CALLED IT! (Future Barry)
I hope it's nothing like that because that wouldn't make any sense. Hopefully the writers have a good explanation.This is probably a Flash from way into the future, well after 2024. The paradox will be that Iris dying breaks Barry so much in the long run that he becomes evil, and enjoys being evil, so goes back in time to make sure that Iris dies so he can become evil. ...or something like that.
Doesn't make the 20 minutes they wasted on the Joe-Cecile nonsense or Julian and Cisco's hissy fits any more interesting though. They need to cut the cast in half. Just let Barry and Cisco do this themselves and write in a fourth Wells to fill in any character gaps they have left. Nobody wants to waste more time on these repetitive contrived romances anymore.
Power was out for about a hour and a half including when the show was on tonight. Any way to watch the episode online?
The reveal was fine. It's whether they can actually have it make sense when it's explained - that's the problem.

it was explained in the comic's that the meta human speedster don't age the same way normal humans do if they reach their true potential powers or close to it.
The problem with that is Savitar doesn't look much older than present day Barry.
Future Barry said he created time remnants that all were defeated trying to stop Savitar, could one of them have ended up becoming Savitar? They did include the time remnant line in the little flashback montage of Barry piecing things together. Could explain the injuries present on Savitar's face, and why he's so mad at Flash, as well as why future Barry from the episode prior to this wasn't evil.
Makes sense. I don't think 2024Barry is supposed to be Savitar. This is some time remnant or alternate future Barry.
Yes, unless 2024 Barry later causes an event that creates Savitar, since Savitar's own history is the present that 2017 Barry is living. That means therefore that if he were an alternate future Barry, say from the time of Flashpoint or another point in the past, he would have experienced his life differently than the events we've seen Barry experience during this season. It couldn't be all exactly the same.
So Savitar must somehow be an offshoot of current Barry's timeline, and not an offshoot of one from either last season or earlier this season (eg Flashpoint).
And if he is, then it wouldn't make sense, because how could he have lived a different life but also experienced 2017 Barry's life as well?
Perhaps Savitar's memories change every time Barry alters the timeline, and it continues like that until Barry reaches the point of Savitar's creation?

I think that's the direction they're taking based off next week's promo. I think Cisco says something like trying to stop Barry from making memories so that Savitar won't have them, and they can catch him by surprise.
I doubt it'll work, but they might toy with that idea.
But maybe they only need a momentary advantage.
Of course, if they just had Martian Manhunter, he could pretend to be Iris and could trick Savitar that way.
if they were welling to go off world to get him why not just go to Earth 38 for Martian Manhunter or Supergirlwait, did they kill that shapeshifting meta? or could they just get an alt earth vers of him?
It's gonna be all the Flashes including Accelerated Man taking on Savitar.
