From the beginning it was clear that Harrison Wells was Reverse Flash. So yes i wont stand again the crap that some evil Barry Allen is Zoom.

Only because now the metahumans come from a singularity and that the Alternative Dimensions are the main theme and not Time Travel it means we should talk about the same crap. Over and Over. The difference with that is the Reverse Flash, even before we knew who he was, was very similar to Eobard Thawne from the comics. Same costume, same backstory, same killing of Barry's mother, etc. He had a different alias, but it was obvious to me that he was supposed to be Eobard Thawne from the start. Zoom, however, isn't a clear adaptation of any one character. He has the name of Hunter Zolomon, a similar appearence to the Black Flash, a similar backstory to Rival's, and similar powers to Daniel West's. Most importantly, he also borrows a great deal from a character in the comics '''who is a future Barry Allen. '''Basically, the diffference between thinking Barry is Reverse-Flash and Barry is Zoom is that Barry in the comics is actually similar to Zoom. There is precedence for it, so it's not as crazy for Zoom to be an evil Barry. Also, introducing alternate Earth's is the perfect reason to introduce evil versions of characters.
