![]() Barry stepped up this time and decided to pay the price for Flashpoint and Savitar himself rather than letting Jay or Wally get themselves trapped. At the very end, we learned that popping the Speed Force open to spring Jay from the Speed Force prison had resulted in a Speed Force assault on Central City as it sought a speedster to take Jay's place. Thus was Savitar finally defeated.Īnd that wasn't even the end of the episode! Although Savitar was defeated, the lengths Team Flash went to in order to put him down had an even greater cost than H.R.'s life. Luckily, Iris was there to save Barry's life, shooting Savitar in the back with a handgun and killing him, just before he disappeared into nothingness. Savitar wasn't even wholly unconscious from the smack and got up, preparing to go after his nemesis and kill him from behind. Just kidding! Because Barry isn't too bright and often fails to learn from his mistakes, he turned his back on Savitar after the speed punch. Because Barry is a super smart superhero who always takes necessary precautions and learns from his mistakes, he immediately made sure that Savitar was out cold, restrained him, and rushed him to the most secure cell in the pipeline so that he could not hurt anybody ever again. ![]() The Scarlet Speedster seriously considered killing Savitar for all the harm he'd done, but he ultimately refused to sink to Savitar's level and instead settled for socking him in the jaw with a speed punch. Then, we finally got our showdown of Savitar vs. Using his speed, he managed to rush at Savitar and force him out of his suit, taking the suit for his own. In revenge for messing up the splicer, Savitar prepared to murder Cisco, only to be stopped by Killer Frost's crisis of conscience as she stopped him from killing her former friend. Nevertheless, he wasn't done trying to destroy all that is good and whole on The Flash. The tides were turning against Savitar in a big way, as Team Flash had a new ally on the scene and his evil plan to send versions of himself throughout history failed. But for now, all that matters is that Savitar is pissed and he’s got a legitimate reason to be.Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News Contact me with news and offers from other Future brands Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors By submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over. Savitar scolds Barry for “playing God” by creating the Flashpoint timeline, and it’s unclear precisely how Flashpoint relates to the making of Savitar. That’s how Savitar exists on The Flash, a nightmare paradox serving as a living reminder of Barry Allen’s foolishness. The creation of Savitar is a feedback loop, timey wimey stuff that’s basically a chicken-and-the-egg scenario: To defeat Savitar, Barry creates time remnants, only for one of them to become Savitar. He adds: “I was an aberration.” ( Legends of Tomorrow fans know what those are.) “You all shunned me because I wasn’t the ‘true’ Barry Allen,” he tells, uh, Barry. All the time remnants will die, except for one, and this “leftover” Barry gets outcast for not being the “true” Barry. Four years into the future, Barry Allen will create time remnants to fight Savitar. In “Cause and Effect,” Savitar explains what happened, or rather, what’s going to happen. Even Barry Allen used a time remnant once when he needed help in his fight against Zoom.Īnd, Barry’s use of time remnants led to Savitar’s creation. Hunter Zolomon used a time remnant to fool Team Flash into thinking his false “Jay Garrick” identity was murdered by Zoom, while Eobard Thawne used multiple remnants in the Season 2 finale of Legends of Tomorrow. Because speedsters are preserved by the Speed Force, time remnants act as “ghosts” in the timeline and can be plucked out for whatever purposes their “primary” versions need them for. But, in short, time remnants are “leftover” versions of speedsters as a result of discarded timelines. To be perfectly honest, the concept of time remnants is still pretty confusing. It’s a dark narrative that explores the consequences of time travel few other science-fiction properties are able to explore, but just how exactly does it all work out? This Time Remnant Barry begrudges his discarded life, and loss of family and friends, for being the “forgotten” hero. This week on The Flash, the monster speedster Savitar revealed himself to be a time remnant of Barry Allen, created four years in the future. It’s funny that Iris West couldn’t explain Dragon Ball Z to Barry Allen, because her own show can be just as maddening.
