If you have amnesia and a guy you just met looks at you like that and says he knows you, chances are that he's right. I'm really surprised Eobard didn't take Barry seriously.

​@Jaeger19Ultima, yeah, but the speedforce erased that part of him like it never happened, but it would be cool tho if that happend

People never believe things like that in fiction, wouldn't be as entertaining if Thawne just believed Barry.

Sad part is this Eobard is a glimpse of how he was when he idolized the Flash, before he was corrupted by the Negative Speed Force. I wish they would have brought him back in the end so he could have a happy ending.

[@dumbanimenerd4169]

I dont think Thawne was corrupted by the negative speedforce. Thawne created it. What he was really corrupted by was the realization he was destined to be his heroes greatest enemy. So its sorta Barrys distrusting nature here that makes it like... Yknow Thawne used to be a fan of yours before he was pushed away? Maybe its not so good to recreate the scenarios that created your nemesis?

[@hp2546]

@@Unknown-zn3ws Make sense because back then, when he just started reading stories about The Flash, he started out as a fan who idolized The Flash. So when Thawne lost his memories, he only kept the memories about himself believing in the positive side. He most likely knew nothing about the negative force back then. He was a good man until that speedforce became a negative force and that would be how he was corrupted. Just like when we saw Flash getting the good Thawne to join, he wasn't competitive and wasn't trying to become better then The Flash. It is just like when Barry's son Bart had a mentor August was a good person until that speedforce corrupted him.

Almost. This Thawne is the remnant one who sought the Spear of Destiny, got erased by Black Flash but was later resurrected as the guardian of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination, which is a fixed point. Yes, the same remnant who was present from Flashpoint, who remembered everything his original self (disguised as Harrison Wells and made the Reverse-Flashpoint) until his erasure. The only irony is that Flashpoint issued 2 facts : Savitar was an evil remnant of the Future Flash and this Eobard Thawne is the redeemed remnant of his original self as Reverse-Flash.

Then, the Speed Force brought him back powerless as a guardian of a fixed point in 1914, which he stayed loyal to his death (an android Sara Lance stabbed him). The following? That's this episode, which explains why and how Thawne's remnant was brought back, in parallel to what happened to Thawne in Armageddon.

I forgot that Thawne was his adversary in 2040-2060… and didn’t do the comic book origin where Thawne was born like 100 years later, figured out how to gain speedster powers and then met his dead idol, only to be told “go home Buddy.” Was about to ask how this was the original… kind of hate that they used “reverse force is evil” for the reason Thawne became Barry’s nemesis… made no sense, since Barry has used his speed force for his own gain regularly. Savitar used the speed force… I’ll watch the last season and hope that the ending is Barry hugging Thawne and telling him everything is going to be okay… but this Flash was written too cold and too “sees the world in black and white” for it to happen.

But then in the 7th season of Legends of Tomorrow, he got killed by an android clone of Sara Lance who stabbed him and he died again. Afterwards, the Speed Force rewarded his efforts of protecting the timeline by resurrecting Eobard powerless, but amnesiac, though still retaining his excellent intellect.
