Hey Youtubers, it's Charlie so the actor the plays any Thawne confirm he's coming back
to the show so we got a break this down.
He didn't say exactly which episode he's gonna come back for but there couple theories about
what can be going on and why they're bringing him back now.
So there's a new round of the flash ring giveaway that starts now.
All you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave a comment on this video winners
are usually announced at the end be sure to click that bell to enable alerts so that you
don't miss anything.
So many things going on here.
So we'll talk about who he might be how they might use them in the future and why they're
bringing him back now.
So, they always bring the big characters back.
But number five I think the biggest reason they're bringing him back it just sort of
a way to get the fans and trying to fix the character just a little bit because he started
out in season one, when they first teased them and they explain what his name was everyone's
like oh my got what's what's going on here.
He was one of those things where they take a name from a really big character like the
biggest character from the flash is villains gallery and then sort of pair that with the
characters you never heard of it with a Backstory that's unfamiliar so any Thawne is not somebody
from the comics but they hadn't explained that the reverse flash was going to be the
big villain eobard Thawne.
So this was just meant to show you that he can go in any different direction.
Sort of like storm clouds on the horizon like whose substance can be happening with his
character, but what ended up happening is kind of unfortunate because he ended up getting
sidelined in this melodrama plot where he and Barry were competing for Iris's affections.
I don't think the dudes that were watching the show were very happy about this and I
don't think that the Iris fans that were watching were happy about it either because she didn't
really have anything to do during season one other than be the object of affection like
she was the prize that was won by either Barry or Eddie, so rewind back to the first half
of the season.
They do provide some context for Iris's character how she grew up with Barry how she was so
important to him that she really didn't exist without Barry or without Eddie's storyline,
so I think everybody was just really unsatisfied with the way that it up happening, so they
wanted to fix that in the back half of the season so they completely changed what their
original plans were for the characters.
So number four what was that original Eddie Thawne plan like over.
They originally going to do with the character before they decided to kill them off because
Andrew Kreisberg the show runner said that originally they had something totally different
in mind they were going to kill them, but when they did use him get sucked up into the
singularity with the talisman on.
So he got to be the hero, but that is are like tease that something really big was going
to be happening later on in season two like who there very clearly setting something up
comic book rules.
If there's nobody that he's not dead.
So originally allowed people had theories that Eddie Thawne would be the season to villain
because his character had Hunter Solomon's back story from the comics with a Thawne name,
so people like who may be he's going to be the zoom of season two he'll be like the big
bad because Barry still his girlfriend.
So in explaining it.
That way you kinda see the problem with that like they didn't want to turn Iris into the
object of affection in that way.
So I think they just pivoted their plans.
But originally I think their plan was is to make Eddie more of a season two villain person
in the way that arrow did the same thing with Slade Wilson in the first two seasons.
So if you didn't watch arrow what happened in the first season is that you meet Slade
Wilson and anybody that reads comics is like oh my God this is deathstroke and he's friends
with all of her on the island what's going on here.
This is so crazy where the gonna take this season two that plays out.
He becomes the deathstroke character in a became one of the best seasons of arrow ever
do because the same people that make arrow started making the flash it sounded like they
were sort of repeating that paradigm.
But then about halfway through decided to pivoted and double down on the Jay Garrick
storyline set that up and make him more of a thing in season two during season two they
took actual Hunter Solomon and sort of pair that with the Jay Garrick storyline and is
much as that made people upset like long time, comic book readers are like oh my God, you're
telling is that Jay Garrick is evil.
So before the big twist at the end where they reveal it is actually secretly Hunter Solomon.
This been pretending to be Jay Garrick people really upset, even long time flash comic book
writer Mark Wade who the flash TV show borrows a lot of stuff from was really upset for the
explain.
The twist he was this big thing that people get upset at TV shows all the time.
So it was kind of funny watching you know like old, comic book writer shake their fists
and stuff, so I actually think that the show chose the lesser of two evils the of the chose
to not recycle the deathstroke arc from arrow, but in doing so he kind of threw themselves
into like this big Jay Garrick twist that played out like relatively okay could've been
a lot better, but number three.
The other logic problem.
I get so many questions about this if any Thawne died at the end of season one the reverse
flash of that moment was erased from existence.
How did he come back alive and well during season two of this gets into time travel rules
one of the problems with Syfy TV shows is that sometimes you have an actor or a character
like Ora storyline.
The just has so much chemistry and works so well you want to find a way to capitalize
on that later on, but if there dead you have to find a way to explain how they came back.
So the beauty of the reverse flash is that he is basically the smartest person in this
universe.
Maybe next to Jesse quick but the way they tease Jesse quick is that she's smarter than
Harrison wells from earth two, so one of my favorite lines from him during season one
is when he actually says I'm a genius where I come from imagine what that makes me here.
So because of the way he exists in flash Canon is like the biggest villain that Barry as
ever had ever will have is that he sort of the Baltimore in has whore cruxes plans in
case he dies so because he's a time traveler.
Doctor Who style is a lot of different versions of him that overlap traveling through time
trying to get rid of Barry Allen or bring some evil plan to fruition.
So even just on earth one in our universe there multiple versions of eobard Thawne.
They're all aware of each other like he understands time travel like no one else when you messed
with time travel.
We learned during season two the time wraiths will come for you.
The reverse flash is one of the few people that knows how to keep off their radar.
So he's able to time travel in a way that the other flashes are.
But the simplest explanation for how eobard Thawne is still alive after Eddie killed himself
is one because of flashpoint, now but to because of a speed force protective bubble like a
speed force whore cruxes.
So even if you haven't read the comics earlier this season.
Jay Garrick explained that the speed force is sort of a nexus of space time it exists
out of normal space time so if a younger version of the reverse flash is traveling back through
the speed force.
When older reverse flash gets killed in the speed force protects that younger version
from the consequences of Eddie's death.
So as of season two that's really the only way that Eddie can still be dead in the reverse
flash on earth one can still be alive because number two you know which version of Eddie
is this going to be.
So like I said flashpoint happen this season.
It could choose to bring back Eddie V of flashpoint, but I feel like that creates more problems
than it's worth.
And you have to explain why he's not around all the time on earth one, the easier explanation
is that is earth two Eddie we learned during season two is alive and well.
Based on Barry's phone there still friends.
We have no idea how different he is the just teased his name like oh Barry talks to him
on a regular basis he's on his speed dial so clearly there friends he's doing well this
is great.
So this season.
They will be going back to earth to eventually so that be my first boat is that when they
go back to earth two just find a way for Eddie to show up, you guys can let me know which
version of Eddie you want them to use.
I just feel like the Jesse quick is a really good example of why multi-verse characters
are the best way to explain why people aren't around.
So Jesse quick is the flash of earth two they have all the same types of problems that they
have on earth one.
Maybe not savitar level problems, but they still have villains running amok so team flash
on earth two is the exact same thing, the team flash on earth one does she's very, very
busy, so she can just come over and hang out all the time in the other thing about earth
two or three you know multi-verse characters is part of the fun is that you get to learn
how their life is different and what's different about them or they a villain on a different
earth, we can learn about all the adventures that they had that we didn't get to see because
it was in a different universe, so number one though what about turning Eddie into a
villain or a speedster in the future season like cobalt blue style doing something really
crazy.
Some big twist with him the original plot line of season one to season two like I said
sounded like they wanted to do that with him use him as more of the Hunter Solomon zoom
character turn that twist from the comics into a big thing, so in the comics.
Hunter Solomon is a police detective that works with the Wally West character inside
the Central city Police Department gorilla Grodd attacks the city his spine is broken
so he can't walk anymore and Wally refuses to go back in time to change it.
So in his grief, Hunter Solomon tries to use the cosmic treadmill to fix it himself gets
into an accident and it gives him powers, turning him into the zoom character.
So that's comic books zoom TV zoom was like a completely separate thing, so I don't think
the gonna do that but I did it is totally possible they could pick one of the other
lesser speedsters to make Eddie Thawne some future villain Orson a small twist but I feel
like if they did that it would be like the rival he be around for a couple episodes,
it would be like a really small thing.
He wouldn't be the main villain.
Let me know if they bring Eddie back and turn them into a villain in the future season which
character do you want him to be was can happen next is that unless they drop some footage
him and to be doing a Legion trailer video is basically X-Men Breaking Bad for the most
powerful X-Men character ever.
It's a new TV show that's going to be on FX networks in the United States, it's gonna
simulcast internationally on Fox channels.
So I'll explain when I post a trailer video that can be a Thursday show going forward.
