The Flash 3x20 | Savitar Reveal
Before I start, just let me say the obvious. SPOILERS AHEAD! So if you haven't watched this week's episode, leave this page now!
Now for us who remain, let's talk about the episode "I Know Who You Are". All these theories going around on the internet about who Savitar is and I see some people complain about the reveal itself, well let me just say this: It works, incredibly well. There was a tone of foreshadowing to this entire reveal, actually since episode 1 where Reverse Flash literally says "Now who's the villain Flash? Who's the villain?
There's been foreshadowing on; How would have Savitar known all the things we haven't seen him, like the whole Earth-2 shenanigans, is because Barry was there, it all ties in perfectly, it isn't like the whole Zoom reveal were Zoom the identity of Jay Garrick because there was no way realistically that we would have known that here, this tightened perfectly. It is not like we expected it and not like I didn't jump out of my chair but who else could it be?
For example these theories about Ronnie being Savitar, which made absolutely no sense to me, like why would Ronnie come back as an evil force to avenge Barry when he chose to sacrifice himself in a heroic way, he accepted what he had to do in order to save Barry and the others.
Of course Savitar was Barry, especially with the whole colour scheme, where Future Flash has the blue scheme as well, Wally being in the wheelchair and Iris dead, but I think that is called "Out of Time" meaning, Iris actually being in the wheelchair and Wally being dead.
Yet the biggest giveaway we had, was Savitar himself saying "You are the past, whereas I am the future, Flash". If we take these words literally, Savitar's identity could have already been revealed.
That comes down to a really important question; "How does Barry become Savitar?" Well, if we take it upon the comics The Flash "Out of Time" the reason is perfectly explained. I would recommend to anyone to read the comics as in my opinion they are amazing! Here is a video of the comic explaining everything you need to know about The Flash becoming Savitar.
