Arrow writer's room on villain identity reveal: "Uh... I don't know, let's just throw it in the middle of that one episode." Actually Arrow's writing room allows us to know more about the villain and understand them better. I still don't get why Savitar wants to kill his own wife. However with Adrian, we got to know more about him before and after the reveal. So we know why he killed her because he is just so crazy and determined to kill Oliver that nothing else matters.

He wants to kill Iris because if he doesn't, Savitar will cease to exist. It's Iris' death that triggers the time loop that Savitar is currently in, that differentiates Savitar Barry with present day Barry. The next episode puts the team in the 24 hour time bomb game. At the end of the day, if Savitar doesn't kill Iris by the time the 24 hours is up, he will disappear because the time loop he was stuck in was broken. Will Julian disappear? Will forget him as anyone would not know each other.
