So if he saves his mother his timeline is gone and I’d doesn’t matter, or he lets her die and Barry kicks his ass anyway. That’s why it’s somewhat of a plot hole but it can be explained by future ideas on the show
I always thought it was because despite everything, that version of Thawne really did grow to love Barry after working with and watching over him for so long. He realized that this wasn't the Barry he hated, and after being captured, wanted a way home that could also act as a way to give Barry a gift. Afterward, he was so angry about his chance to go home being destroyed he decided to actually go through with his original plans. Maybe he knows how to navigate the Speedforce to get back to his specific timeline, we know the Speedforce kept at least part of it intact because Eobard shows up again to learn Barry's identity even though Eddie was long since dead. So by going through time while Barry was still "changing the past" he would be able to exist in that timeline while the changed timeline got erased. Time travel is weird.
4:00 I think this can be simply explained with the fact that Eobard is supposed to go through the portal and make it to his timeline before Barry changes it.
Maybe he was counting on being protected from timeline changes by traveling through time (through the wormhole/speedforce) at the same time as Barry saved his mom. Becoming a paradox as he so often likes to do.
We need a whole season focusing on Thawne, set in the future. There's so much potential here, his obsession with the flash, he discovering the mysteries of speed force, making naive mistakes cause time wraith to pursue him, maybe a failed love interest, turning evil, creating negative speed force, his best friend who has had die by his fluctuating hand so that he could achieve his goals and at least one solid reason to hate flash (rather than the childish excuse that, he wanted to be the flash but he couldn't). It should be like a loop, like Barry did something which led to Thawne becoming reverse flash. Maybe for revenge or something, I mean there's so much grey area... So much potential content...
it would be really cool if they could do that but i dont think they will. i mean they probably find a villain who isn't a speedster and they will make barry even more dumb than he is right now.

Last one is Nora rewinding time similar to ZSJL Flash during Supes resurrection and the most epic Flash scene in existence(at least for me). But I guess there could be a video explaining all three types of time travel
Next question: Thawne cant move fast enough to travel in time. Barry can travel fast enough to travel through time. Thawne is faster than barry. Thawne can't travel through time? (Maybe Im just missing something that I should remember)
Thawne knows how time travel works so he can’t move recklessly like Barry without altering the timeline and or alerting the time wraiths and black flash.
My guess was that Thawne was worried that killing Barry’s mom changed the timeline, so he sought to try to change the timeline back to the original, as removing the Flash was what removed Thawne’s powers, and that combined with the “tragedy so great it would prevent you from becoming the Flash” he said at the end of season 1, Barry probably became the Flash in one timeline became the Flash without his mom dying.
and the answer to why eobard wanted barry to save Nora is because he's from the future and the newspaper from 2024 says flash vanished in crisis so he knew barry would not save her although he thought he would get home since he built his own speed force and can think really fast but thought wrong.
Mad coincidence that I have started rewatching the flash today and am 7 episodes in. That's kind of a crazy coincidence, but I guess with the amount of people that watch your vids, the odds that one person would be in my situation isn't as unlikely as it seems
I always read it as Thawne was done, he'd had his rivalry with Barry and after being at it for years he was at the end of his rope and just wanted to go home, he didn't care what happened to the timeline. It did always bug me though that no-one on Barry's team ever thought 'hey, if Barry does this he'd erase this timeline, right?' It definitely gets worse over time but so did the show, so I prefer not to dwell on it. You raised some amazing points though.
What if eobard knew that barry wont save his mother so he just told him to open a portal to the past, for barry to have a reason to open a portal to the past for eobard
Ok but what if his real plan was to become a paradox? Gives him an endless life because the speedforce wants the timeline to be as stable and without change as possible
He kind of already was. That’s why he came back. Plus, the speedforce can’t do anything about Thawn since he’s part of the negative speedforce which is a whole separate thing
That’s what I thought his plan was. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops up in the current season since the actual speed force didn’t die. OR maybe we get a new version of him since it’s post crisis.
@@ange1noha1o the negative speed force isn’t necessarily its own thing, it is like a branch of the speed force since it feeds from it. Still a good take you got though
The reason that the wraiths didn't attack Barry during Flashpoint is because the Speed Force knows what she's doing. She also knows about every possible future. So she knew that Barry would suffer under his own consequences and reverse things. No need for her to step in.
6:33 Simple answer Barry's friends with the Speed Force, so no time wraits after him (Friendship confirmed from with first few episode of Season 7 which aired till now)
If you remember in season 3 Into the Speed Force, when Barry is talking to the Speed Force version of Eddie, he said that they let him create Flashpoint because Zoom had just killed his dad. That’s why Time Wraiths never came after him in the Flashpoint timeline.
It was because the Eobard that Barry stops would and did become a time remenant while the one Barry knew gets to leave. Even so that time remenant eobard wouldn’t lose his connection to the negative speed force as we saw in legends of tomorrow.
In the season 3 episode where Barry goes into the Speedforce to save Wally, The Speedforce says that they let Barry do Flashpoint because they understand Barry's grieving.
Oooh. I do remember that actually and the Speed Force does seem to have a deeper connection with Barry. I think the time wraith they sent in episode 17 of season 2 was just to scare off Barry because why kill him. Then they don't send one after Barry for Flashpoint because of what you said and hoping he would learn his lesson in the future.
Every time u change the timeline u create another one it’s the basics of Quantum Mechanics and Cisco Vibed the timeline of Flashpoint from another timeline which was the very same timeline of S3’s Flashpoint and the Speedforce allowed Barry to live in Flashpoint that’s why no Timewraiths were hunting him!
Hey you should make a video on phasing/vibrating, cuz as of now it seems like you can do anything. You can phase through ppl and kill them, you can phase through people and not kill them (zoom phased through caitln and she was fine) u can counter act a reverse flash by also phasing (nora tryna kill barry) you can become invisible, you can grab something through a wall which is weird cuz how do they control what they are phasing through and what they aren't. U can also break stuff (jay broke that cup) Also what happens if u stop midway through wall. Will the wall explode, do you get stuck in the wall, do u get every single atom split open and die? Also how do they control the phasing and not enter flash time, because u have to vibrate at a certain frequency so you can't just shake your arm as fast as you can. What does phasing look like to speedsters, since to us the arm is vibrating fast but to them in flash time they are just very slowly moving their arms and somehow it passes through stuff. Also they say different stuff is different frequency, so if there was a table, and stuff on the table, how do you phase through all of that stuff at once. If they can phase through anything, can't they just fall to the other side of the earth. He once phased a thing into the pillar to stop cicada, how come the thing was fully in tact. Theoritcally he should be able to phase out of stuff attached to him, so like if there was food in his mouth theoritcally he can phase and run really fast and the food would be left behind. On a side note, can they control their lighting, cuz a speed mirage theoritcally should have the lightning in between. Also if he is running and suddenly 180s would he run into his own lightning.
I always figured Thawnes real agenda other than just "getting home" was that in the future, he has the tech, power and the ability to fully restore his speed, something he can't do in this time with the current level of technology and resources available, cause I feel like he would need something that's exotic to this current time to do it, something that's actively gettable in the future, something like a concentrated form of energy source or maybe a particle accelerator built to get to something no particle accelerator built today can get to. Anyway, after restoring his speed, he would've continued fucking around with Barry's life. Also, side note here, but I think I figured out why Eobard managed to come back after being "erased" in season 1, remember how he said the negative speed force is immune to timeline changes? well even if he wasn't in it when he got erased, the fact that he has a connection to it prevented him from being completely erased, and instead just being dumped somewhere else in time or his speed force
he’s about uhh 3 kilometers and 5 seconds slower than last season and we know this because you carry the one and uh multiply it by 1 and the divide it by 0 and you get 2 miles
How about the future that doesn't exist anymore? Why would Eobard want to return to a future that he's not even familiar with since he drastically altered the timeline by killing Nora? That's the only question I've been having for the past 6 years
Probably because he didnt think of the changes to his future or maybe there wasnt any since he lives around 2151 and the changes probably arent major or there arent any theres really no reason but thawne isnt stupid. he probably knew his future wasnt affected because its too far
Can you also talk about how it made sense that Thawne was still imprisoned if Cicada was cured? Like how does that make sense. The dagger disappeared from existence when baby Cicada took the cure so how was Thawne kept imprisoned by something that doesn't exist? The part about changes take time to solidify doesn't even make sense since the point in time baby Cicada took the cure and Thawne imprisoned are years apart
7:04 no Barry didn’t luck out in 3x15 into the speed force, the speed force explains that the only reason it didn’t punish Barry was because it was feeling bad because barry had just lost Henry as well
I think you misunderstood the whole thing. If Thawne at the end of season 1 did not tell Barry to go and save his mother, the future he returned to would not be his because thawne killing Barry's mother is what created a new timeline for him and Barry saving his mother, his mother did not die in thawne's time, would set the timeline back to thawne's original one
I just want to point something out that has nothing to do with the video. The titles of the finales for the first 3 seasons sound like the all fit together. Season 1: Fast enough Season 2: Race of his life Season 3: Finish line. FAST ENOUGH TO DO THE RACE OF HIS LIFE AND REACH THE FINISH LINE
One thing that confuses me in the season 1 finale of the Flash Eobard Thawne wanted Barry to go back in time to save his mother. However in the season 3 premier titled Flashpoint Eobard wanted Barry to allow him to kill his mother to fix Flashpoint. So shouldn't the version of Eobard Thawne from season 1 already know that Barry saving his mother would just create Flashpoint having already experienced it when he was younger?
I'm pretty sure either Thawne forgot just like everyone else forgot about Flashpoint except Barry because he created it, or he went back to his original future
I mean, we can see the reason in the Flashpoint episode: he knows Barry could never stay in that reality permanently. It’s the ultimate way to torture Barry. And especially since Barry would have to ask Thawne for help to undo it, it’s extra cruel. Thawne said it himself: “you’ll never be truly happy, Barry Allen.”
It think that the Speed Force keeps copies of the previous timelines and that's where the past time remnants comes from and that's where Eobard went in s2 ep11. That's where past Barry would go such as the 2024 future in season 3 as it no longer exists in the main timeline but past Barry will end up going to a copy of it. Eobard may have been trying to go to a copy of his original timeline maybe.
It kind of does make some sense though because thawne might of thought If Barry Saves His Mum Then Barry would become The Flash In 2020 Instead of 2014 and then thawne Would live in the same timelinr he did Before he killed wells
When Barry was in the speed force in season 3 the speed force tells him that they allowed him to do flashpoint that’s why time raiths didn’t go after him
At least we finally figured out why Eobart had such a hate boner against Barry,it's not just because he hates him,it's also because of the artificial speed force he created with rage as his power boost
Actually Back to the Future works the same way too. Remember, the "branched" timeline was going to overwrite the other so Doc and Marty HAD to go and fix things. If the branch created a separate universe they could just hop onto their old one but that's not what they did. So basically not too different from Flashpoint.
here's the thing, Season1 "Pilot" is a Reverse Flashpoint. Eobard changed the timeline by killing Nora then replacing Well's. When Barry creates the Flashpoint, Eobard probably had hoped it would restore the timeline close enough to how things were (something we see the other actor (not Tom) manage to do in "Paradox" but with the few small tweaks. But instead it caused a massive change, with Wallace being the Flash, Joe being a drunk, Cisko using his powers to sleep with Snarts sister and be a billionaire. as for S1 finale Thawne's endgame, id assume it was what a Time Remnant WAS before the ret-con for the Zoom / Savitar crap. Well-Thawne would be protected in the speedforce when Barry saves Nora from past Eobard. That way, when the new timeline sets, Eobard returns to his time with his powers and no Flash. Meanwhile Wally's Flash would of died because, lets be real, Kid Flash was useless in Flashpoint. And other than one good scene in a later season, he is rubbish. Bart did more than Wally.
I think we're missing a big point here, Barry's mother being killed by thawne wasn't even supposed to happen in first place, even when you consider that Wally being Speedster wasn't supposed to happen either, but i think the fixed point of earth 1 is supposed to be Barry becoming the legendary version of the flash, because in the flashpoint was a problem because Barry didn't wanna lose his memories from S1. Say Wally becomes kid flash in flashpoint before 2020, in 2020 Barry becomes the flash anyway. I believe thawne calculated everything except Barry being stupid enough mess up something that was literally spoon fed him, because even if everything went according to the original timeline or flashpoint, thawne would be safe anyway. Hence the whole 15 year waiting period of S1.
1:50 not necessarily, you see in the original timeline Barry doesn't become Flash untill 2020, however Wally getting powers before Barry could easily be effect of changing the timeline, think of it like this, there is original timeline, Thawne goes back kills Barry's mom creating arrowverse timeline, Barry saves his mom putting timeline to how it was with some changes like wally becoming flash before Barry
I think it makes a little more sense if you see it from just a season 1 perspective, without the (even more) timeline breaking context of the future seasons. Eobard knows that his interference in the past is the reason his connection to the Speed Force is fucked and why he is stranded. By letting Barry save Nora, he effectively restores the original timeline, therefore his original future, so he can go back and have his proper connection to his Speed Force back. He is willing to go back to a world with OG Future Flash, if that means having his speed back proper and being able to go home.
i think, if thawne goes back in to the future and barry saves his mom, in the far away future, the timeline will become the original timeline line where barry gets his powers in 2020 and his parents are still alive
Why Barry didn’t get the time wraiths after him for making flashpoint is because the speedforce let him, it states that when Barry goes into the speed force in season 3 to save wally
Actually, I believe that the reason Barry doesn't have his powers in season 2 is because the particle accelerator goes off in 2020, and it takes place in 2016. That's why his speed is slowly fading, therefore he reverses the flash point keeping the original timeline intact
I think he did it because he knew Barry inside and out, past and future, and also knew he wouldn’t actually do it. It took his dads death to finally push him over the edge

Can you do a vid explaining difference between Barry time travel vs when he sees himself running next to himself then ends up time traveling later on
It only happens twice, where he time travels about a day or so.
He isn't different enough to make another timeline remnant, his past self.
It was never directly explained, but barry must overwrite each other when they time travel short distances.

It's actually pretty so simple although it doesn't really work but Barry saw himself from a day in the future since he accidentally time travelled back to that point which is why we saw it again but in the Barry that time travelled prospective
I says it doesn't work because when Barry say himself from a day later he should have been erased

That was weird because he became his past self. Maybe you could say it's because it's only a day. But Nora (&DCEU Flash) actually rewind the event. But Barry clearly jumped into a 'worm whole' but ended up in his a day younger self...

I think theres 3 kinds of time travel.
Mostly we see the one where the present Barry visits the past or the future.
The other type is going back to an earlier point after a possible death(just like a time loop). It happened in the great tsunami and the flash/arrow crossover with the explosion.
Last one is Nora rewinding time similar to ZSJL Flash during Supes resurrection and the most epic Flash scene in existence(at least for me).
But I guess there could be a video explaining all three types of time travel
Next question: Thawne cant move fast enough to travel in time. Barry can travel fast enough to travel through time. Thawne is faster than barry. Thawne can't travel through time? (Maybe Im just missing something that I should remember)
Thawne knows how time travel works so he can’t move recklessly like Barry without altering the timeline and or alerting the time wraiths and black flash.
I'm glad you started making these vids because I started rewatching the flash
My guess was that Thawne was worried that killing Barry’s mom changed the timeline, so he sought to try to change the timeline back to the original, as removing the Flash was what removed Thawne’s powers, and that combined with the “tragedy so great it would prevent you from becoming the Flash” he said at the end of season 1, Barry probably became the Flash in one timeline became the Flash without his mom dying.
and the answer to why eobard wanted barry to save Nora is because he's from the future and the newspaper from 2024 says flash vanished in crisis so he knew barry would not save her although he thought he would get home since he built his own speed force and can think really fast but thought wrong.
Its always a good day when comics posts
Yep😉
Only channel I love and will stay w9th months between videos because you straight up explain stuff easily with understanding.
How fast was Earth-90's Flash?
It would be nice seeing the OG Flash getting a video explaining what his top speed was.
Mad coincidence that I have started rewatching the flash today and am 7 episodes in. That's kind of a crazy coincidence, but I guess with the amount of people that watch your vids, the odds that one person would be in my situation isn't as unlikely as it seems
Make that two
I always read it as Thawne was done, he'd had his rivalry with Barry and after being at it for years he was at the end of his rope and just wanted to go home, he didn't care what happened to the timeline. It did always bug me though that no-one on Barry's team ever thought 'hey, if Barry does this he'd erase this timeline, right?'
It definitely gets worse over time but so did the show, so I prefer not to dwell on it. You raised some amazing points though.
As always, wonderful video!
What if eobard knew that barry wont save his mother so he just told him to open a portal to the past, for barry to have a reason to open a portal to the past for eobard
Ok but what if his real plan was to become a paradox? Gives him an endless life because the speedforce wants the timeline to be as stable and without change as possible
He kind of already was. That’s why he came back. Plus, the speedforce can’t do anything about Thawn since he’s part of the negative speedforce which is a whole separate thing
@@ange1noha1o but negative speed is cancer it’s siphons off the positive speed force
@@jamaurharris338 yes but it still exists separate from the positive speed force
That’s what I thought his plan was. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops up in the current season since the actual speed force didn’t die. OR maybe we get a new version of him since it’s post crisis.
@@ange1noha1o the negative speed force isn’t necessarily its own thing, it is like a branch of the speed force since it feeds from it. Still a good take you got though
The reason that the wraiths didn't attack Barry during Flashpoint is because the Speed Force knows what she's doing. She also knows about every possible future. So she knew that Barry would suffer under his own consequences and reverse things. No need for her to step in.
6:33 Simple answer Barry's friends with the Speed Force, so no time wraits after him (Friendship confirmed from with first few episode of Season 7 which aired till now)
In other words ... MY GOALS ARE BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING !!!
If you remember in season 3 Into the Speed Force, when Barry is talking to the Speed Force version of Eddie, he said that they let him create Flashpoint because Zoom had just killed his dad. That’s why Time Wraiths never came after him in the Flashpoint timeline.
Finnaly new viedo thx
It was because the Eobard that Barry stops would and did become a time remenant while the one Barry knew gets to leave. Even so that time remenant eobard wouldn’t lose his connection to the negative speed force as we saw in legends of tomorrow.
Crazy timing. I just rewatched the flash season one and finished it yesterday
In the season 3 episode where Barry goes into the Speedforce to save Wally, The Speedforce says that they let Barry do Flashpoint because they understand Barry's grieving.
Oooh. I do remember that actually and the Speed Force does seem to have a deeper connection with Barry. I think the time wraith they sent in episode 17 of season 2 was just to scare off Barry because why kill him. Then they don't send one after Barry for Flashpoint because of what you said and hoping he would learn his lesson in the future.
Every time u change the timeline u create another one it’s the basics of Quantum Mechanics and Cisco Vibed the timeline of Flashpoint from another timeline which was the very same timeline of S3’s Flashpoint and the Speedforce allowed Barry to live in Flashpoint that’s why no Timewraiths were hunting him!
Hey you should make a video on phasing/vibrating, cuz as of now it seems like you can do anything. You can phase through ppl and kill them, you can phase through people and not kill them (zoom phased through caitln and she was fine) u can counter act a reverse flash by also phasing (nora tryna kill barry) you can become invisible, you can grab something through a wall which is weird cuz how do they control what they are phasing through and what they aren't. U can also break stuff (jay broke that cup) Also what happens if u stop midway through wall. Will the wall explode, do you get stuck in the wall, do u get every single atom split open and die? Also how do they control the phasing and not enter flash time, because u have to vibrate at a certain frequency so you can't just shake your arm as fast as you can. What does phasing look like to speedsters, since to us the arm is vibrating fast but to them in flash time they are just very slowly moving their arms and somehow it passes through stuff. Also they say different stuff is different frequency, so if there was a table, and stuff on the table, how do you phase through all of that stuff at once. If they can phase through anything, can't they just fall to the other side of the earth. He once phased a thing into the pillar to stop cicada, how come the thing was fully in tact. Theoritcally he should be able to phase out of stuff attached to him, so like if there was food in his mouth theoritcally he can phase and run really fast and the food would be left behind.
On a side note, can they control their lighting, cuz a speed mirage theoritcally should have the lightning in between. Also if he is running and suddenly 180s would he run into his own lightning.
That background music u got is def A1 makes me feel like I’m playing old Pokémon Red
I always figured Thawnes real agenda other than just "getting home" was that in the future, he has the tech, power and the ability to fully restore his speed, something he can't do in this time with the current level of technology and resources available, cause I feel like he would need something that's exotic to this current time to do it, something that's actively gettable in the future, something like a concentrated form of energy source or maybe a particle accelerator built to get to something no particle accelerator built today can get to. Anyway, after restoring his speed, he would've continued fucking around with Barry's life.
Also, side note here, but I think I figured out why Eobard managed to come back after being "erased" in season 1, remember how he said the negative speed force is immune to timeline changes? well even if he wasn't in it when he got erased, the fact that he has a connection to it prevented him from being completely erased, and instead just being dumped somewhere else in time or his speed force
Bro your so underrated still on 200k that's bs 💪💪
Great Video!
Still waiting for comix to do a video on how fast season 7 the flash is.
he’s about uhh 3 kilometers and 5 seconds slower than last season and we know this because you carry the one and uh multiply it by 1 and the divide it by 0 and you get 2 miles
How about the future that doesn't exist anymore? Why would Eobard want to return to a future that he's not even familiar with since he drastically altered the timeline by killing Nora? That's the only question I've been having for the past 6 years
i also
Probably because he didnt think of the changes to his future or maybe there wasnt any since he lives around 2151 and the changes probably arent major or there arent any theres really no reason but thawne isnt stupid. he probably knew his future wasnt affected because its too far
We not gonna talk about the cool cinematic shots for the intro?
Question: where did future flash go after he left Eobard in the past since his timeline was erased
I subscribed I love your videos on the Flash CW and other good movies/tv shows/ comic books
Love your vids man keep it up
Can you also talk about how it made sense that Thawne was still imprisoned if Cicada was cured? Like how does that make sense. The dagger disappeared from existence when baby Cicada took the cure so how was Thawne kept imprisoned by something that doesn't exist? The part about changes take time to solidify doesn't even make sense since the point in time baby Cicada took the cure and Thawne imprisoned are years apart
7:04 no Barry didn’t luck out in 3x15 into the speed force, the speed force explains that the only reason it didn’t punish Barry was because it was feeling bad because barry had just lost Henry as well
Yay your back to CW flash epic
I love how the way everything Barry does to save who he loves always ends up with Eobard Thawne coming back
I think you misunderstood the whole thing. If Thawne at the end of season 1 did not tell Barry to go and save his mother, the future he returned to would not be his because thawne killing Barry's mother is what created a new timeline for him and Barry saving his mother, his mother did not die in thawne's time, would set the timeline back to thawne's original one
Man I love your videos a bit too much
I just want to point something out that has nothing to do with the video. The titles of the finales for the first 3 seasons sound like the all fit together. Season 1: Fast enough Season 2: Race of his life Season 3: Finish line. FAST ENOUGH TO DO THE RACE OF HIS LIFE AND REACH THE FINISH LINE
Bro you are awsome dude I love ur vids
I wish they would use Matt Letscher more
One thing that confuses me in the season 1 finale of the Flash Eobard Thawne wanted Barry to go back in time to save his mother. However in the season 3 premier titled Flashpoint Eobard wanted Barry to allow him to kill his mother to fix Flashpoint. So shouldn't the version of Eobard Thawne from season 1 already know that Barry saving his mother would just create Flashpoint having already experienced it when he was younger?
I'm pretty sure either Thawne forgot just like everyone else forgot about Flashpoint except Barry because he created it, or he went back to his original future
@@marsmurderer9868Actually the season 8 Armageddon crossover proves that Eobard Thawne already knew about Flashpoint all the way back in season 1.
I mean, we can see the reason in the Flashpoint episode: he knows Barry could never stay in that reality permanently. It’s the ultimate way to torture Barry. And especially since Barry would have to ask Thawne for help to undo it, it’s extra cruel. Thawne said it himself: “you’ll never be truly happy, Barry Allen.”
It think that the Speed Force keeps copies of the previous timelines and that's where the past time remnants comes from and that's where Eobard went in s2 ep11. That's where past Barry would go such as the 2024 future in season 3 as it no longer exists in the main timeline but past Barry will end up going to a copy of it. Eobard may have been trying to go to a copy of his original timeline maybe.
This channel is underrated and you forgot Jesse quick Harry’s daughter
It kind of does make some sense though because thawne might of thought If Barry Saves His Mum Then Barry would become The Flash In 2020 Instead of 2014 and then thawne Would live in the same timelinr he did Before he killed wells
Did anyone else notice the break in the coffee mug when looks like the lighting bolt on Barry’s cowl?
The Reverse Flash should be the main villain of The Final Season of THE FLASH.
You should do a video about how the legends can time travel past crisis, but how Barry can’t
It took me uh minute ta find your channel... algorithm got hiding skills
Flash Writers: yah... yah. Write that down
finally an episode i can watch because its not spoilers
When Barry was in the speed force in season 3 the speed force tells him that they allowed him to do flashpoint that’s why time raiths didn’t go after him
He wanted him to grab past him so he could survive.
I love all Tom Cavanagh’s characters
At least we finally figured out why Eobart had such a hate boner against Barry,it's not just because he hates him,it's also because of the artificial speed force he created with rage as his power boost
The Negative Speed Force isn't the only place immune to timeline changes. The Waverider is too.
Actually Back to the Future works the same way too. Remember, the "branched" timeline was going to overwrite the other so Doc and Marty HAD to go and fix things. If the branch created a separate universe they could just hop onto their old one but that's not what they did. So basically not too different from Flashpoint.
He knew it would create a Flashpoint
here's the thing, Season1 "Pilot" is a Reverse Flashpoint. Eobard changed the timeline by killing Nora then replacing Well's.
When Barry creates the Flashpoint, Eobard probably had hoped it would restore the timeline close enough to how things were (something we see the other actor (not Tom) manage to do in "Paradox" but with the few small tweaks. But instead it caused a massive change, with Wallace being the Flash, Joe being a drunk, Cisko using his powers to sleep with Snarts sister and be a billionaire.
as for S1 finale Thawne's endgame, id assume it was what a Time Remnant WAS before the ret-con for the Zoom / Savitar crap. Well-Thawne would be protected in the speedforce when Barry saves Nora from past Eobard. That way, when the new timeline sets, Eobard returns to his time with his powers and no Flash. Meanwhile Wally's Flash would of died because, lets be real, Kid Flash was useless in Flashpoint. And other than one good scene in a later season, he is rubbish. Bart did more than Wally.
I think we're missing a big point here, Barry's mother being killed by thawne wasn't even supposed to happen in first place, even when you consider that Wally being Speedster wasn't supposed to happen either, but i think the fixed point of earth 1 is supposed to be Barry becoming the legendary version of the flash, because in the flashpoint was a problem because Barry didn't wanna lose his memories from S1.
Say Wally becomes kid flash in flashpoint before 2020, in 2020 Barry becomes the flash anyway. I believe thawne calculated everything except Barry being stupid enough mess up something that was literally spoon fed him, because even if everything went according to the original timeline or flashpoint, thawne would be safe anyway. Hence the whole 15 year waiting period of S1.
Just started rewatching season 1 today lol
1:50 not necessarily, you see in the original timeline Barry doesn't become Flash untill 2020, however Wally getting powers before Barry could easily be effect of changing the timeline, think of it like this, there is original timeline, Thawne goes back kills Barry's mom creating arrowverse timeline, Barry saves his mom putting timeline to how it was with some changes like wally becoming flash before Barry
I think it makes a little more sense if you see it from just a season 1 perspective, without the (even more) timeline breaking context of the future seasons.
Eobard knows that his interference in the past is the reason his connection to the Speed Force is fucked and why he is stranded. By letting Barry save Nora, he effectively restores the original timeline, therefore his original future, so he can go back and have his proper connection to his Speed Force back.
He is willing to go back to a world with OG Future Flash, if that means having his speed back proper and being able to go home.
i think, if thawne goes back in to the future and barry saves his mom, in the far away future, the timeline will become the original timeline line where barry gets his powers in 2020 and his parents are still alive
Why Barry didn’t get the time wraiths after him for making flashpoint is because the speedforce let him, it states that when Barry goes into the speed force in season 3 to save wally
He simply didn’t give a shit anymore
3:52 - That was not the show. That was just Jay Garrick. And they simply used that explanation for Flashpoint anyways.
Actually, I believe that the reason Barry doesn't have his powers in season 2 is because the particle accelerator goes off in 2020, and it takes place in 2016. That's why his speed is slowly fading, therefore he reverses the flash point keeping the original timeline intact
Can you make a episode showing how OG flash got his powers
3:18, now imagine if all those speedsters were in Crisis
Best way to put it, it would've put them in a time loop repeating the same timeline over and over again
Thawn tried to kill Berry in a fit of rage.
Thawn has always resorted to suicide if it kills Berry in every iteration.
When Barry went into the Speed force to save Wally, the Speed force told him that they just let him save his mom.
I aways wonder what the speedforce meant by "we" and had to correct herself and say i
It's simple....his goals are beyond our understanding.
I think he did it because he knew Barry inside and out, past and future, and also knew he wouldn’t actually do it. It took his dads death to finally push him over the edge
