Arthur also got his redemption after death just like Cora, even if he didn't explicitly go to the Better Place he is going to dethrone Cruella (one of the most evil female characters in the show who hasn't reformed even if she didn't go to hell) and fix the underworld.

Gold got his redemption too, though it took a while for it to be final. Also although Cora was almost as evil as Pan, she had a more tragic backstory than him, though I wasn't expecting her redemption, or her to go to Olympus. Personally I was satisfied when Pan went to hell, no one deserved that more than him. (Of all the characters to be damned Auntie Em had it coming the least IMO that was the darkest part of the show along with Gepetto's parents being turned into puppets (assuming they're conscious for it). I'd say Stanum's transformation into the Tin Man too, but his cameo in Heart of Gold implies he's dead)

There are men and women on both sides, there are male and female villains who reformed, and male and female villains who didn't.
