The parallels between Eobard's first time donning the Reverse Flash suit and his last are spectacular.
Here's the scene: You have a young 20 year old Wally facing off against Eobard Thawne. This was Eobard's first time travel adventure and he fully descended into madness. Eobard attempted to take over Barry's life but the Flash family stopped him. Enraged, Eobard took them all down one by one until it was just him and Wally left. It was a bloody showdown and an unfortunately placed pothole cost Wally critical seconds. Eobard was about to murder him when, out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning struck him. Wally thanked Barry, who had been dead for years at this point, and proceeded to kick Eobard's ass into the next century.
Then you have Eobard's last time as the Reverse Flash. Eobard had tried to take over Barry's life but the Flash family had stopped him. Enraged, Eobard sent the Rogues after them and went to go kill Barry once and for all. It was a bloody showdown between Thawne and Allen. Eobard got into Barry's head and shocked him with new information. Unfortunately, Barry's shock cost him valuable seconds and Eobard took that time to knock him down. Eobard was about to murder him when, out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning struck him. Barry could hear Wally, who had been missing for months and was halfway across the universe, and he made a promise to go find him.
I just think it's fantastic that Eobard's first and last time running went the exact same way. So much so that Eobard flipped out that it had happened again.
Not to mention Barry and Wally's love for each other in the form of strategically thrown lightning bolts that transcend life, death, and reality.
That bastard went out the same way he came in, being physically harmed by Barry and Wally's love for each other.
#god they're so fucking extra though#they never do this. literally barry had been dead without a trace and he had never done this before or done it again#but Eobard was threatening his KID goddammit#Barry wasn't gonna let a silly thing like death stop him from saving Wally's life#also i stg i think Wally just thought itd be funny#he was right#i mean he had dr wallyhattan powers at the time#so he really could've done anything#but he went 'you know what'd be REALLY fucking funny?' and I love him for it#dc#dc comics#the flash#kid flash#wally west#barry allen#eobard thawne
