Months ago I saw both Blade Runners for the first time. One thing I've thought is that Tyrell makes for a better corporate lord than Wallace. Wallace is just too distant in his intellectual talk, and as an antagonist he can't dominate the scene like Roy -no other character on either movie has Roy's presence. Tyrell doesn't do much in the movie's power plays, on them he's more of an assistant and an objective. He's an artisan, amazed by the beauty of his creations. Technology is his art, and he does art for art's sake. He doesn't care that his replicants went rogue, he says nothing about power and control, he just discusses technical details and shows how impressed he is with what his creations have achieved, even if that achievement includes rebellion.
The other replicants in the original, besides Roy, are overall mediocre.
