@Gracekim12 Well consider this, what if Barry just finds a way to defeat him that doesn't involve creating him? Savitar would never kill Iris in the first place. Problem with that is our good friends called, time remnants.

In this show. Even if you change the future and stop something from being created, their presence was already felt in the past and needs to remain in order for the current timeline to still exist. Eobard being erased from existence didn't bring back to life all the people he had killed like Mason Bridge. Or Barry could have created a time remnant.... of Iris. Um I thought the only other way to create a time remant is if you're on the wave rider and accidently interact with yourself.....

Nah, you can create time remnants by just carrying someone two seconds to the past like Barry does all the time to create remnants. Downside is this creates a copy of you as well, but you can just kill them.
