Finally, The Flash answered the call for who’s Savitar? And as many fans expected he was Barry Allen from the future. Now another debate has started, is this reveal a good thing or bad thing for the show’s future? Now let us analyse what it exactly means for the show’s future. How will Evil Future Barry impact the show?
Andrew Kreisberg, executive producer of The Flash in an interview said the following about Savitar’s reveal:
“It’s a real ‘There but for the grace of God go I.’ 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. 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.”
So, it brings us to another junction. Barry looks for the good in people. He has pure intentions. Now, when it comes to himself, can he believe in redeeming himself? Or, will he hate himself forever?
Regarding the last few episodes Kreisberg added:
“What’s so amazing about these last few episodes, especially when you think about it in terms of ‘Once and Future Flash,’ is Grant made the future Flash a very distinct character. He does the same with Savitar, especially in scenes where he has to act with himself. If everything Grant has done up until now, including the musical, hasn’t blown you away with his talent, I think when you see scenes of him and Savitar together, you’re really going to be blown away because he’s found a whole new speed for him.”
So what do you think? Where will the show go from here? Will Barry save Iris or will his future version kill the love of his life? Can he find a way to erase himself becoming Savitar or as I like to say it Evil Future Barry? Let us know your theories in the comments.
