This week ‘The Flash’ will take a break from the battle against Savitar as Barry and his good friend Kara Zor-El are drawn into an alternate universe by the evil Music Meister in a special musical episode debuting Tuesday night at 8pm ET on the CW. This will eventually lead to Barry traveling into the future in episode 19 and we all know how his trips into the timeline have ended in the past. “Iris and Barry have a great scene, ‘Can you be a hero if you do one bad thing?’” “He knows who Savitar is and comes with a moral conundrum: Do Barry and the team let Abra Kadabra go in order to get Savitar’s identity? It’s a great mortality play,” Kreisberg teased. One interesting twist will come during episode 18 when Barry goes up against a villain named Abra Kadabra, who is also a villain from the future and a person who knows Savitar’s true identity. “We’ve been planning this for a while and we’re really excited about it.” “With Savitar, we know who he is under there,” Kreisberg said. The big reveal this season promises to be just as jaw dropping and ‘The Flash’ executive producers promise that it’s something they’ve had in the works all along.
‘The Flash’ pulled off a great double switch last season when revealing that Hunter Zolomon was really Zoom with an even bigger bomb dropped when they discovered Jay Garrick being held hostage as the man in the iron mask by the powerful speedster on Earth-2. There were no hints about the direction ‘The Flash’ might be going for Barry’s main opponent during season 4, although throughout comic book history there have been plenty of bad guys who took on the Scarlet Speedster who weren’t nearly as fast as the fastest man alive.Īs far as the remainder of season 3 goes, ‘The Flash’ will continue to build towards an ultimate showdown with Savitar - the self professed God of Speed - and revealing his or her identity will be a big part of the story yet to come. “Next season we’re not going to have a speedster ,” Kreisberg said. ‘The Flash’ has already been picked up for a fourth season and executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed this past weekend that there won’t be a speedster as the main villain when the show returns in the fall. Despite, Barry taking on all sorts of meta-humans, aliens and even a gigantic telepathic gorilla, his main opposition during the first three seasons have all been villains with similar speed to his own. If there’s been one common theme to the big bads coming after Barry Allen on ‘The Flash’ it’s that all of them have been speedsters. Perhaps we meet Godspeed now as a precursor to him being a Big Bad down the line! The one mitigating factor is that we know there’s another potential evil speedster on the horizon in Red Death, who was name-dropped via the Flash Museum earlier this season.‘The Flash’ season 4 won’t kick off until the fall but the producers already have an idea in mind for a new big bad… Think back to the DeVoe references in season 4, or the appearances of Nora West-Allen before we even knew her name. One thing that we have seen as of late within the world of The Flash is them implanting stories and people who matter down the road. You don’t typically debut villains in the middle of a season unless they’re serving as one-offs … though this could be the show opting to do things a little bit differently. This is an excellent question, given that Godspeed has legitimate Big Bad potential - there was even talk that he’d be the main villain this season! That title went instead to Cicada, who has been a little hit-and-miss so far this year. It seems like being a speedster on The Flash is kinda like being an artist - everyone has a palette and a lot of different colors, but everyone is going to find a way to create a different picture with it. He’s also capable of creating temporary duplicates of himself and drawing speed-force energy from other speedsters. Much like Barry, he has super-speed and can move around within the speed force. They’d have to find some other way to make that work. Season 4 might be the best example of this, with most of the Bus Metas being more victim than villain, but.
Their version of Savitar is hardly similar to the comic-book one at all! They can and most likely will do whatever they want, but it’d be nice to keep an emotional component to the character … though we don’t exactly know an August Heart in the TV universe. Every season, Team Flash deals with adversaries or challenges that aren't quite villains. Remember that The Flash the TV show is more than likely to make some huge deviations to the source material. He’s a little closer to Eobard Thawne, who had a relationship with Barry under the guise of Earth-1 Harrison Wells. Speedster villains within the world of The Flash are pretty much everywhere, but what makes Godspeed slightly special is that he has a personal relationship with Barry - it’s different than the show’s interpretation of Zoom (a psychopath from another Earth) or Savitar (a time remnant of Barry himself).
