RF has, in my opinion, the best arch-nemisis dynamic with a superhero ever put to the page. Even better than the legendary rivalries like Joker and Batman, Spidey and Green Goblin, Superman and Lex, etc. He challenges Barry in ways that really no other villain can, and it's so fun to read every time.
I agree wholeheartedly. Never has there been a villain so entwined with their hero counterpart, whose entire modus operandi is to make that hero suffer.

Thanks for expanding. Didn't quite get the videos reason. Hmm, I guess if RF always stays in the past he's "unkillable" even if that makes zero sense. Once the timeline gets to the RF origin he should be able to be killed. Though if they can travel to the future then same problem. It's silly cause The Flash can make anyone from any time immortal by going to them and bringing them to the future. Time travel is a big turn your brain off trope.
CW reverse flash was one of the best portrayals of a supervillain (s1 and sliiiiightly through s2 and s3) ive personally ever seen. He really proves his point of the fact that he truly just wants to kill Barry so badly and yet knows that doing so wouldnt allow for him to exist the way he does. So instead he does the nect best thing and just becomes a thorn (or a Thawne lol) in Barry's side, taking and taking until Barry breaks
At some point you come to the realization that Barry Allen The Flash is living in his own personal Hell, as if taking the life of this man's mom wasn't enough.
that was actually tru tho for the flashpoint reverse flash if it wasnt for batman killing him im sure he would've ended the flash and rewrited history after gaining immortality shit by being a living paradox when he vibrates ig
I will never not laugh at how he got the name in the tv series. Like nothing that rolled off the tongue, he was just named like a serial killer gets named 😂. Ah Cisco.
@MandatoryFruit not sure if you'll see this but could you explain why people say it gets bad? I've got a few episodes left in season 4 and I just started the series a few weeks ago. From what I understand season 4 was when it started not being as good but it just doesn't feel that different to me. Maybe because I'm watching it all at once and not waiting for different seasons but I'm still enjoying it. Sorry for the long message and even if you don't respond I hope you're doing well🙏
After season 5 it gets bad. Season 6 is bad and so it disappoints. Season 7 is so bad, you can't believe it's from this earth.

Like all of us, who have looked into the abyss of worst writing.
He actually regenerated from that very quickly and as punishment went to Bruce and beat him nearly to death before taunting Bruce about his father. Bruce is saved by Manhattan who turns Thawne into a steaming skeleton. Thawne quickly regens from that too and quickly sets up a casual little plot that KILLS ALFRED, destroys Gotham, ruins the Batfam and makes Batman fight his own father to the death. And this is just a casual little ‘I’m busy playing with Barry, here’s a little something I set up for you’ from Thawne. Crazy crazy set up/reveal Thawne is behind it all… and really doesn’t even care. He just wants Barry. Oh, ALSO cucked Batman, made his bride (Catwoman) stand him up at the altar. Thawne is eeeeeevil.

Well.. yeah except for the fact that he did and is currently no longer the RF. He was reset in the time line after Barry forgave him and then anchored him back to the timeline, thus causing RF Eobard to die and him to be reset in the 25th century as curator of the flash museum.
Say what you want about the CW but they helped boost a ton of DC characters whether already popular, known to some, or completely obscure. Heck they even followed in the tradition of other great silver screen adaptions and gave us a original character that lives on now in the comics with John Diggle, who while not as popular as Harley Quinn is still a great character and I hope we see him a potential DCU Green Arrow movie.
Well, think of Back to the Future when Biff stole the sports Almanac from the future. He was able to rewrite or recreate a timeline so he left a carbon footprint for a different future/world.
Despite terribly inconsistent and horribly written the cw show is, it does a good job at explaining some things about The Flash as a whole. For example, even though it was told once, the Star Labs gang told Barry that he needs to consume tons of calories or else he'll pass out.
I know this question will be answered with a paradox, but, what if Barry is removed from the board entirely? Dead, coma, multiverse, whatever! From what I am getting is that Barry is the link to the paradox. If anything, Thawne lives to mess with Barry. Remove the reason and see him crumble.
This whole character is written really well, and the gimmick that makes him immortal while also preventing him from killing the flash actually makes him alot more interesting
These shorts are too sick man, would love to see some 5-10 minute videos from you going over specific characters, moments, or arcs in comics from you :)
There are different variants of comic characters throughout DC but there is only ONE reverse Flash throughout all of DC he doesn't have variants of himself like Flash or Superman so if you read 30 different Superman comics most of them aren't the same Superman but every time you see reverse flash in a comic it's the exact same reverse flash just a different time in HIS life so no it isn't the same for everyone🤦🏾♂️
I'm glad you gave credit to cw flash tv show. Ik actually surprised that the logic used in the show still held up all to the final season, because after s5, Eric wallace took over and we know how that went.
He also single handedly held together the dc universe at one point, as much as he is a troll, he is a stand up guy, also ngl I much preferred Tom Cavangh playing him. Tom is a brilliant actor I could watch him in so much
The Arrowverse show actually explains that the negative speed force protects Thawne from timeline changes. That line from S3 was just Savitar trying to trick Barry into not killing himself.
My favorite explanation about Thawne being a living paradox is that explanation Doc Brown gave Marty when he tried taking the sports almanac to the past. In *normal* timeflow direction it would make sense for it to create a paradox, but for Thawne to get better and not fall for the same trick his future self did he has the power to just look up publicly available info of how Barry stopped him "a few days ago"
"every single time that we see him in a comic book, its just a different point in time in his life", this is true of every character tho, that's how time works lol
So glad you mentioned Dr. Manhattan bc Roarshak is just the shittake!!!!! "I'm not locked in here with you your locked in here with me" one of the greatest lines ever!!!!!
It's so interesting to me that a lot of Barry's villains are by his own creation. His time travel, him going to different Earths, all catch up to him and gives him more enemies.
The best explanation is that during the new that event, Reverse Flash didn't know what was going on, he admits he sometimes has to go around and read the papers to see what's going on in current events before he does anything because the knowledge doesn't pass when that Reverse Flash dies those events are only know to that RF and unless the new RF figures out what happens he has known idea. I think its kind of funny he could have tried the same plan 30 times over and not even know it.
Bro put himself on a time paradox just so he could troll some guy for eternity. Reminds me of Thanos bulling that one kid for his whole life for no apparent reason
Black Manta also technically isn't allowed to kill his hero but for editorial reasons, because it has been show that if Aquaman dies, Manta will just leave the villain business to live a peaceful civilian life.
I always thought about this with time travelers, if they die, another version of them would still just be out there in time and space until they accidentally retcon their own death
It's insane cause all this started by Thawn being a fan and studying the speed force because of his respect for flash. Then bro wanted to be the flash and there goes the neighborhood.
That’s one of my favorite quotes from Savitar in that show “cause and effect’s a tricky thing, didn’t work so well for Eddie did it? Shot himself in the chest, Thawn’s still kicking around, see that’s the thing about time travel Barry, the more you do it, the less the rules apply to you”
I love Eobard. He's the most ridiculously petty villain who has the most busted power shy of reality warping. And the fact that the guy he hates is the nicest guy ever makes him even better imo.
DC has so much potential on showing those cool concepts in theaters with realism and CGI but they seem to focus on competing with marvel at their game more than having confidence on their own stories

I'm glad you gave credit to cw flash tv show. Ik actually surprised that the logic used in the show still held up all to the final season, because after s5, Eric wallace took over and we know how that went.
He's one of the coolest villains by fair even hes look is dope
Timetravel always overwhelms me.
He also single handedly held together the dc universe at one point, as much as he is a troll, he is a stand up guy, also ngl I much preferred Tom Cavangh playing him. Tom is a brilliant actor I could watch him in so much
The Arrowverse show actually explains that the negative speed force protects Thawne from timeline changes. That line from S3 was just Savitar trying to trick Barry into not killing himself.
My favorite explanation about Thawne being a living paradox is that explanation Doc Brown gave Marty when he tried taking the sports almanac to the past. In *normal* timeflow direction it would make sense for it to create a paradox, but for Thawne to get better and not fall for the same trick his future self did he has the power to just look up publicly available info of how Barry stopped him "a few days ago"
Bro literally used all the save slots in life
"every single time that we see him in a comic book, its just a different point in time in his life", this is true of every character tho, that's how time works lol
Love the fact he said the savitar line to explain why reverse flash keeps coming back😂
I must be a paradox too, cause every single time anyone sees me... that is just another point and time in my life too
He has always been one of the most interesting characters to me his whole reason for existence is genius 💯
So glad you mentioned Dr. Manhattan bc Roarshak is just the shittake!!!!! "I'm not locked in here with you your locked in here with me" one of the greatest lines ever!!!!!
It's so interesting to me that a lot of Barry's villains are by his own creation. His time travel, him going to different Earths, all catch up to him and gives him more enemies.
So the reverse-flash is a lich whose phylactery is literally his arch-nemesis
sounds good
The best explanation is that during the new that event, Reverse Flash didn't know what was going on, he admits he sometimes has to go around and read the papers to see what's going on in current events before he does anything because the knowledge doesn't pass when that Reverse Flash dies those events are only know to that RF and unless the new RF figures out what happens he has known idea. I think its kind of funny he could have tried the same plan 30 times over and not even know it.
Bro put himself on a time paradox just so he could troll some guy for eternity. Reminds me of Thanos bulling that one kid for his whole life for no apparent reason
Black Manta also technically isn't allowed to kill his hero but for editorial reasons, because it has been show that if Aquaman dies, Manta will just leave the villain business to live a peaceful civilian life.

He'll always be his biggest fan.
Reverse flash is one of my favourite villains since how petty he is
The animated movies don’t get nearly enough love as they deserve
Season 1 of the flash did that pretty well
I like how this guy shows a page with Reverse flash telling Barry that he can kill him while talking about the opposite
You know Barry, I feel like we could do this dance forever…
My favourite super villain of all time
Cw flash shows first couple of seasons were really good
I grew to like his suit. Can't have your ketchup without your mustard
DC Execs: We can't just keep bringing characters back.
Flash writing staff: Hold my beer.
This is mental gymnastics at its finest
This clip has made me miss the flash tv show so much more Tom Cavanaghs Reverse Flash was amazing
reverse flash is one of the scariest villains because he basically like a super speed zombie hoard that remembers the last time u killed one of them
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
I always thought about this with time travelers, if they die, another version of them would still just be out there in time and space until they accidentally retcon their own death
The fact that Dr. Manhattan had to step in and "merc" Reverse Flash was kinda OP though! 😂😂😂
The definition of “To angry to die”
wouldn't be the first time i saw a bad guy in a yellow suit always come back
It's insane cause all this started by Thawn being a fan and studying the speed force because of his respect for flash. Then bro wanted to be the flash and there goes the neighborhood.
Imagine someone creates a magic barrier specifically for paradoxes just just so he can’t travel to a specific day
That’s one of my favorite quotes from Savitar in that show “cause and effect’s a tricky thing, didn’t work so well for Eddie did it? Shot himself in the chest, Thawn’s still kicking around, see that’s the thing about time travel Barry, the more you do it, the less the rules apply to you”
It’s also great tho because each one doesn’t want to die, because it’s like clones. Not the same EXACT guy every time
I love Eobard. He's the most ridiculously petty villain who has the most busted power shy of reality warping. And the fact that the guy he hates is the nicest guy ever makes him even better imo.
This is why he is my number 1 favorite villain from DC.
Everytime I see anyone, they are at a different point of their life too. That's how time works.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Let me introduce myself
DC has so much potential on showing those cool concepts in theaters with realism and CGI but they seem to focus on competing with marvel at their game more than having confidence on their own stories
Great example of how you greatly put yourself and your time at risk by being in the past.
