He's the villain. He's supposed to lie. He probably wasn't sure whether he would vanish or not, he was just bluffing and Barry bought it.
Honestly, that didn't really bother me too much.

I never noticed he watched his skin. That's...great.

Why doesn't Wally just make a time remnant of Iris without telling Barry?
I don't think you can time remnant non speedsters.

They are made by going back in time and meeting yourself, right? He could take Iris with him and make a duplicate of himself and her.

There are still a few things I cant get my head round.
I dont think these are spoilers but tagging just incase
I dont think these are spoilers but tagging just incase
1) are there multiple timelines in exist at once or is there only one timeline that gets changed? e.g. we are watching the second timeline, does OG barry timeline still exist or has that been erased?
2) Time remnants. I understand the premise however i don't understand which one is the remnant??!
Barry runs back in time one week to meet himself. If multiple timelines don't exist at once, then the barry that runs back should be the remnant as his timeline doesn't exist anymore as anything he does differently in the next week would create a new timeline.

That's still pretty messed up. It would still be his sister, she'd have all the same memories and feelings. She's the same person. It's possible she would be like zooms remnants and be ok with dying but I'm not sure Wally would be ok with that.
1. We are watching one timeline that keeps changing. Changes are almost instant but Barry retains his memories quite long.
2. The writers don't either. It is basically the past version who gets replaced by the future version who is the time remnant.

Amnesia tropes where the person doesn't know their name but somehow knows (or thinks) that they got kidnapped and someone did brain surgery on them.... what? I've never understood that.

Possibly. He kept harping on about time and how little consequences he faces when time travelling so I guess he could go and grab a remnant or something. Usual villain shit where they don't do anything until the end.
The other is that he promised Caitlin he'll unlock her not so Killer side.

No, see, it's because Savitar has a face she can trust. Even though she doesn't trust Barry.

The whole erasing Barry's memory rendering Savitar a mental blank too makes absolutely no sense. Assuming it was never revered, Barry would've kept on learning and would've eventually resumed his life. Future Flash wouldn't be a vegetable by then. Really if that's true, all they'd have to do is erase Barry's memory of Iris dying and the Savitar's goal would instantly shift to something else.
I did like the idea that Savitar just goes to a warehouse and kneels there doing nothing whenever he's not out eviling tho.
She only doesn't trust the right side.

They really just did a filler episode at the end of the season? lol
They've muddied it with "every choice you make creates a new dimension." Because Flashpoint still exists, and by logic there's a dimension where Zoom beat Barry, which means the multiverse should've been destroyed.
I don't have the idea that is the case. Small changes don't seem to create other universes. Flashpoint overwrites the show universe. There was no separate Barry for the real world and flashpoint.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yeah... When have they alluded to this? I don't think Barry could travel to the Flashpoint dimension if he wanted to right now.
Didn't Cisco vibe a version of Flashpoint where Barry decided to stay there earlier in the season? I'd say that's gotta be somewhere in the Multiverse.

Looked it up and it's from episode 12. And, yeah, they do go into the "daughter" universe concept a bit.
I think he's a little cooler now because we can see what his suit does and all that shit, but yeah he definitely lost some cool. The CGI helped that process along =/
Oh also, I mean it, Iris is not living through this next episode. They will probably find a way to bring her back, but still, from Tuesday to Tuesday, she dead.
That's not true at all.
I agree, her scene with Cisco & Julia was my favorite part of the episode.

I'm not even going that far. I think the Killer Frost issue will 100% come down to the same problem that created Savitar: Team Flash not accepting her.
Cisco had the hook there, and then Julian screwed it up by talking about curing her. Killer Frost isn't quite Caitlyn, but she is. They just need to go "Look, you're still our bro, but let's not kill folks, eh?" It's the Mick Rory plan.

I think he's jumping a little bit too far by thinking pocket dimension Zoom should have destroyed the entire multiverse instead of just that particular instance and its own local multiverse, but he's not wrong in that the show did touch upon that with Flashpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir-FiUf2hi4

The episode or details of what happens? Could you link to the post?
Jesus, that subreddit is such a shit hole. Nvm found it
edit edit
oh boy
its based on a month old on set video posted on youtube and... oh boy lol
Is it laughably bad in the way it ends or is the video not substantial to anything? I worry you mean content. Ah fuck.
Also yeah that place seems to suck pretty bad. Half the front page posts are second rate memes.

If the title of the video is accurate (finale), and there's no twists, then it gives away the ending.
Any regrets seeing it? Are we in for a stinker?

lol you make it seem like she's gonna be dead for such a long time. It's just an episode.
I mean, hey she could be.

Yeah i think i've seen that
Yeah the reddit is basically shitpost thread pretty much all they do, Arrow basically turned the same with bunch of anti-ollicity and felicity posts
I think this is probably what's going on.
I'm gonna be honest I don't like this take on the character.
The thermal vampire angle is so much more tragic.
He also managed to vibe destroyed timelines. He first started vibing the timeline where Eobard killed him.

So does bazooka scientist know she is getting involved with Wells or does she think it's the holoface that he wears?
He calls himself Wells and she seems to think he is smart based on his looks, so I assume she sees Tom Cavanaugh.
Here's hoping her and Malfoy are series regulars next season. I like em both!
Too bad Malfoy is doomed :/

What happened to Savitar being huge.
I'm so tired of that Transformers aesthetic. It was done to death five years ago, but for some reason they just...keep...going.
