I have nothing against Emma but she is without a doubt is overrated. Only person she has defeated is Cruella. She doesn't have more raw power then any of the other characters. Cora tried to take Emma's heart but then sent her flying back with her light magic(Didn't hurt Cora just sent her fling back) but the same could be said about regina when Cora put a restricting spell on her and she overpower it and sent Cora flying the Looking glass. In both instances both users just started magic. Not to mention we have seen Cora break down Emma's protection spell herself. So Emma's raw power isn't that amazing as people claim.

Even if we look at her during the frozen arc her light blast while powerful could knock people back but couldn't actually hurt anyone. She light blasted Henry and her got up okay, she light blasted Regina and Regina got back up okay, She light blasted Ingrid who got right back up. She used her light to burn Zeleena but even then she barely hurt Zeleena. Her light magic isn't as powerful as people love to claim. Nor is she the only one who possesses Light magic. Regina's light magic is also powerful from what Glinda said. Glinda said only the strongest of light magic can hurt Zeleena and it was Regina not Emma who knocked Zeleena flying back.

Also if we are talking about Raw power Elsa already proved her raw power is superior to Emma's light magic when Emma couldn't destroy Elsa's Snow monster but instead made it mad. Who comes in though later and with 1 fire ball totally destroys Elsa's snow monster? Regina does.

Emma is cool and all but nothing suggest she is the most powerful character in the series or that she could defeat people like Regina, Ingrid, Elsa or Maleficent.
