Sure.

It's a little weird dealing with comic book adaptations these days. If it was 20 years ago then all bets would be off since almost all movie/tv adaptations didn't give a **** about the source material and would arbitrarily make big changes or omissions because it was a week-day ending in "Y".

Nowadays, adaptations tend to be more faithful to the characters and spirit of the originals but may still make changes to particular storylines (or create whole new stories) often to simplify continuity since we're often dealing with decades of back story in the source material. So when it comes to specific details it's pretty difficult to predict with any certainty what they're going to do.

Given that RF looks white and Iris is black, it is unlikely.

Fly,

They implied in dialogue from the main cop that Wells just showed up exactly when Barry's mother died. The line was something like 'I did some digging into you and there doesn't seem to be any record of you before that day'.

I dunno anything about all the other speedster and etc but with that and the paper the show has hinted heavily that he isn't the "present timeline Wells'.

Also the line indicates that Wells isn't his real name or if he is he isn't alive now. The problem with that is he would be like thirty in the present assuming the 2024 paper is when he travelled from.

My theory based on little is Wells is a speedster from the distant future and travelled to 2024 to avoid "the crisis" or at least save Barry from anti Flash, maybe the crisis is something which makes everyone a meta human, but he failed as Barry was "disappeared" and he is the hero so presumably only he can stop the crisis, so Wells grabs the paper and jumps back 24 years chasing AF.

The attack in 2000 was on young Barry and Wells was able to stop it by speeding Barry away (his mother died instead). The missing link is how and why AF travelled forward 14 years but it does explain Wells helping Barry at every point.

I think the most likely theory is that Wells is a spawn of Thawne, and he obviously can't use his real name in that situation.

IMO RF is Eddie from a little bit in the future. He was already kinda anti-Flash, and Flash is clearly gonna end up screwing up his relationship with Iris. I think it's even possible that Iris dies (this could happen in the future, shown by flash-forward), really setting him over the edge. He learns Flash's identity and while digging into STAR Labs, somehow ends up with the yellow suit (perhaps being given directly by Wells or just stealing it) gaining powers due to yellow suit's tachyonification, including time travel. Goes back in time to kill mommaflash in revenge.

But then there was that second meeting and he had an excuse for it.

Exactly. if he's from 2024, but traveled back in time to like 1998 to kill Barry's mom, that means for most of his adult life there have been two of him.

Oh yeah I didn't think about that. Because there were two fast guys there.

OK, well, so none of that makes any sense yet.

Here's another bizarre set of questions: What the **** was the RF talking about on the football field? He was rambling about destiny and ****. Is that about a timeloop or reincarnation or what?

It's the CW. Iris will be the aids for years to come. No possible death.

If this is going on then you would think wells would be more phased to get beaten up by his own suit thief

Here is the thing that gets me.

If Wells is from the future and The Flash existed in the future, who created The Flash the first time? Seeing as The Flash would have come into existence anyway why did Wells need to be responsible for creating The Flash this time?

Maybe this will be something that is ignored.

That is a time travel paradox.

But the question is, if Flash is going to exist anyway there is no need for him to create him anyway, so why bother?

If he needs to be involved with him there are numerous ways he could have done it.

In one of the episodes The Flash disappears from his future newspaper, so he obviously needed to create him or make sure he's still around in the future.

Reverse-Flash stuff

Spoiler:
At the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour this weekend, Tom Cavanagh confirmed that his Dr. Wells character is the Reverse-Flash, but producers also said to not count out Eddie Thawne's character still being involved in the Reverse-Flash part.

So basically it sounds like they are both going to be Reverse-Flash at different points.

If Cavanagh said that, it makes me doubt it is true. Pretty big bombshell to drop at such an event.

Holy crap!

Spoiler:
He really did admit it. As someone who first said, in this thread, that Wells was RF, you would think I would be happy, but I don't agree with the way it was revealed.

It's probably true, but:

That doesn't mean he's the only RF

Cue marketing tie in:

Spoiler:
"Who is the real RF?" or "Will the real RF please stand up?"
