Maybe Regina indeed becomes the Savior instead of Emma. She is the one who broke the second curse, she is the one who defeated Zelena with her light magic, and she ruins her happy ending for someone she barely even knows.

Maybe people will see Regina more as the Savior instead of Emma (who has been saying she's the Savior a little bit too much lately). And seeing as the theme is: "What makes a hero and what makes a villain?" is here...

Emma could learn more about the backstories of Maleficent, Cruella and Ursula and understand them and thus explore this gray area. Because we know all the backstories of the other villains but Emma knew none of them (except a tiny bit of Ingrid's) and all the villains do have something that caused them for being this way (except Pan, he was just a lunatic). Regina is a perfect example that you don't have to be a villain forever. Emma may want to learn more about the QoD and people may see her become "evil" while Regina will be seen as a hero.
