Eobard Thawne isnt envious is like you dont understand the inner core of this character, the comic book character and that is the problem.

Eobard Thawne wants to be Barry Allen, but that doesnt mean he wants everything he has, is really hard to explain, you have to read the comics, to understand the character. Because the comics and the show are really different.

Eobard Thawne is pathetic, not because he isnt smart, Eobard Thawne is pathetic because he always tries to be important and the center of the life of so many people and the thing is, he never will be. If you see the season 1 you will see he try to Kill Barry but when he understood he couldnt destroy him, then he decide to be the center of the life of Barry and this world.

So many lifes, so many people, even worst Barry itself his bigger enemy change and become what they are by themselves, but Eobard Thawne came to the picture and change the story to make itself the center of this and that is pathetic, because when you see the ramifications of this act, is just stupid.

Also Eobard always present itself like this big and scary threat when the reality is that he isnt. Eobard Thawne is the regular guy, the boring guy and that is also pathetic, how he cant be scary by itself, he will never be scary by itself, he always needs to do cheats.

But what Eobard is over all the things is an inmature, full of anger guy. Again the role, Tom Cavanagh, present was the one of this interesting, smart, attractive, kind, mysterious, mature and crazy guy.

When the reality is that Eobard Thawne isnt interesting, is boring, isnt over smart, is average and has devoted his life to study the Flash, isnt over attractive, isnt kind, is mysterious and of course is crazy. But of course over all the things, Eobard Thawne is angry, really angry, because he isnt happy with who he is and what life he has, he wants the life of Barry, the life of a Speedster-Superhero and like he cant have it, he will destroy Barry and everything he knows and cares for.

Really simple and this dont make Eobard a better or worst character, for me Tom Cavanagh/Harrison Wells character was pretty okay, because wasnt Eobard, Tom Cavanagh put a lot of charisma and intensity to the character, but Eobard like a character lack a lot of inner motivation and psychological issues that made his character what he was in the comics.

Because again Eobard Thawne isnt a teacher, Eobard Thawne is a stalker, this Season Two episode give to the character finally the deep and respect to the comics that lack in the 23 episodes of the First Season and even better we had a character development, because Eobard pass from hate Barry to have to teach everything to him and later try to use him to travel back to his time, only to become again a boring jerk that lose like always.

That is the Eobard we all know and we all care for.
