Thanks for this write-up. I was going mad thinking I was the only one (and at least I appear to be on reddit) that views the Emperor's last minute inclusion and story to be grossly inconsistent and a severe weakness to the story given how everything else seems to be written with a Daisy in mind or at least a Daisy-esque entity. I think they should have stayed with Daisy but perhaps re-written her with a bit more subtlety and subterfuge rather than an overtly corrupting influence, so basically Emperor-ize Daisy rather than introducing a character that, with his inclusion, has created way more inconsistencies rather than solved them.
