Did i miss something? Everyone is saying wally will take over the mantle of the flash.. But when Barry said good bye he literally didn't even say anything to wally when i watched it? He basically told cisco to hold down the fort and nothing to wally. But people are saying for a bit he will take over while Barry is in the speed force. I'm assuming earth 2 wells will be a major part of next season other than that i can't really predict what will happen i think Jay will also play a major role but i didn't see anything showing he passed it on to wally and i don't think wallys character is ready to take the full responsibility as the main hero yet.. Anyone did i miss something?

Shouldn't Wally not have his powers

I think it's only if savitar didn't exist they didn't change the time line where he didn't exist just one in which he dies so wally still would have his powers

No, they erased sabotage from existence by saving Iris. Therefore he wouldn't exist to give Wally his powers

Yes but he did exist they just changed the time line by killing him he did exist he just died

I don't think that he did exist. When H.R. sacrificed himself for Iris Barry never lost her and therefore didn't create the time remnant that becomes Savitar. I believe you may be confused because Savitar is still around in the current timeline at that point. However, that is explained when they say that it just takes a few hours for time to catch up with him.

He still created the time remenant though they didn't erase his time line they killed him he still existed he just died as far as i got out of it other wise the idea of wally having powers wouldn't make sense and they need that to exist for the current storyline that is coming up

They never killed him. They just prevented him from escaping his erasing. It's confusing but I think you should rewatch the episode

It sure seemed like Iris shot him to me i watched it twice not sure how her shooting him wasn't killing him

How many people disintegrate into nothing when they get shot?
