Is baby Neal a Saviour too, being born of true love? If that is the only parameter then surely any child of a True Love marriage would be a Saviour?
Short answer: no. A and E and even Jane have said that not all babies born of TL are Saviors or even magical. Emma is the Savior because of a nifty little equation:
Snowing Ultimate True Love Put On The Dark Curse + Dark Curse Cast = Emma Swan, Savior
If any one of those things is taken away, Emma essentially changes. So maybe Aladdin was born of True Love but because there was no curse, his Saviorhood is less than instead of equal to Emma’s. OR maybe Aladdin gained magic and broke a Curse and is proclaimed a Savior but because he was not born of True Love, his Saviorhood is less than Emma’s.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I’m now starting to wonder if in the winter finale Regina will end up wishing that she had never cast the dark curse, which would allow for them to explore a reality in which Emma Swan never got to meet her parents etc it would be interesting to explore a world where a lot of what we have seen hadn’t actually happened and how things would have played out. I guess it sounds like more of a 2-hour finale type adventure in the vein of the past few seasons. I was just thinking that if the lamp and genie come into play, something like this could happen.
There would be one glaring problem with scenario. One of the laws of magic that the genies had to follow was that they couldn’t change the past. Now granted, I know Adam and Eddy aren’t known for consistency, but thought this was still important to point out.
Ah, yes. That is a very good point!

So what if…and this is a long shot! What if Emma learns that the only way for the Savior to have a happy ending and avoid her destined death is for her to cast the Savior title onto someone else. And maybe the second half of the season could probably be the repercussions of Emma throwing away her role as a Savior and much like Regina will have to learn and fully accept her dark side, Emma’s going to have to fully accept her role as the Savior and find a way to earn back her title, this time by her own choice and will and not because someone forced it on her.

That’s a pretty interesting idea and it has its roots in Savior mythology. Henry told Emma in S1 that the hero always doubts at first but this extends beyond that, to wishing the task would literally be given to anyone else because the burden and what is to come is too heavy to bear. Here in the western world, the word “Savior” comes equipped with one Savior in particular, Jesus, and it would be pretty impossible for two American screenwriters to escape the legacy of Christianity since the Bible/New Testament informs, uh, a lot. This exact same crisis follows that particular Savior until he must accept his own destiny.
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done”
Luke 22:42
“Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Mark 14:36
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Matthew 26:39 (in Matthew, Jesus actually goes and prays 3x, each time asking the same thing)
