![]() ![]() So, how can Team Flash defeat Savitar before he takes Iris' life? Trap him in the Speed Force? So, even if the writers want to include some pretty massive stakes and see a character die in season three, it likely will not be Iris. It probably is not worth trying to completely understand the time-travel plot holes created by The Flash, but it does appear that the catalyst for Barry becoming Savitar is the latter killing Iris. ![]() This means Team Flash must stop Savitar before he kills Iris. It is more likely that whatever is done to defeat Savitar will also prevent his existence entirely. While it certainly could happen, the smart money is probably not on the writers creating a scenario where our hero is destined to become his own worst enemy. In other words, if Barry and team cannot prevent the event that leads Barry down the path of darkness, history will just repeat itself. It is not enough to merely stop Savitar, Team Flash has to do so in a way that will prevent Barry from turning evil in the future. Since Savitar is Barry, defeating someone like him is a bit trickier than disposing of your run-of-the-mill villain. Should that not work, though, the question will be: What else can Team Flash do to defeat Savitar? While the Future Flash appears to be nearly unstoppable, there are only three episodes left in The Flash's third season, and thus it is somewhat obvious that Savitar will soon be defeated. In Tuesday night's episode, Team Flash will try to gain an upper hand by preventing Barry from forming new memories. Since he is a future version of Barry (the Future Flash), he has lived through all of the decisions made by his younger self, and thus, can adapt accordingly. It has also become clear why Savitar has been so difficult to stop. It took every bit of 20 episodes, but Barry now knows that at some point in the future, he will turn into Savitar, making him his own worst enemy. ( Editor's note: Spoilers ahead for season three of The Flash, including Savitar's identity.) But now, Barry likely understands the horrifying truth in Abra Kadabra's words. At the time, it wasn't exactly clear how true that would be. Several weeks ago, before we learned Savitar's identity, Abra Kadabra teased Barry Allen, explaining that the evil speedster will be his greatest enemy. ![]()
