Here's a thought... (Gaming)

Maybe with Daisy, it wasn't "power corrupts" but that "power assists the corrupt" or "the corrupt seek power."

I mean, duh, bad person acts badly, but why do we seem to assume Daisy is good and that she only turns bad when she gets power (which I think was kind of Rashashingo's point)?

In Daisy's case my take is that the desire for revenge corrupts.

The insistence that the story has a simple "power corrupts" theme trips us up, like with that writer Ragashingo linked to who complained that power shouldn't corrupt before power is acquired. Right, but bloodless revolutions are noteworthy only because of their bloodlessness.

Why have Americans and the British remained so chummy (other than a shared heritage)? It doesn't hurt that the Atlantic Ocean made it difficult for American forces to destroy Windsor Castle. (Let it be said they very likely couldn't have regardless, but you get my point.)
