I personally don't have a problem with Emma not having gone full evil - that wouldn't have been believable to me. But I think the writers having her fake it instead of actively resisting when interacting with others the whole time created a negative "expectations vs. reality" situation for some fans.

I do have gripes about the (non)wrap ups for the recurring characters though. They semi-tried with the rewrite of Arthur and Meridas endings but they kinda messed up with structuring the midseason finale in the first place. So I guess the only way this could have been remedied is if season 5 hadn't been split into two. Would've been better for exploring The Darkness origins as well. I was very glad that Emma didn't go full evil since it wouldn't have made sense for her character, but I think that the "defy expectations" thing they did with the promotion and how the season turned out was a good move.
