While Thawne is a Grandfather Paradox, Savitar is both a Grandfather Paradox AND a Bootstrap Paradox. Two different time travel theories that can't fit together. A Double Paradox. He started as watching his future self murder his fiance, so he could only exist if he kills his ex-fiance Iris West. But HR died in her place, breaking the time loop. But that time loop was only put in the timeline after Barry did Flashpoint as evident when the newspaper in the Time Vault was written by Iris West-Allen before Savitar came along. At least Eobard had came from an alternate timeline. Savitar just came out of a time loop from nowhere that was ended up broken. At leat they explaned his origin story, while Thawne s return have not been explained.
