Opinion On The New Easter Update?

I personally find Twisted Bassie much more fun to encounter, as opposed to last year. The thorns, slowness, and additonal attention after first sighting threw me for a loop the first few times and made gameplay more fun.
Twisted Cocoa's new mechanic, while infuriating, is also actually quite refreshing, considering that the biggest threat most other (non-seasonal) Twisteds pose is just them being faster than the player.
What are your thoughts?
