How can Barry not know in 2024 but figure it out in 2017. Everything was set up the same. In 2024 she was in league and knew who it was. In 2017 their partnership was just formed. So if Barry couldn't figure it out then how in the hell does he travel back and just figure it out. It just comes to him 😂😂
so my idea was harry ...
- fits with the fake wells line since harry always had some disrespect for hr ...
- fits with the fact that jesse´s father was good except for in earth-3 in the comics just like earth-1 wells and hr are good but harry is evil if he really does become savitar
- makes a little sence since he and jesse are not in the 2024 sceanes ... if something happened to jesse as a result of barry´s actions he could theoretically want to take the most important person from barry´s life as revenge
- could explain why it was so shocking for wally ... seeing his father-in-law behind the mask of a killer ... also explains the brutality svitar had with wally ... he could blame him for not saving jesse
- harry is a tech guy ... meaning he has the knowledge to build the suit
there is a problem throught ... 2024 cisco did mention all the bad things that happened to wally but didn´t mention jesse dying ...
possible explanation - it only happens in 2056 ... explaining 2056 barry´s guilty massage that appeared on legends
furthermore I believe the traitor is not catlyn but cisco ... savitar´s suit looks like the future barry´s suit from the new 52 comics and that barry also had a robotic hand ... like cisco has ... this could mean nothing since it´s a very weak lead but it could be a significant easter egg
let me know your toughts
I was JUST fixing to post this.
An underlining theme this whole season is about time and Barry changing it to suit him. My best guess is Barry realizes savitar is himself something that Barry couldn't figure out before because he was to obsessed with traveling in time to fix it and not succeeding.
That and the entire season has preached consequence about changing time. I guess it could be a version of Barry that at some point realizes the consequences of his own meddling and decides to try and set it right. Who knows.
^ but does that fit in with how Caitlin reacted to the reveal and was so quick to follow who it is...?

Like 2024 Cisco? It can't be because he's trapped in the speed force at that time.
I bet savitar is 2024 Barry Allen.
It doesn't really make sense to be 2024 Barry Allen though. We already saw him. He is a broken man after what happened with Savitar killing Iris. Why would he turn into Savitar and go and kill Iris himself, thereby breaking himself even further?
2024 Barry didn't seem like he was anything but a hero, albeit a broken one. He also didn't know who Savitar was.
My guess is that Wally is in that catatonic state, not just because his spine was shattered, but because he's in a state of extreme shock because he saw who Savitar was and the reveal was so horrifying to him.
The way killer frost said you don't have hate in your eyes so your past flash or however she worded it made me think Barry was rogue and already a villainous person and his acting just screamed untrustworthy
Future Barry said that Iris was the love of his life. So he goes back and kills her so that his own past is affected, leaving him a broken man so that he has to experience it himself? Is he some kind of masochist?
And why would future Barry help out present Barry to stop Mirror Master and Top and help to reform Team Flash only to go off again to kill Iris, if he hasn't done so already?
If Killer Frost said that future Barry had hate in his eyes, it might be to do with Barry's feeling towards her because of her helping Savitar, or it might be hate towards Savitar himself.
Not sure how, or what or why or anything but I feel like Savitar has some tangential connection to Cobalt Blue...
Savitar's costume and blue energy just scream Cobalt Blue to me:
![]()
![]()
![]()
The other connection is Savitar gaining his power through the Philosopher's stone:
![]()
Cobalt Blue gains his powers through the use of an ancient talisman/gemstone called "blue fire" in a very similar way.
Abra Kadabra calls Savitar one of Flash's greatest villains (at the end of the day the show always respect the comics, and to create a whole new villain and have him be one of Barry's "greatest enemies" doesn't seem like something they'd do).
Cobalt Blue for sure qualifies as one of Barry's biggest villains, particularly as the founder of the Thawne dynasty and being Barry's twin.
Again, no clue exactly how Savitar and Cobalt Blue would be connected, or the details or character backgrounds that would be changed for the show, but I'm putting my money down that they're related some how.
