Well Slade was probably the most developed and fleshed out villain in the whole franchise (even more than Merlyn, despite his extra screentime). Too much of Savitar's character was dedicated to "who tf is that guy" before we were allowed to just sit back and watch him.

One thing that his revelation of being the Future Flash does fix for me is, I never could buy that some random ancient god-like speedster would be such a personal enemy for Barry. The fact that he is Future Barry does explain why he has his obsession with his younger self.
