I think the idea of there being multiple saviors actually makes sense. In the real world, haven’t there been many different saviors that were thought to have existed throughout history, depending upon various religious beliefs and whatnot? Jesus is the obvious one that comes to mind, but there’s also Muhammad, Buddha, Prometheus, Osiris, Thor, and countless others. So Emma not being the only savior ever doesn’t sound so far-fetched.
Well yes but like I said above those are universal constructs/ archetypes that don’t have a set in stone recipe like Emma did. That’s my issue. Of course there can be many heroes/savior figures but they’ve already given a certain formula for Emma’s own saviorhood.
ETA: I can see them explaining it with something like “every land has a different set of rules/formula in creating a savior” (except that Agrabah is in the EF, per Jane)
