Board Thread:The Flash discussions/@comment-104.238.169.21-20151108090141

I had already written this in the General Discussion Forum, but I thought it would be more fitting to put it here. ImperiexSeed has already informed me of some issues relating to my view of each speedsters speed (you will read that later on). I would like more discussion on the topic as it is fun to theorise these things.

Here it is-

''THEORY STUFF- Ok, so since the start of Season 2 I have had the wonderous thought that Zoom could be Barry from Earth 2. This would be a really cool twist for the show to pull and would explain how Zoom knew to send Dr Light to make Barry Hesitate. I have just seen a picture that was released of Zoom and you can see his eyes. From the picture Zoom's eyes appear to be different to that of Grant Gustin AKA Barry Allen AKA The Flash (from Earth 1). Although it could just be the darkness of the scene as it also appears the Zoom's eyes are dialated. His voice is deeper than Barry's, but as we know Reverse Flash did that too, I do know that Zoom has been voiced by Tony Todd and not Grant Gustin, but you never know. To be honest I doubt this thought crossed the writers minds and I would be surprised if they did do it. I like the idea though.''

''It also makes sense, because Zoom's suit is exactly like Barry's and Harrison's, except Black and with the cool mouth piece. This could be because two speedsters were created and Harrison Wells (Earth 2) took Barry in under his wing, just like Earth 1. This allows for the suit to be the same. This would mean that when E2's Harrison said, "I created Zoom!", he means more than just emitting the dark matter energy. It would also explain Garrick's loathing towards Harrison, for creating his nemesis and having picked Barry over Jay (some jealousy issues from Garrick).''

''As stated by E2's Harrison at the start of S02E05, "Unfortunately, most of these metahumans have chosen the wrong path. With these powers a dark path.". He probably says this, if my theory is correct, because he is talking from raw knowledge of one who chose the wrong path. Most of the bad metahumans in season 1 were already criminals, so why say they chose a bad path when they were already on the bad path? Harrison's team on E2 are creating technology for the prevention of metahuman crime because they feel responsible for Zoom. (Harrison cannot be Zoom, because the tech would have alerted instantly if he was.) Why does Harrison feels the same distain towards Garrick? Because as Harrison stated, "You're the superhero. And we would all be safe if you would just do your job.", this shows that Harrison doesn't see that he can do anything to help and wants Garrick to help. He probably wants to train Garrick, but knows Garrick won't accept because of his hatred towards Wells. ''

''SPEED- Now Let's talk speed. Eobard, Barry, Zoom and Jay, this is my proposed order of speedsters from highest to lowest (based on speed, duh). Garrick is the slowest because he has had no training or help from anyone and has only been at this for 2 years. Zoom is third fastest because he had training and help, but from people without speedster experience and has only had 2 years of practice. Barry is second fastest because he had training from a speedster and 2 years of practice. Eobard was the fastest because he had an unspecified period of time to learn (presumably longer than 2 years), he is insanely intelligent, had knowledge of speedsters and basically studied the flash and was his enemy in the future anyway.''

''Now assuming this is all correct, it tells us why Eobard and Barry can time travel and the others cant. Why Zoom is stronger than Garrick. Why it took a disruption in Eobard's timeline to kill him and not just flat out Barry being better. And why Garrick thinks Barry can take on Zoom. The only reason Barry would have a problem fighting Zoom is that they are the same person. If Zoom knows virtually all of Barry's life down to a tee, give or take a few different events throughout his life. Zoom has the upper hand as he will know Barry, but Barry will not know him. (Barry wouldn't know him because he has no idea who Zoom really is). Zoom and Barry both have a one up on the other making it an equal match.''

''All in all I dont really know. I mean, who fucking does, the writers do. Haha. But it's just a theory. A TELEVISION THEORY!''

''That's all folks. What do you think?''

So that's all of what I posted in the General Discussion, let's see what happens here? :)
