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. Cruella has magic that allows her to control animals (including mythical animals like dragons). So in theory she is powerful. Their is a twist to Cruella that technically makes her less powerful, but I won't spoil that for you, as it is a good twist, and Emma does not know about it, so it doesn't make her less powerful to Emma. As far as the seasons go, Season 6 is not planned to be the last season, as far as we know. Now the ABC execs can decide to pull the plug, but I think they would give Adam and Eddy some warning first, and since we haven't heard anything, I'm guessing they are planning on going at least through Season 7. Oh screw it! I'm not going to quit damn it QQ God, this show has me pulling out my hair and biting my finger nails, but it's so stupid addicting. I'll give you that the show is addicting, as you can see above, even people who have next to nothing good to say about the show are still watching it. XD I don't know anymore.. Farerb up there may have changed my mind... I was going to binge season 4 tomorrow. He almost gave be a heart attack with the spoilers that I asked for. And I have to say that none of that sounds too good to watch.. That underworld thing is ridiculous, and Emma the savior goes fully evil.. Than hook becomes a second dark one.. wtf.. Zelena is Marian.. bull crap.. This show will give me a brain tumor if I keep watching.

I already watched all of the shows he recommended, any others?

I really need a show with a strong female hero character that's actually good at her job. Farerb's descriptions aren't exactly free of bias, so I would still suggest watching (and he does as well, I see). I'm not sure what genres you are interested in. If you only want things that are fantasy and sci-fi, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. If you are taking about any genre, the Shondaland shows all have strong female leads (so the shows would be Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder, and The Catch), although fair warning the characters are also morally grey, for the most part. If you don't want to watch Shondaland shows, or have already, Castle is a good show with a strong female lead (technically a co-lead with the titular Richard Castle), and she is very good at her job, so much so, she gets several promotions over the course of the show. Hope that helps.
