I’ve also long wondered what Emma is supposed to be the savior of anymore. What is her larger narrative purpose now?
She doesn’t really have one. I mean they can throw around her Savior status all they want but she honestly hasn’t done a lot of saving lately. And now it seems like there are other “Emma’s” even though, again, I don’t get how since Emma’s Saviorhood is very contingent of certain events, situations ect.
Let’s take it all into account shall we…
Season 1: Emma Saved The Day
Season 2: Snow White killed Cora, Emma helped Regina stop the Diamond.
Season 3A: Regina defeated Pan/Got them out of Neverland, Rumplestilskin sacrificed his life and died a hero by killing Peter Pan.
Season 3B: Regina defeated Zelena.
Season 4A: Anna delivered her mother’s letter to Ingrid, which led to Ingrid sacrificing her life to undo her own curse.
Season 4B: Henry undid all of Isaac’s works, Emma sacrificed herself to save Storybrooke from the Dark One Curse.
Season 5A: Regina reminded Hook of what sort of man he really wanted to be which led to him sacrificing his life to undo his planned CharMillStilskins Family Road Trip to Hell.
Season 5B: Zelena killed Hades.
Emma’s saved the day twice…..it’s really about time they stop placing so much pressure on the woman to bring back everyone’s happy ending when that Savior Case probably was really only until she broke the Dark Curse. Everyone has been doing their part, it’s been a team effort since Season 2 on this show.
