Zoom | A Life Defined by Tragedy

Honestly, this story speaks a lot to Wally's sense of responsibility. He won't change the timeline for selfish reasons. Neither to save his best friend, or to save his children. The things Zoom believed all along.

[@MrHitmancheg]

The thing about Zoom is that he DID get his lucky break, something good finally DID happen to him. The accident that gave him powers healed his legs! He got what he wanted and more! He now had superpowers! But he was so consumed by self-pity and hatred for Wally, he failed to recognise that fate gave him a new lease on life. So instead of taking the chance to become something more, perheps even proving himself to be a "better hero" than Wally, he squandered it on his spite, he used all the power he had to ruin someone else's life. If there is any lesson to learn here, it's that self-pity and hatred will make you blind to all the good things that come your way.

[@NevinWest-w9e]

At least he ultimately redeems himself by sacrificing himself to save the universe from the Black Flash, something Thawne will never, EVER do.

I think both reverse flashes are some of the best villains created in fiction I really like the contrast between them too While Thawne would be like “it was me Barry, I killed your grandma so you would suffer and fail as a superhero” Hunter would be like “it was me Wally, I killed your grandma so you would grow as a person and become a better superhero” Both completely unhinged

[@milkiassamuel780]

Jesus Christ! I didn't know much about Zoom, and Hunter Zolomon may not be as petty as Thawne, but I like that he was once friends with Wally and had a similar background to Barry Allen but more messed up circumstances. I love how out of everyone, Grodd was responsible for his disabling, and while Wally's life gets better, Zolomon's continuously gets worse even despite his friend having access to time travel; that is actually an interesting conflict since we know time travel is a dangerous thing in the DC Universe. I love the idea of Zoom believing that what makes a good hero is a tragedy, and Wally must suffer so he can understand how Zolomon feels. I honestly understand where he's coming from, but while Thawne was motivated by a deranged petty obsession, Zoom is motivated by deep-seated pain and thirst for vengeance, which makes him all the more dangerous and what he did to Wally and Linda so unbelievably f*** up, and I thought Thawne was bad? BTW I love how Thawne essentially created his own Reverse Flash successor with Zolomon; much like Barry did when he gave Wally the Flash title. Honestly sounds totally in character with Thawne.

[@bensoncheung2801]

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

Peak Geoff Johns too.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

I don’t really understand why Wally has this repeated theme of dishing out fates far worse than death. It’s genuinely scary and feels like him not being a psychopath is a missing factor if writers are gonna keep doing that. Plus I know Zoom did something unjustifiably horrendous but Wally wasn’t exactly giving off vibes like he had this urge to rip Zoom’s head off due to their initial close friendship. Sure he was debating but something almost felt missing or lacking. But anyways, yeah, I definitely agree with what you personally felt about Zoom. Dude is irredeemable, and to commit such an unspeakably devastating act as obliterating somebody’s unborn twins like that and all but brag in their ear… with that in mind, it kinda makes me glad DC brought back Wally’s children and gave them a chance to become something. Thunderheart is a fun character and Surge’s abilities is such a good concept. As a side note, it is kind of a surprise that Wally didn’t at least consult with the other speedsters about time traveling to prevent Zoom’s creation. I understand the dangers but he had a power nobody should have and he could have torn the time stream to ribbons. I’d be willing to debate whether or not it’s worth the risk.

[@AYVYN]

I assume he just processes things faster like his healing, but who knows

[@DHell-n8i]

Except it no longer happened 😂 Hunter's rage and recklessness brought him to take the blast and undo the death of Wally's unborn children. And they can't undo his suffering nor the creation of Zoom because he doesn't exist in time anymore, any changes in time he won't be affected by unless it directly hits him.

[@smollmoth6376]

[@demon-hunter1498]

so this is something that I, in my hobby writing have come across. So to put it simply, you have a character, most likely the main, and you can't kill them. So what do you do? you hurt their mind, give them scars on their mantel health to the point that the ether almost or brake.

[@TheManyEyedOne]

​@@demon-hunter1498Yeah, but MCU or DCEU does a really bad job at it. I mean, it's true but they can just give their heroes a bunch of internal conflict why torture them like that? For example, Flash's strongest punch should be able to evaporate a Dwarf Star, he can time travel; these powers are obviously too strong for the story. The writers can just place mental blocks so that Barry Subconsciously rejects the idea of doing these things. Instead they just make him weak and dumb and fuck up the entire power system.

[@demon-hunter1498]

@@TheManyEyedOne yeah, for me I had to handicaps my character, mostly with if he uses his powers for too long or to much of at a time. Once for a story I had him fighting another who was faster then he was so he went all out with one of his forms, he lost mostly due to taking to many hits and using too much power. it's a hard balancing act, to much power and nothing can beat them, too little and the street thugs are beating them without a fight.

[@PrincessMatrix]

I've always found Hunter more interesting than Eobard. Just the fact that he had a real friendship with Flash before he went off the deep end made his story more interesting to read. He's the embodiment of the fan idea that superheroes need to be in a constant state of misery to be effective, as Wally was (At the time) of the few heroes that wasn't wallowing in his own self hatred.

[@nicktroisi6347]

Zoom was such a great villain in an incredible comic book run. I love that his powers are super unique to any Flash or even Reverse-Flash. I mean the ability to control time, exist on your own separate timeline and be able to peer into the past, already makes you one of the most powerful beings in the universe 5:34 idk why but that voiceover for Grodd killed me 😂😂😂

Prof Zoom is the alternative name for Eobart. Simply Zoom is Hunter's name (if it could not be possibly more confusing already)

​@@HELLO_KORO pretty sure that adds more confusion to be honest

[@legodcbricks3306]

I'd like to make one tiny correction by saying he Eobard is referred to as Reverse Flash/Professor Zoom whilst Hunter is known as just Zoom. The reason Eobard is called professor zoom is because it was a nickname given to him by his students in the future when he taught them about speedforce.

The realy tagic part when you realize that for hunter’s injury did not even truly need a time travel to fix his damaged spine, but simply a bit of restoration magic by a proficient user could have fixed Solomon’s spinal damage,no risky time travel involved, all those tragedies created by zoom were preventable if only wolly west had reached out to a known magic user that he was in “good”terms with or locate a Lazarus pit around the world and distill some of the enesium chemical and applied it to Solomon’s spine and that would have solved the problem, but now Wally has to live with this: if he had thought outside the box while he had the chance he could have (somewhat) prevented the creation of the hateful professor zoom and his wife(Linda) miscarriage

[@callmewhateveryouwant5263]

@@SvenFernado basically Thawne at first couldn't kill or majorly affect Barry to the point where it stops him from becoming the Flash because then it would never influence Thawne becoming the Reverse Flash therefore erasing him. At one point, Barry wanted to bring his mother back who was killed by travelling to the past and saving her from her murderer, essentially resetting the timeline many years back. While Barry was travelling back in time and rewinding the universe, The Reverse Flash was also time travelling and was basically disconnected from the timeline. When Flash finally reached the time he wanted to go to and saved his mother, it completely changed the events of the future, causing massive alterations in history and therefore a change in the timeline of the future which was supposed to erase or at least change the life of Thawne since the world was at war. With Thawne's case though, due to being disconnected to the timeline from time travelling, he was prevented from being erased by Barry's time travelling but he still originated and existed from a timeline that no longer exists, therefore having no past and no future, making him a paradox.

[@J3ZU35]

If going back through time and changing things creates chaos and loopholes. I’d assume pure time itself when left uncontrolled in the form of lightning and electricity in the past would create some kind of problem. Especially since the author didn’t specify that the powers dissipated instead it was “rippled through the time stream itself” so I can presume based on how Zolomon creates cracks in time all that uncontrolled power should theoretically destroy that specific time stream. Meaning that Zoom just didn’t exist at least not the best friend Zoom.

I love this video.😊 thank you for making it. Hunter Zolomon is one of my favorite characters, and you did him justice in this video. On your thoughts on whether he’s irredeemable or not. I disagree with you, but I see your point. It’s been pointed out that you can make a case that Hunter Zolomon is actually a realistic mentally ill person who needs therapy, unlike The Joker. That doesn’t justify his crimes, and I understand if you disagree with me, but in the right circumstance if he’s in prison and given therapy, he could likely reform. Tragically, in current comics, it may be too late for him. A character related to Hunter that I really am interested in tragically never lived up to her potential is Hunter's ex-wife Ashley Zolomon. Ashley Zolomon is a character that is just as interesting as Hunter and suffered as much tragedy as him, and while she didn’t break like her ex-husband, she’s been through a lot. Ashley Zolomon lost her father because of her husband's mistake, divorced her husband, and months later found out that her husband became a supervillain. She gave up her career at the FBI to help her husband. Aside from making peace with Wally West, she could not allow her husband and unfortunately disappeared because of the reboot, though she reappeared in flash #800. I said it before, but Ashley Zolomon is a character with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, because of her limited appearances, mainly because of the reboots, she never lived to her potential. What people don’t understand is what sacrifice Ashley Zolomon made for her ex-husband. Ashley Zolomon was a member of the FBI, and it showed that she was the best of the best even if it wasn’t stated, and she just walked away from her career to take a position that’s implied to be beneath her to help her ex-husband. Ashley Zolomon only said that her new job with a step down from her career at the FBI; I really wish that we had enough time to get her thoughts on her giving up her job at the FBI, and also not mentioned Ashley Zolomon must have friends and colleagues at the FBI, how would she have felt having to give up those relationships to get a new job that’s beneath her and how would they think about Ashley Zolomon throwing away her career to help her ex-husband. There, Ashley Zolomon's view of the divorce, it was made clear that Ashley views leaving Hunter as a terrible mistake and feels great guilt, she also made it clear that she will never leave Hunter again, and it’s implied that when she reformed him, she will remarry him. I would’ve loved to see Alshely's thoughts on her divorce before Hunter transformed into a supervillain and see her learn of Hunter's transformation and her decision to leave the FBI to help Hunter. I just wanted to mention this character because I’m also a big fan of Ashley Zolomon, and I hope she reappears soon in comics and gets a proper story. I wish someone would make a video of her, but I’m not sure if there’s enough info on this character for a video. But again, thank you for making this great video.

[@diegonolan7857]

I watched your Reverse flash video two days ago and after that i wanted to know who Hunter was and then you release this. Great video and thanks for fuelling my hyperfixation for the two characters

[@leblanc3536]

Doesn’t Wally know several people who could help with a broken spine?

[@jarodchen7667]

Eobard Thawne being behind Zoom is crazy 💀, man will go to any length to fuck with the flash

[@omnisystem6030]

I’ll be real but Zolomon had his OG fit on that’s how fire it was

[@Odinfang]

I’m not gonna lie y’all, Zoom not taking the time before ruining Wally’s life to break Grodd’s back and crucify him in front of all the gorilla people was a missed opportunity.

Sometimes I can forget how brutal the flash comics can be.

[@charlesman8722]

A flash exist: Eobard Thawn: and I took it personally.

[@pattymcgee2]

Awesome retelling

I do like how you did a video on Wally then his nemesis, keep up the great work!
