Well I don’t think that’s very fair. You could say that about any character dying on this show now then. But they have proven that dead can in fact be dead when they want it to be. Example, Robin Hood. They obliterated him. With Emma, they could make something up like Saviors can’t be brought back once they have served their purpose or something. If you are at the point of thinking that if Emma died, then so what…well I’m not sure why you still enjoy watching the show. That would certainly ruin it for me.
Or was Hades lying….muahahah.
Sorry.
That’s kind of my point though, they’ve shattered dead is dead forever on this show unless the writers absolutely want someone to stay dead for other story reasons. And Emma is still someone they like writing, someone they enjoy playing with, and she’s still the life blood of this show. Death doesn’t hold any sort of sway on this show anymore because unless the writers are bored there is a permanent way to bring them back now.
I do think that she COULD die, in a sacrificial saviorish fashion, but saviors in media are also more often than not resurrected.
She could absolutely but like you allude to–there’s probable and possible. It’s possible Emma will die…but it’s not very probable. And I would say there is even a greater chance of her dying if they hadn’t just done her katabasis. But they did it–for an entire season, first as a metaphor and then literally.
