“Yo Allen, you’re going to turn evil and twisted and the only way for that to happen is for me/you to kill Iris.” Also, does no one else find it suspicious that future Barry had no idea who Savitar was? Of course he does, because it’s him! There is a precedent in the comics that a post-Flashpoint Barry came back in time to murder his way into making things right. You’re either laughing at me right now or you jumped up and said, “Dude, I thought the exact same thing!” Hear me out real quick before you exit from the browser. Sticking with the “Barry has screwed time up so much at this point” theory, my guess that the man in the armor is actually… Barry Allen. However, my thought is something a bit different. He hates that Barry stole Iris from him and if he can’t have her, no one can. The thought behind Eddie is simple – Barry has screwed with time so much that Eddie is probably alive again and full of bitter. At least that’s what a friend of mine thinks. However, that leaves us a chance that Eddie is in the armor. That should’ve happened but alas, it didn’t. Remember last year when I confidently declared Eddie Thawne as Zoom? Yeah, I do too. This year with Savitar, I think they learned from last year’s kinda let down and are going for the gusto. This year feels different with the reveal Wells as Thawne was pretty heavily teased in season 1 and imposter Garrick/Zoloman as Zoom seemed forced. If you’re like me, you’re chomping at the bit to see tonight’s Flash so we finally get a look at who is in the Savitar armor. Okay, on to the real business of the day. I think this deserves a surprise appearance from The Penalty Box Band! Savitar lost all that.Hey, I’m back everyone! After dealing with my yearly encounter with the plague, I’m finally feeling better today. “Barry sees in Savitar that he could’ve gone down that path, too, but he had Iris, Joe, Cisco, Caitlin, his father, he had the memory of his mother - he had all of these things that helped mold him into the hero that he is. Kreisberg also mentions that this Future Barry is a Barry Allen who has lost everyone that grounded his humanity. Kreisberg argues that because Savitar is Barry, it’s a different story even though the villain is literally also the hero. Previously, both Eddie Thawne and Hunter Zolomon were mirror reflections of Barry, in the sense that something awful happened to them and instead of pursuing a noble path - as Barry did - they went to the “dark side,” so to speak. It’s a really interesting new dynamic that’s certainly very different from his relationship with Wells-Thawne in Season 1 and Zoom in Season 2.” “It creates an interesting paradigm because Savitar has probably done as much, if not more, to hurt them as any villain they’ve ever come up against, and yet Barry has a measure of sympathy for him. Kreisberg (confusingly) quotes the 16th-century proverb, “There but for the grace of God go I,” referencing how Barry’s destiny to become Savitar is nothing but the work of fate. So to have our lead actor be both the hero and the villain isn’t something we’ve done before, so that was exciting for us as storytellers.” “We’re not only competing with all the stuff that we’ve done on Flash, but we’re always competing with everything we’ve done on all the other shows. “The idea that the darkest villain we could come up with was actually a very damaged version of our hero was interesting and fresh to us,” Kreisberg told Entertainment Weekly. Barry” story was something different from previous villains like Zoom and the Reverse-Flash. And in a new interview, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says a “Barry vs. The Flash has raced against enemy speedsters before, but he’s never gone up against himself. Savitar has been unmasked! This week on The Flash, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) discovered just who was the new monster speedster wreaking havoc in Central City - and it’s none other than ( spoilers!) Barry Allen himself, from a future timeline.
