17:44 If zoom was stopped by a time wraith then, that means Barry’s dad is still alive, flashpoint was never created because Barry would have no reason to do so, and Savitar only exists post flashpoint, so he won’t exist, and Ralph is dead according to Thawne in season 1.

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

So we have 2 different endings then, the season 9 ending and the "the time force stops Zoom and only season 1 happens" ending basically, that or they just explain it as the Time Wraith pushed him out of the Speed Force and also erased his memory of seeing season 5 Barry and Nora so he just gets back on his mission in season 2, the rest of the show still happens

i always wondered why did wells say ralph died back in season 1. is he not even supposed to be alive right now?

[@helzbelle13]

29:39 - I was really hoping you were going to mention how it makes the itty bit of backstory we got for Eobard in season 1 ludicrous. In S1, Eobard tells Barry (in 2015) that he was born 136 years from that point, putting his birthdate in the year 2151. However, in Armageddon, (in late 2021) Eobard says that exactly 200 years from that point is when he first got his speed and his origin supposedly takes place.. but that makes Eobard 71 years old when he first gets his super speed and goes up against Barry… then after however many years of fighting, he goes back in time and kills Nora Allen, bla bla bla, and then spends 15 years in the early 21st century.. years later he spends another 15 years in the mid 21st century.. so… Eobard looks really great for a guy who’s clearly well over 100 years old!!!

When Thawne revealed that he killed the real Wells, didn't he also admit to setting off the dark matter explosion sooner than it happened in his own original timeline? Which means even the "clean" timeline from 4:00 is actually an offshoot from another one.

[@that1nerd756]

Well he does both in the same timeline. When Thawne originally got stuck in the past during season 1, he kills Wells because he needs to replace him to speed up the development of the Particle Accelerator. So it's not really another offshoot timeline, it's just season 1.

[@cobracommander4774]

Btw Central City is in Missouri, it's shown on a map in one episode, and in another one, Joe is looking through some sort of statewide database of driver's licenses or something like that (I forget exactly) and it says Missouri on the computer screen. Also the seal on the front of the file folder from Kramer's time in the military identifies the fictional Fort Dakota, at which she was stationed, as being in Missouri. Specifically, Central City is the fictional equivalent of Kansas City, Missouri, as shown by its precise location in the state when shown on a map, and by the fact that it has a "twin" city, Keystone City, comparable to Kansas City, Kansas, which is right next to Kansas City, Missouri. Side note: Deion mentions in a Season 7 episode that he was going to be the next Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes just so happens to be the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs in real life. But in the show, Central City's professional football team is the Sharks. So, in the Arrowverse, is Mahomes the QB of the Sharks, while the Chiefs don't exist? Or are there two major professional football leagues- the NFL and the fictional league that the Sharks are in- and Central City has a team in each league, meaning Mahomes is the QB of the Central City Chiefs? Or does Kansas City also exist in the Arrowverse but slightly north or south of where it actually is, because Central City occupies its real-life location within the state of Missouri? All of these are possibilities. It would have been so much less confusing if Deion just said he was going to be the next Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, or anyone else other than Patrick Mahomes.

[@GIGio_Official]

Holy shit. I love this comment. Thanks for the information and I love the fact that the show even is confusing in regards to its sports teams. Also lets not forget that Deon was playing football in the late 90's way before Mahomes was even in the league so in reality he should have said we was going to be the next John Elway or Brett Favre

Comic Thawne backstory is that he was a Flash fan so became the Flash of his time then Barry from the past showed up and then Barry and him got along but then Barry found out Thawne was causing crimes just to solve them so Barry went back to his time. Thawne was upset and so went back in time to see Barry again but then found out Barry had a whole life without Thawne and he got upset that his relationship with Barry wasn’t special and then found out that he’s supposed to be his enemy through the Flash museum and became the Reverse Flash Now he’s a living paradox that’s can’t really be killed cause another version of him exists throughout the time stream This is why i love Thawne.

7:30 it actually makes complete sense when you go insane, time remnants are fragments of timelines that don’t actually exist, but exist because they need to to make the current timeline exist, if they’re stopped before they cause said timeline (like the reverse flash) bad things happen, but if it’s after like Zoom’s time remnant presumably was, it causes no ill effects on the timeline, as its the equivalent of killing an alternate earth version of yourself.

At this point the teacup example that Jay used in season 3 has been grounded to dust, maybe even atomized. Time travel is never straightforward, so you either need rules like Steins Gate, or comedy like Back to the Future. But that's expecting too much out of Flash writers.

[@GIGio_Official]

Very true. It's such a waste to set up rules only to ignore them at every turn

[@adamingram04]

I remember an interview with one of the writers around season 3, and he said they were driving themselves crazy in the writers room trying to figure out rules from time travel and how to keep things consistent and he said they had a major breakthrough when they realized it was all made up anyway and they could just create the rules as they go. And he said this as if it was a good thing. I knew at that point that the time travel would never be anything close to consistent

[@oliverqueen9886]

Yeah. There have been lots of times throughout the show where I have been confused with stuff. For example 1. How Reverse Flash is still alive after Eddie killed himself. It sort of made sense seeing him only exist in the past as a timeline remnant during s2 and s3. But it didn't make sense seeing him alive in earth x crossover and seeing him in s5 future and later seasons. Plus its strange him not using his real face played by Matt. S1 timeline made sense to look like wells but after that timeline only matt should play him. 2. Savitars origin story is very confusing as well. 3. Some of the time travel changes are confusing. 4.

Actually the lack of time wraiths in season 1 make sense. The first time Barry “Time traveled” he didn’t really time travel, kinda just turned back time, explains no time wraiths. The second time he time traveled (In the finale) the reason there were no time wraiths was because thawne was there. In season 2 episode 17, Barry encounters his first time wraith and when thawne finds out Barry isn’t his Barry, he reveals that he knows how to keep out of the way of time wraiths.

Thanks for bringing up my issue about Henry and Jay

[@thetruesora]

on Supergirl that show had other universe's doppelgangers show up. in one episode she goes to a bar she's friends with the owner and him and his doppelganger then became co-owners and live on earth prime as brothers. speaking of the rules and inconsistencies, that show was ok with post crisis having people popping up on earth prime while on Batgirl there being 2 of Kate's sister around meant their existence was hurting each other that one had to die

[@GIGio_Official]

The arrowverse has no consistency when it comes to the effect that other shows and crossovers have on each other

[@thetruesora]

​ @G.I. Gio ironically legends of tomorrow is my favourite by owning up to its wacky nonsense and wearing its craziness openly. I can't remember which show it was for but one of the producers i think admitted there wasn't really much communication between the shows to know much of what the post crisis version of for the previous seasons of each shows then looked like. it was just "well if you want to reuse an old villain then you can change it to whatever you want it to be now". as for inconsistencies, i think between the flash (even within itself) and legends of tomorrow, i'm sure they've used time remnant usually to refer to the past self that is now on a different path but a few times they've called the version that travelled back in time as the time remnant. like in the second season finale of LoT the future versions of the legends i think are referred to as remnants at one point when it should be their past selves. that might be me either mishearing or misremembering it. One side note that also about "trouble with timelines and stuff" is that they had it be because Harry and Jessie were on Earth 2 they weren't affected by Flashpoint and when they returned in season 3 they were able to see that there were changes. suggesting there's a rule that if you're on another earth then you're free to remember your timeline and be unaffected. which feels like it should have some implications. but its just an asspull to say "er yeah post flashpoint they're still ok as we don't wanna deal with what differences they might have gone through". its brought up by them not knowing the "new time lab" or whatever it was that wasn't there pre-flashpoint. surely it would have been fine to have them recognise it from their experience in the rewrote version of season 2 but ok. anyway, kinda rambled a bit there but great videos and look forward to your one talking more about season 8 and all others you make :D

[@rafikshaheed4271]

Eddie is Eobard’s ancestor. When Eddie killed himself, Eobard Thawne/ Reverse Flash is never born, which should erase all of Season 1 for if Eobard was never alive, Nora Allen wouldn’t have died, Henry wouldn’t be in prison for 15 years, and particle accelerator wouldn’t have been created, meaning Barry Allen would not have become the Flash.

[@MinecraftJimmy7951]

I don’t think Thawne was being serious when he said “You just ran out of luck” about the Time Wraiths. I think it was a little joke. What I think the reason they didn’t attack Barry in season 1 is because the speed force knew what was going to happen so they show Barry a speed mirage of his future self time traveling and then Barry time travels and alters the timeline, saving Central City. Like the speed force told Barry that they let him create flashpoint because it knew Barry was hurting from his father's death in season 3.

[@TheHaas123]

2:57 central city is in Missouri, most people generally say it’s around where Kansas City is, so near the Kansas border.

[@zandermacintyre6879]

I didn’t realize this before but I like how they killed reverse flash who is immune to paradoxes with a paradox but Zoom who is just a regular speedster was completely unaffected by a paradox

[@jaxxpool9630]

There are a few more details I should mention that breaks the lore of the Arrowverse after Crisis. "pulls out presentation stick" 1. Apparently Jay is alive because Henry Allen is dead on Earth 1, so Jay can't get erased. But.....that doesn't make sense either. I need to point out the matter that Jay and Henry would've grew up on the same Earth together, which means they've should've both died a long time ago or something. 2. When Thawne created Reverse-Flashpoint, it should've permanently erased the present timeline that Team Flash lives in. Ex: You know when Despero murders all of Barry's friends? .....That shouldn't have been possible because the timeline should be gone. 3. Gio, you should use this for your Season 8 video. The Negative Forces want to kill Barry because he disrupted the cosmic balance or something when he took Thawne's speed.....Yet there's not problem with Thawne trying to kill Barry all these years? Also, isn't it confusing that the Negative Forces have existed since the beginning of time when Barry created the Positive Forces? "puts away presentation stick" Whew, that took a lot out of me. You know, I keeping hearing people say that Flash has always been bad. But seasons 1 and 2 at least were pretty self contained. In fact even if I were to agree that those seasons are bad, I would say it's not because Barry is dumb.....It's because the villains are underpowered and might not be as competent as their comic versions.

[@thundervolt1018]

I’m just confused, since the Negative Speed Force was something Thawne made to combat the actual Speed Force that Barry had. So how would the Negative Speed Force be there since the beginning of time if it was made as a sorta rip off the the og Speed Force

[@thetruesora]

i thought they went with "Jay and Joan transferred over to earth-prime they were remade as separate people and no longer alternate doppelgangers of Henry and Nora"? that still doesn't cover the other issues of them growing up on the same earth and having the same face as Barry's parents but yeah officially i'm pretty sure its that post crisis and the newly formed earth-prime included having it be "these people are universally recognised as earth-prime Jay and Joan, not earth 3(?) Henry and Nora". However, that doesn't fully cover it as there's the question of Jay's appearance on Stargirl. According to the actor its supposed to be the same version of Jay which would suggest that post crisis he's from THAT Earth and then at some point in the last decade ish moved to Earth Prime

[@GIGio_Official]

Explaining this timeline is a running joke in my family cause both my dad and sibling cant really get it. It goes over their heads. At least my sib gets multiverses while my dad is still confused after watching loki I had to explain it and he still only gets half of it. So whenever I just want to make them confuse I just start talking about this timeline with the little knowledge I have cause I droppedthe show after the Thinker was the villian.

You Know Sonic the Hedgehog is One of the Few Speedsters that Doesn't Time Travel,Sure the Franchise had Time Travel Before with The Chaos Emeralds,Science,Magic,or Cosmic,but Sonic 06 at least made the Timeline Works from Beginning,Middle,and End,Why Am I Saying This? Because I would Rather Play Tons of Sonic Games than to Deal with Flash's MESSED UP TIMELINE,Seriously What in all the 10 Hells Happen,This is a Disaster that Fried My Mind that Drinking a Galon of Coffee made me Focus that losing My Mind,Yes the Flash can Rely on Time Travel Story,but it's a Limited Thing,the Series made it Worse,Anyway I'm Looking Forward for the Next Video Tearing Season 8 Apart because KZbinrs like Airrick and Pagey Trying to Supporting the Flash Sickens Me.
