How many times can they recycle the "Can Regina be the savior" plot line and why do they forget (or think we forget) that it was a major plot point in previous arcs?

In 3B Regina was the one to break the curse and defeat Zelena, ultimately acting as the savior while Emma was occupied by a pirate.

In 4B Regina was the savior in the finale. Her blood was the key to restore everything.

In 5A there was the dropped plot point that Regina was supposed to turn into the main protector of the town (as if she wasn't already?) while Emma went through her dark phase.

and now, in 5B Regina once again act as the savior of the souls in the underworld.

How many times will we go through the "can she be the savior?" "can she trust herself enough?" "will she be evil again?" Plots before the series ends?
