He would live on in the memories of everyone until at least the 64th Century, just have him say he was pissed that he was forgotten. After all, Eobard planted the information that he is just some guy nobody cares about in the 22nd Century.

Dude it's a freaking magic paradox, it can do pretty much anything and Barry only skimmed the surface, maybe actually being swallowed by it has a different effect. Yeah but for Savitar, that made sense because he was forgetten in present times. Eddie being angry about being forgetten in the distant future would be pathetic. Also watch season one again, does that look like a villian after he had learned about his future fate?

It is science based, not magic. And like all events in science fiction stories, there are rules and consistencies it has to follow. The rules that the Flash novel told was that going in there puts plasma energy in your system. For normal people, they would die. However Barry was a speedster and can fight against it with the energy of the Speed Force. Making him face a sort of cancer equivalant. It also made him hallucinate his enemies and allies. You mean to tell me they really have killed off someone like Ronnie? You know the tv rules when it comes to bodies? No body no death. We're just told Ronnie is dead because he dissapeared into the singularity. Eddie looked dead, but they focused too much on him being whisked away by the singularity to not mean something later on. In theory, they could bring both of them  back if they wanted to. They did that with Sara and Laurel(in a way). I love The Flash, but im not letting my love cloud my judgment. I still feel like Savitar would have probably work better at a later point in the series. As for Eddie motives, etc. It would not have been that hard. It could have been as easy as revealing that this Eddie is not right in the head anymore. He is broken because of what Eobard had said back then and that his friends never looked for him. Or whatever. Plus, using the comic as an reason is not valid enough. it's still in the comics. The writers can still  change it to fit their needs.
