Yeah I don't remember the motivation for anyone or anything in S4

In S3 it seems like Savitar's motivation was to be a God, then he was like just joking I'm actually just a time remnant looking to survive.

Why did Savitar even have a cult of people worshiping him in the first place? And then they dropped it all after mid season anyway. It's like they wanted to be faithful to the comics and then just decided to go in a completely different direction.

I get that part but why go for making people dumb? Wouldn't it make more sense to want to raise their intelligence to make them enlightened or try to use science shit to destroy all tech out there so they focus on becoming more enlightened or something?

Lol I honestly forgot about that. Their motivation for it is somehow even dumber

The Idea was to basically restart humanity so that they would all listen to Devoe which of course forgets that humans are assholes but that's the pessimists in me and the other dumb shit

DeVoe also forgot that humans, no matter how braindead we are, still resort to unpredictable emotional actions.

Yeah the Cult of Savitar was just..... Went nowhere lol.

Savitar was basically salty that team flash was dicks to him and decided being a God was cool because I don't have to feel bad

The cult existed because comic Savitar has a cult and I don't think they even said what does Savitar even does as a God or what he will do

The technology bad take is something I expect a 12 year old trying to be deep to say not two people with phds who are supposedly really smart

Like people went to war since caveman days what the hell does technology have to do with humanity being dicks it just makes it easier

Yeah the cult was a waste

Yeah, Savitar was cooler before the reveal. I mean, being a god is a far fetched response to being lonely. Savitar post reveal feels like an entirely different character

Well, to be fair, if he restarted humanity, then he could basically make himself out to be a God. With the vast difference in intellect and tech, it'd sure look like that to men with sticks and stones

Head Canon:

DeVoe turns everyone into mindless humans and he leads the human race into a new age of ENLIGHTENMENT. He sees himself as the smartest and brightest person on the planet so who else but him to lead the human race after the ENLIGHTENMENT, right?

Not sure on how he can reach everybody since he wanted to destroy technology also. His telepathy doesn't have that far of a reach where it's planetary either. So shrugs.

Well I suppose that actually does make sense. Still a rather extreme response towards what kicked it off in the first place but that at least helps show that his plan isn't as nonsensical as I thought

Well he himself would probably keep whatever tech he can, fiddle around, and just, I don't know, science his way towards reaching everyone on the planet. It makes no less sense than his IQ being so ridiculously high that he could practically predict everything...except for where emotions where involved, for some reason

The commericals are messing with us. I think the fight with Thawne will be talk no jutsu and the finale fight is with Grace. Hell they might put him on a leash and make him the team pet for next season

Whatever happened to them saying before the season started "Dont worry, Barrys suit will be getting upgraded and getting a chin strap)?

Was that all bullshit like most of this seasons writing?

The light catches both Barry and Ralph's suit so terribly. They look like suede or something. If you spilled a drink on those you'd just need to write them off.

that stupid suit lol

Literally the first thing I looked at. It's so damn terrible on the eyes.. and because it's so red, your eyes are automatically drawn to it. Compared to everyone else in the pic, he looks like some guy in a party city suit that showed up by accident.

Soooo much better. Added bonus, for a guy that gets punched and thrown into walls constantly, you'd think a bit more armor would be the first thing they'd do. But speed healing, something something.

It was obvious by the half way point in the season that they weren't going to do anything about it. Still hoping it gets destroyed in the finale and they debut a new one next season.

Its just ridiculous that they essentially said "Dont worry that the mask looks shit, he will get that upgraded during the season" yet we have one episode left and nothing has happened.

Just feels like they were lying to the fans to shut them up which given the quality of the season makes me think they dont deserve any support.

"Most formidable nemesis" my ass. Cicada is a villain of the week-level meta who somehow got boosted to the top of the ticket and she's still overshadowed by a depowered Thawne.

Lol. I chuckled when I read the first part.

Talk no Jutsu is going to be what ends this season. Then it turns out Thawne is trying to save everybody and trying to restore the original timeline (not at all likely but it would be shenanigans nonetheless).
