The Flash show doesn’t understand how their own time remnants work
I was small when I started watching the show, I didn’t knew exactly what time remnants were. Then I rewatched it when I was older and understanding how they were created just made things more confusing.
Flash firstly created a full time remnant when racing against Zoom. He did it by racing a few seconds back and meeting himself there, now being 2 of them.
The problem is that the show constantly tells you that he creates time remnants when he actually doesn’t. By going back in time he creates another timeline and becomes himself a remnant of his timeline which is now overwritten by a few seconds. So why does the show constantly say that?
The second problem is essentially all that Savitar is. He was „created“ among others and by being the only time remnant left, nobody gave a shite about him because he was just a „time remnant“. Now mind you tell me what the difference between him and the „real Barry“ is? The show constantly acts as if remnants are copies created by the original when that is literally not the case. If I go 10 seconds back in time and meet myself none of us are more „real“ than the other. Savitar has Barry’s powers, soul, looks, memories and past because he IS him in every sense, not a copy, multiversal doppelgänger or clone.
I didn’t watch the later seasons so if anyone wants to correct me please do.
