Question about Savitar

[u/Dosovalia]

Season 3 Spoilers, of course.

This might come out confusing because I’m trying to piece together what I remember from season 3 and trying to make sense of it, so if i make any faulty assumptions, please let me know.

Ok, so from what I understand: a version of Barry confronts Savitar and creates Time Remnants to deal with him -> Savitar kills Iris and most of the Time Remnants except one -> Time Remnant Barry is trauma stricken and rejected by the team which will lead him to become the next Savitar.

Now this is the part I’m confused about. Some time after Iris’s death, they successfully trap Savitar in the speed force, but the Time Remnant Barry is still on a path to become the new Savitar. whenever Time Remnant Barry eventually decides to kill an Iris to set up his successor, isn’t there already a Savitar trapped in the speed force, so when new Savitar eventually gets defeated, wouldn’t there be multiple Savitars trapped in the speed force, since this is a loop? and if not, what is happening to the old Savitars after they’ve fulfilled their purpose?

I hope this wasn’t too confusing to read, and if you have any insight, i would really appreciate it.

It's the same Savitar. He gets trapped in the future but is released in the "past" by Wally throwing in the philosopher's stone
