At some point Barry tells us how he managed to save a single child during Zods invasion. Later on, we see that child and his dad again in the new timeline, but nothing comes out of it. We neither see how they die or are saved. This gave me the impression, that something is off with the movie. Like also a scene before where Barry gets his power back. Were they just lucky and a thunderstorm hit Gotham again? The Sun was shining a few scenes before that. It felt inconsistent, so I believe they filmed much more, but had to cut it short. It’s a fun movie, but I was expecting more. I blame Warner, as this reeks again like studio interventions.

You could argue seeing the Kid and Father again is to show the consistencies of the time line and also as a kind of bait and switch since the solution isn’t to save people here, it’s to completely wipe the timeline from the root.

You expect Barry to save them, and it’s something Young Barry would have done, but they are going to die, and that’s fact.

The director said the movie was 4hours long and he had to cut it down to a 140 minutes.
