, illusion Ghetsis showing how cruel he is to grunts who fail him, and grunts stealing pokemon. Pokemon liberation is dumpstered early for Team Rocket 2.0, only N is actually fighting for it but it's hard to take him seriously when the team clearly just wants liberation for evil reasons. Team Plasma was improved in BW2.
