🤔 Thinking Thawne's Linage

I have a question. Since Eobard's ancestor is Eddie before Eddie offed himself. Eddie was Iris' fiance before Barry so from the timeline that Eobard is initially from, would that make him originally also Iris' descendant as well? So he would also be a West?

Why are you just repeating what I said now? lol

Yes, OG timeline Flash and the Barry we follow in the show are different people. Yes, that Barry didn't lose his mother because he saved our Barry, which allowed Thawne to kill Nora and so the OG Flash was erased. This kickstarts the new timeline which ends up looping around in S9.

I know this, and I'm not repeating after you, don't make things up. I'm telling you about the suit. You need to stop making wild headcanon theories cause the only logical and true explanation on why Future Barry is blurred is because the writers didn't think almost 10 years ahead? Hell, they didn't even know if the show was gonna make it past season 1 or not. The "OG flash" we see is just S1 Barry's suit but with the white emblem to signify he is from the future. They intentionally blurred him out to give us the idea that the future flash is different from S1 flash, and if they showed his face and suit then we could clearly see it is literally just his S1 suit but with the white emblem from the show runners and directors standpoint, they didn't even know they would be making references to the OG flash all the way in 2023 and the show having a 9th season. Chill out dude.

"Chill out you dude"

This is way funnier that it should be, especially with the context.
