The Flash The Flash, Episode 9: The Man in the Yellow Suit

[Asteroid-Man]

OMGOMGOMGOMG. Best Episode Ive seen from both Flash and anything Arrow has done. Wow.


What if Future Wells/Reverse-Flash travels back in time to lend a hand in helping Present Day Wells in becoming the Reverse-Flash.

This is my thinking. But I think both "Present" Wells and "Future" Wells are from the future and that Eddie is his ancestor.

 

[Cain]

It is everything you can ask for in Flash live action. WOW.

No it actually isn't; and I really like the show.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, there is so much more that could be better. But it's still pretty awesome.

 

[Paradox1]

fabulous episode

 

[raisethe3]

Great episode, but the ending puzzled me.

 

[SpideyVille]

I really wonder how the team dynamic will change if Wells is indeed the RF who killed Barry's mother and is outed to everyone.

 

[The Apocalypse]

A great mid-season finale. Someone explain RF to me though. I'm not big into Flash comics. I only know the jist of some of the stuff.

My goodness, I literally teared up when Barry was talking to his dad. That really got to me. And the scene where Barry reveals his feelings to Iris....oh man. Grant Gustin is SUCH a likeable, relate-able guy, he's more of a Peter Parker than Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire combined. He just feels like a real, ordinary, modern young guy. Gustin really deserves all the accolades for his performance on this show. In fact, if I may be so bold to say, I wish that the Barry Allen in the comics were more like Gustin's version. Yes, I said it.

All in all GREAT Mid-Season Finale. I love this show. Coming from a lifelong Marvel Comics fan who never cared about the Flash, this show has made me a HUGE fan.

According to the comics, Eobard Thawne is the descendant of Malcom Thawne, who is the twin brother of Barry Allen, was given away to the Thawne family. Unless Eddie comes from a different Thawne family altogether (seems unlikely), he must be either Malcom Thawne or Eobard Thawne. I think its safe to say that the RF that appeared was Eobard Thawne and Wells is RF. Being in 2 places at once is already complicated, its unlikely Eddie is RF cause that means he would have to be in 3 places at once (Wells, Eddie and Man in Yellow). That means, Eddie is Malcom Thawne. Hope anyone more familiar to the comics can shed some light on to this.

 

[The Caped Knight]

OMG great episode and the battle between Flash vs. Zoom was awesome and I TOLD YA I CALLED IT!!!!

 

[The Caped Knight]

So wells is RF- curious why he's trainig Barry and taking to him as a mentor

He's Prof. Zoom, this how he operated with Wally in the comics. He befriended him and help him to become a better Hero before he sought out to tear him down (basically he used the whole terminology "Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.)

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

I hope Eddie will decide to stop the task force on "The Flash" and focus "The man in the yellow suit"

I hope the present Dr. Wells is trying to redeem himself from his future self.....wouldn't that be nice?

I think you may be overthinking this. I'm not an expert on the comics, but I'm thinking that there is no Malcolm/Barry twin character in this story. My guess is it's like this:

Eobard Thawne/RF is Eddie's descendant, hence the reason he didn't kill him. Wells is Eobard/RF, and he can be in two places at once because he's clearly a time traveler. The RF we see beat the crap out of Wells is either a past or future version of him. None of the characters on the show realize this though, so that's why it will likely take them a long time to realize RF and Wells are the same.

The only feeling I can't shake is that all of this, even the scene at the end, is a red herring. Wells seemed too obvious from the beginning, and even though it seems clear now that he's the bad guy, I feel like there is something else we don't know.

 

[Syncer]

Does anyone here still have any hope/belief that Eddie Thawne may become a reverse flash?

 

[souNdwAve89]

This was a great season finale.

 

[Nathan]

Only mid-finale.

 

[Cain]

Professor Zoom didn't do that to Wally. Zoom did. They're two very different characters in terms of personalities and power sets. They're not really interchangeable despite both being reverse flashes.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I love seeing the Flash Ring, Hopefully that means that Barry will get his suit from the ring eventually.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Does anyone here still have any hope/belief that Eddie Thawne may become a reverse flash?

I'm not sure at this point but I sure do hope they make him an interesting character at some point.

 

[Cybermaxis]

Great episode with everyone hitting their acting marks. Wasn't expecting Ronnie saving Barry's butt. Wells, oh sh********!

I didn't read the comics either, but my theory was based on the Allen family tree shown in this link http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Allen_Family

 

[The Apocalypse]

Are they going to let Barry's dad out of prison now that two cops plus a swat team saw this guy?

 

[Paradox1]

That is what I'm thinking. The Reverse Flash that killed Barry's mom was in my opinion Eddie Thawne. I believe the future Eddie was the man in the yellow suit today which is why he paused at his former self. I think there is a future Barry out there living in retirement somewhere buying time till he's needed for something big.

 

[kvz5]

What a fantastic episode. There's so much to process that I'm going to need a re-watch.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

is Prof Zoom consider Barry greatest villain? similar to Superman Luthor and Batman Joker?
