In season 1 and 2 the bad guys were super obvious but they handled it super seriously like it's actually some big secret that the obviously evil prof and the guy who is never around when Zoom comes are the abd guys. This time around they just flat out told us then started to mess with us to make people second guess themselves while the plot of the season built it up to this.

The first two reveals cheapened the speedster villains for me especially Zolomon. That was just stupid and horribly written. This one makes it more sinister in my eyes when you realize that Barry wanted to change the future because of iris, but the future he really needed to change was his own. Makes the whole thing much stronger for me. But this time, it doesn't make any sense unlike the first two!
