To answer your question: Emma does get to do Savior things, and Season 6 is going to specifically focus on The Savior mythos. As for villains, Emma does defeat Cruella by herself in Season 4, for example. Emma also increases using her magical powers, and what she can do with them, throughout seasons 4 and 5. Also, you should keep in mind, that while Emma is the central protaganist, she is still part of an ensamble show, so other characters get to do things as well, and that includes doing heroic things.

It's cool for every character to do something, but the main character should finish off at lease some of the main villains and actually save everyone with a name like the savior. So far she doesn’t seem like much of a savior. She's like a side character. The only thing she did up to season three was break the first curse. After that she hasn't really done any savior like things. In neverland when they were leaving and someone praised emma for being the leader I almost laughed. She wasn't even relevant to stopping peter pan. All she did was rally everyone. After that she was mostly asking questions and wondering what to do while someone else takes care of it. She had 0 skills to use in till late when they finally gave her magic to beat zalana, and than they take it away and made her useless again. I was so happy, I thought she was finally going to be the badass I thought she was but nope.

It seems she will slowly progress. Cruella, is she powerful? If it's just a weak villain anyone could beat it doesn’t count. The savior should be special and relevant. Now that the queen can use light magic, emma's pretty much a weaker dried up version of her.

I like that she will develop her powers, but over the course of two seasons? They're taking their sweet time building her into a real threat to evil. After nearly 60 episodes she should be a force of nature right now. For a main character they really gave her nothing. She should have some type of special skills in a show constantly threatened by evil. She's usually at the mercy of someone more powerful, but can't do anything about it. It seems like season 6 is when she's really going to be useful to the level a savior should.

I could watch if I knew if there’s going to be any more seasons after that. I'm currently wont finish if they're going to wait to the final season to make her important.
