Actually. The Speed Force allowed Barry to cause Flashpoint(it is said in ep. 16) So the Speed Force is sentient. As for Eobard Thawne. Well, he is The Living Paradox. That's him. It was his 'destiny' to become Barry's greatest enemy. He is the flashy wobbly wimey timey stuff of CW Flashv. I know it is said that Wells made Flash in 2020, but that never happened in Flashpoint where Eobard got locked up; and instead it was Ramonells. That explains why he never had loss memories because he changed the timeline; because he never did. He is just like Savitar. That's where the stupid writers hit inspiration when they made evil Barry Allen. Wells/Eobard was the one from season 2, but younger. Kreisberg says it in an interview.
