The season 4 big bad is going to threaten the very existence of the speed force. Speed Force releases Barry to save the day at end of episode 1/2. He spends the season doing so.

Wait, can someone explain to me exactly why there always needs to be a speedster in the speed-force prison? I mean, I get the speed-force went nuts when Jay got out, but... why did it go nuts? What's the plot device here?

I mean I kinda get why Barry is in the speed force, they need him to balanace out all the stupid poo poo he has done and Barry feels the need to replace Jay because its no one's fault but Barry's (sorta) the Speedforce is out of whack. Still, its kinda dick to Barry.

Oh don't worry he'll be out of prison within an episode or two to defeat another secret speedster.

If destroying the Black Flash is as easy as shooting a freeze beam at it and Flashpoint Eobard doesn't give a gently caress about time anymore because he's already being chased by BF and outrunning his paradox then yeah sorry, it's time to explain some poo poo.

You're making assumptions that the Black Flash is actually gone for good.

Bruceski posted:They built it into a load-bearing pillar of the speedforce, pretty much. I like to think that before Flashpoint the speedprison didn't exist, but once Barry hosed the timeline sideways it always existed as a constant in the Speedforce in the new timeline. So just another thing Barry's ruined with his shenanigans.

Create a time remnant and go "dude, love her with all your heart, be a great friend to everyone, and be a better Flash than I was. Laters!" and then fling himself into the Speed Force and then just follow that Barry for the rest of the show and all the wacky CW DramaTM guaranteed to come about because of it. ChristopherRobin posted:Except instead of Barry creating a time remnant, during the final battle they actually get through to Savitar and figure out how to keep him in existence through SPEEDFORCE. Then the ending plays through exactly the same way except instead of Barry going into the speedforce it's Savitar by choice to save everyone. It'd be a good redemption story flip on them trapping him there. HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE posted:Say it with me now.

Keep Barry locked in the Speed Force for a while. Then give us Impulse, played by Grant Gustin in a terrible wig. And bring back Cowboy Wells, drat it!

I wish that Savatar lived and Barry still got sucked into the speed force, that way next season would have barry gone and evil barry showing up for occasional douchebaggery. Also evil Caitlin who became not evil but not good but still a different person because *coldforce* runaway dog fucked around with this message at 10:07 on May 25, 2017 |

That was a whole lot of bafflegab, some of it satisfying, some of it not. It feels like by giving Barry a "redemption" they're sort of rebooting him so they can go back to simpler, more season 1ish Flash shenanigans for next season which is a great idea. I wish they hadn't complicated-up all their Speed Force and time travel business because these things can be a really fun way to spice up or limit stories (like when Mark Waid wrote the book and introduced the Speed Force idea) but hopefully they can leave it alone now.

OG Eobard was standing right next to Eddie when he shot himself so there was no time lag for the time paradox to catch up with him and microwave him out of existence. hosed Up Flashpoint Time Remnant Eobard spent months trying to outrun the time paradox by leaping all over time so it couldn't catch up with him. Or whatever. Speedforce. I ain't gotta explain shi

Okay, I understand what a closed time loop is, but my question is: what did Flashpoint have to do with Savitar's origin? Flashpoint was the source of Savitar's recruitment drive, sure, but the whole closed loop thing that took up the latter half of the season could just as easily have happened without Flashpoint. Barry's responsible for all the little changes in time, but how is our present Barry responsible for Savitar? lol who am I kidding I know the answer is Speedforce

The answer is always some variation of: "Uh uh, uh..."

I think flashpoint is just the mechanism by which Savitar was able to escape from the prison in which Barry trapped him the first time round - by enabling him to create Wally. Or some such thing

Flashpoint did enough to change Barry's timeline that it led to Julian, and Alchemy, and subsequently Savitar and the loop. They should have done more to dig into this concept, but Flashpoint basically remade Earth 1 into another alternate universe Earth. Flashpoint just made Earth 1 the origin of Savitar, and Earth 2045 is probably dealing with the same poo poo.

Savitar also mentioned that the time fuckery which Barry did to create Flashpoint messed with time enough so that the creation of Savitar was essentially a fixed event, and Barry taking his own life wouldn't cause Savitar to be erased from history (like with Eddie and Reverse Flash).

Really wish they'd followed through with the pacifist ending. That might have redeemed the entire mess of the season for me. Felton's character sucks now. He was much better when he was a jerk. Caitlin better come back. I miss her being a wet blanket on Cisco's ridiculous ideas.

rapeface posted:Felton's character sucks now. He was much better when he was a jerk. I don't see the point of him and I don't know why they would keep him around because this show does not need more supporting characters, let alone more people hanging around Star Labs telling Barry to run faster.

He survived his romance with Caitlin. That's not nothing. Almost nothing, but not nothing.
