I really do not understand, why everybody says that Savitar was lame. He was awesome in my opinion. Personally because he was very generic in his claims of godhood, especially compared to Eobard who was a complex tragic villain, or Zoom who was extremely intimidating. Also the arc of his identity was dragged out way too long, by the point where there was no room left to develop his character. Upon discovering who he was that made him the easiest to defeat since he was connected to Barry and was also had Barry as a weakness. Eobard was a tragic villain? How? Yes, he just wanted to go home and he is a bit symphatetic for that, but his reason for hating The Flash and trying to kill him was really pathetic. If anything, Savitar is the tragic villain, as he was only evil, because Team Flash were huge jerks to him. Well Eobard was one of the least evil Big Bads out of the Arrowverse. He only did things when they posed a threat to him returning home, and he genuinely cared about Team Flash and Barry. That was the old Eobard, by the time he became Wells he had changed a lot. Savitar lost a lot of sympathy when he's willing to kill his own wife for self-preservation. He did have it hard with being rejected by Team Flash, but really disproportionate response. Are you forgetting that rejection from Team Flash is  not the only bad thing that has happenned to Savitar. He had already lost his mother, his father, Iris, and I guess being abandoned by the people closest to him was the final traumatic thing that had to happen to Barry Allen to make him evil. While Eobard did grow to care for the present Barry, he still hated Future Barry for his pathetic reasons. That does not excuse killing your own wife. Eobard went after those he hated, while Savitar went for his own loved one. Except Eobard started off as a nasty person who mellowed out and became better, not a fallen hero who couldn't take rejection and decided to be a petty dick who proclaims himself to be a god.

By the time of season 1, Eobard had stated it no longer mattered about the original reasons why he and Barry hated each other. By that point both of them had done so much to each other and given so many reasons to hate one another.
