Eobard Thawne in the 1 season is the same pathetic guy we begin to know in the 2 season, the difference is that he is so pathetic, he needs to travel back in time with all the regular technology he knows about and then in the past he became a genious and create a world around him.

Eobard went to the pass because he believed there he would kill Barry Allen when he was a child and surprise he was so pathetic he couldnt.

Then Eobard used all the things he knew from the future to be always one step forward and create Barry Allen in a way that he could always defeat him. Like i always say "Eobard make Barry fast enought to feed him, but never fast enought to defeat him". Eobard dont become more mature and intelligent, he only create a world where he was more mature and intelligent.

And you can see that in the final episode of the first season "Fast Enough" where we see how finally Barry stop being like Eobard make him and becomes finally himself, the hero he is going to be. Then Eobard sees that he always will be the Pathetic guy who cant defeat even his enemy 100 years later and surprise we see finally the real Eobard, the inmature, stupid, regular and really angry guy. I don't think these actions are really pathetic. The reason he couldn't kill young Barry was because Future Barry stopped him. He doesn't seem to be stupid or immature, he only lost because of Eddie shooting himself in "Fast Enough," and the version Barry fought in this episode was younger and weaker than the later versions.
