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. Jokes aside, the OP didn't seem to like the direction it was going. XD

There's a valid point in saying that Emma should change. However, she tends to not be the one to save the day, mostly in late 4b and have some interesting things in 5a.

To answer the questions,

1. Murder, attempt to murder, and prevent murder. Emma is the Savior. She doesn;t have to earn the title.

2. Emma played a central role in seasons 1 to 3. If you look closely you'll see. If you don't think that's close enough, it doesn't get much better. Emma defeats Cora, but Snow ends her. Regina defeats Pan, Rumple kills him. Emma ends 3b off, while Regina had the major focus. It's also known that they alternate between Emma or Regina focus dependent on the season half.

3. In terms of magic, she gets a large upgrade. Well, Regina's more of a mid-tier witch anyhow. I'll just say that Regina's skills aren't on full display ever, but she gets some nice fight scenes.

I'd still watch since you've already invested time into it. It's not that bad, especially taken at face value.

Emma did play a part in 1-3, but not the a degree of what I would expect from her.

After season 1 I had visions of her vanquishing evil and knocking out demon armies lmao. When I found out how weak she was it was really disappointing.

At the evil queens throughout the first and second season, She couldn't combat cora or save snows nanny from her, completely outmatched, she was at the mercy of peter pans tree like a helpless dog, no epic fight with zalana, doesn’t even break the second curse. It was like they was phasing her out as the savior and the main protagonist. Thats when I started wondering will she ever become the kickass white mage that I thought she would be.
