So obviously season 1 we had Reverse-Flash and season 2 we've had Zoom. It already looks like we have a speedster as the main antagonist each season but do people want that or think it will happen. Despite all of Arrow's criticisms it's villains have at least been made more powerful even if they aren't shown or written well. Season 1 and 2 we had Merlyn and Deathstroke who were relatively normal and then season 3 gave us Ra's who has access to immortality whilst season 4 we have Darhk who is both immortal? and magic. Despite all remaining mostly on financial might and their own skill sets at least it hasn't been the same thing each time. If the Flash keeps using speedsters it'll get old quick especially when he has a large Rogues gallery.
If they do keep on using speedsters I'm wondering how they're going to go about it and who they'll use. Obviously with Trajectory being used as a villain it's clear that we may see other heroes such as Max Mercury and Jesse Quick. There's Flash's well known villains such as Johnny Quick and Rival and also Cobalt Blue who was rumoured to be Eddie. There's also lesser known speedsters such as Savitar, Hot Pursuit and Dervish as well as Inertia. Now some villains I don't see them using. I don't think they'll do Professor Zoom due to the name and the fact Eobard has been used whilst also Cobalt Blue is a no go due to a lack of involvement from Rick Cosnett and due to how much more complicated Barry's back story will become. I also don't see Inertia being used because of the be cussing of Bart who I don't see being introduced till the end whilst I don't think they'll bother with another other Earth villain with Johnny Quick. This leaves the lesser known speedsters but whether they can create a whole season worth of story is another thing. Although I wouldn't mind the Professor Zoom storyline from the New 52 where he gathers all the speed force users from history to help destroy the Flash. But if they can also bring in the lesser known speedsters for this it'd be great as the final season.
So thus gives me hope for other types of villains whether human, metahuman or alien or any other type. Whether they'll make the Rogues the primary villains for a season is hard to be predicted especially with two of the main Rogues over on LoT and I'm guessing Captain Boomerang is off limits due to Suicude Squad. Because we've barely seen them this year I'd love for next year to be the Blacksmith storyline where we see a sort of hierarchy of villains as seen slightly on Earth 2. She could be trying to rebuild her own Righes due to the disappearance of Captain Cold and Heat Wave and the hole left by Zoom going for there to be no other major villain to oppose her. Goldface could be her husband who slowly becomes disenfranchised with his wife and leaves to help the Flash whilst GoldenGlider also returns to stop someone else taking over the Rogues mantle and bringing with her the original Rogues that we've seen and those we haven't yet such as Top and Mirror Master.
