Has anyone thought about the repercussions of Eddie Thawne killing myself to save the others? I know it's an admirable feat, but what will happen now? And I don't mean to the show. I mean to the timeline. if Eddie is dead, Eobard Thawne is never born. If Eobard was never born, technically he never fought the Flash. He never went back in time to "that night" where he tried to kill Barry as a child, but ended up killing Barry's mother. If that night now never happened because Eobard didn't exist in the first place, that mean Barry's mother is actually alive, and his father never went to jail, and the real Dr. Well AND his wife are actually alive, and the particle accelerator was never built in Central City, which now means Barry is without his powers and the Meta-humans are just regular humans. But if Eobard Thawne is never born because Eddie killed himself, what did Eddie kill himself for?
