The Flash 6x2 Poll!

the only thing he is not telling them is, save the cheerleader, save the earths

I would love to see Barry disappear (like in the headline) and then we follow Barry for an episode as he goes through crazy worlds/timelines unconnected to the rest of the Arrowverse. Throw him into the Reverse-Flash's future timeline!

Danny King

What if the Monitor hasn't looked far enough ahead to see Barry's return.

MacRambo

Monitor has no reason to lie, but that doesn't mean he's telling the entire 100% truth either because there's no reason "The Flash" can't be a time remnant. Or Fake "modem noises" God Speed is a seed to them "making" a Fake Flash and that's the one that dies

Crispy_Gin

I don't believe the monitor is telling the truth . He knows Oliver will perish and made that deal with him to save the flash life. I don't believe it was just for that one instance. I believe the flash will die but it won't be this flash more likely it will be Jay garrick flash who will take the drug that godspeed is using and will perish instead of Barry thus making Barry having to watch once again his "dad" die.

Maybe our Barry does die saving the multiverse, but we're left with a nearly identical Barry Allen from another earth who takes his place in the merged post crisis earth.

Sougent

The Monitor doesnt think anything can be saved so he is a bit cryptic over what could happen. Cause he thinks nothing can change in there world and likely believes Oliver cant succeed.

Skeletor

Wish The Monitor said it like you guys do "you will DEAD!" or "DEATH!!" lol

Edwin B

A speedster may be required to save the multiverse. One theory is that the Reverse-Flash may try to usurp that time from Barry and attempt to sacrifice himself. "This time, I get to be the hero, Barry." But it won't work because Eobard doesn't have the same drive Joe was talking about that Barry does. Barry will push himself further to save others than Eobard ever would and thus why the Monitor thinks it can only be Barry that can save them.

Is this the start of a Post-Crisis New Team Flash?

Kali Mbata

The truth, yes. The whole truth, maybe not.

Gavin Hardiman

He does tell Barry you make the ultimate sacrifice. You can't survive. He only mention the world flash once at the end of the conversation. https://youtu.be/l3BWv9GcuwE

Doby Greg

He didn't said what flash have to die he pointed that out.

Brandon

I think A Flash needs to die, or rather A Barry Allen needs to die

Kali Mbata

Perhaps it is a truth that can be reinterpreted.

Entropy

I believe that he is 100% truthful when he says that The Flash must die, however it doesn't have to be this Barry. I believe what he means is that there must be a speedster that is able to save the universe, and that only a speedster who can tap into the speedforce can save the world and that does mean the Flash. Actually it's kind of like Avengers: Endgame. If he told Barry the way to save the world, it wouldn't happen. Barry must be able to come up with the solution on his own no matter what he does, the flash in some way must die.

Rubi Moon

i agree with the first one like a version of barry may have to die or him giving up his positive matter powers

BtsOT79798

Maybe he means “the flash must die” as in the title. Barry must stop being the flash (or give up his powers) to stop what will happen

ChiefChill

I think he's telling a version of the truth. The Flash (or a version of him) has to die to let others survive

Flashback007

He could be telling the current truth. As far as the time line of the show, it only takes place 2 or 3 months after the finale while Arrows finale took place at least 9 months in the future. So it could be that the "change the multiverse requires" hasn't taken effect yet.

My full answer is too long and metaphysical for Patreon, so I will simply say I think he is misleading.

Dylan Carpenter

I believe he's telling the truth as he knows it. However, time is mutable, AND it says The Flash must die. He didn't say, "You, Barry Allen of Earth-1, must die."

Bekah

I wonder if it will be similar to the comic where Barry turns into the lightning bolt that initially struck him to become The Flash.

Justin H'oman

Monitor always calls people he is talking about By his name. If Barry was dying he'd say Barry. I think Its a clue where Arrow is dying in all time lines and in one time line OIiver Is or was The Flash. I think Oliver made the deal to take Barrys place as the Flash and thus Thats who will die.

Skeletor

I think he is misleading but also telling the truth....unless they go the route of Barry disappearing and have a way to give a story line where a flash comes back but it's not Barry it's a younger Reverse Flash before he creates the negative speed force where he idolizes the Flash

SPARTAN 465

Something about the monitor saying “Flash must die” reminds me of “I am the future flash” WHERES THE COMMA??????? Also the comment above mine, spoilers😭🤦🏼‍♂️

I am Ironman

It seems like this year in the arrow verse is bring back dead moms year, arrow and flash!

Alexander Mullins (Valathor95)

He is telling the truth

Matthew

He’s clearly telling the truth, (spoiler free) in comics he’s the guardian of living things, he just wants to save the universe and doesn’t care what happens to anyone, unlike his brother anti monitor who’s the keeper of death and destruction who is jealous of monitor

I believe he’s telling him the truth but is omitting from telling him that there is a way for Oliver to make the sacrifice in Barry’s stead. Probably because the knowledge of it will change Barry’s actions, I.E. D.Strange in Endgame, ‘If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen.’

GollyJunior

I think its going to be a flash that isnt Barry Allen otherwise he would have worded it specifically “you,barry allen must die” if we paid more attention to words and how they said it we would have known savitar was barry the entire time when he said “i am the future flash”

Young Sandwich

I don't think it's that simple. I think he is telling him the truth, but he has to mislead him.

Scott Hadden Jnr

doesn't matter either way, green or red, they are not just gonna stop....

Matt Modlinski

I said yes because I think he’ll die and then come back later this season

Ganon cooley

First Chuck and now The Monitor the CW gods have been trolling our main characters this past year

Joel

He'll die, he never said he wouldn't come back after he vanishes though.

Billyb

I gotta say no. Mostly bc The Monitor is telling berry what he NEEDS to hear not what he WANTS to hear

Deadpool

"A" Flash is going to die, but not our Flash. I'll bet $100 right now that it's going to end up being Flash from Earth-90. It's still Barry Allen, but his world is dead, so it's okay for him to die.

Darth Skhorrn

Yes because they have been teasing, the newspaper since the beginning of the series and the fans have waiting to see it..Course they will find way to bring him back. I would not mind few episodes without Barry has the Flash. It would be great way for the show bring in Wally..

I believe he is pulling a doctor strange in end game doctor strange told tony that if he said if it is true it won’t happen. Monitor is telling barry the truth that him dying is the only way the multiverse will survive but he and oliver is making a second way that the multiverse and barry can survive.

spencer

Yes to an extant, obviously he isn't going to die he has a show thatbhas atbleast a full 22 ep season still, but i think he is telling him part of a truth

Kaleb A. Diaz

I thought Barry stated out of the billions of timelines he saw, the only one where everyone was safe was when he dies? It would seem a bit odd that he says that but doesn’t realize it wasn’t him.

John M

It’s interesting because The Monitor never tells Barry that Oliver will die as well. And as far we know Oliver has not been told “The Flash must die,” only that he dies in the Crisis. It feels like he is giving them another kind of test. The first was Elseworlds to prepare them for the reality-changing threat. Perhaps the second is a test of free will vs destiny?

John M

Always in motion the future is. So even if the Monitor is telling Barry the truth as he believes it doesn’t mean it isn’t subject to change. It doesn’t mean that something can’t change the future. We’ve already seen them change the future when Iris died. I believe Oliver might do something that changes it. There is no way they will kill off Barry. Also who says it has to be Our Flash that dies. It could be the Flash of another world. But I don’t think you can ever fully trust what the monitor says. I think he has his own agenda and plan to save the multiverse and tells people what he believes they need to hear or what he believes needs to happen.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

I think Oliver will take the speed drug and use flash's costume. Making the newspaper still correct as well as Oli and the Flash dying

DeathSwitch

He is misleading Flash by telling Flash the truth.

The Amish Electrician

I think he’s telling him the truth as it stands now. But, the thing that makes our heroes special enough to stop this crisis from destroying everything is what will ultimately lead them to changing Barry’s ultimate fate.

Maybe Barry dying is his backup plan is the monitor and Oliver secret plan fail....but it’s Oliver and Dig they won’t fail together.

Adam kronk

He isn't lying. Our heroes will surprise him with a future he didn't believe possible. Like Oliver/Barry surprising him in elseworlds. It cheapens a lot for me if it's manipulation.

Doby Greg

The Monitor said The Flash must die. He never said you (Barry) must die, like he did to Oliver. So what he told him was true, from a certain point of view.

Grayson Replicas

I think Barry has to believe he’s going to die for the monitor and Oliver’s plan to work.

Ryan O'Malley

Monitor is telling Barry what he needs to hear for his plans to work out
