[ The Negative Speed Force recreates Thawne's "perfect world" where he was married to Iris. This illusion of that Reverse Flashpoint timeline is used to make him feel more comfortable while they prepare to use him as a vessel.]
Parallel between Elseworlds & Armageddon 🏹⚡
the episode was cute, i guess, but honestly, i'm kind of disappointed? they didn't capitalize at all on how intriguing the eobard/iris dynamic is. we just got that one scene in the cortex which honestly i thought just served to foreshadow that she was already doubting him. plus all the chester/allegra stuff was unnecessary, and darhk had way too much screentime. but mostly as someone looking forward to the eoiris and the eobard/iris/barry dynamics, i was disappointed. they could have done more.
I thought the episode was probably one of the best ones they've had in a minute. That being said yeah they spent too much time on Allegra and Chester's will-they-won't-they that I'm pretty sure only 6 total people care about.
Damien's addition to the plot was actually brilliant so I disagree with you there.
I will say I wanted a lot more detail in the life that Eo and Iris built for themselves in this reconstructed world but I understand they were limited for time. We got the badly Photoshopped picture at the loft!!!! Hell yeah!!!
It was pretty clear from the cortex scene that Iris was having doubts about Eobard and he obviously didn't see that because he was too busy gloating about his win over Barry. THAT is the FLAW that made the entire plan crumble apart. Eobard may have won but he never truly won Iris' heart over. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been having doubts to start.
And then of course the power of the WestAllen is something that's been enduring since the beginning which is why everyone covets it so much.
Really and truly, Candice was the MVP of the episode (surprise!) with an honorable mention to both TomCav and Neal McDonough. Those dudes were having funnnnnnnn and I enjoyed it.
Next episode will be interesting because I'm curious to see how Eo responds to losing to Barry again. Probably not great 😌
What makes me happy is that candice clearly had a lot of fun filming this crossover. She really loves working with Tom and the two of them are electric together. I've always been so mad the show never let them work together a lot smh.
AGREED. I've been a Candice fan for awhile and can tell she's pretty private and selective about the people she hypes up. And it's clearly because Tom supports her genuinely behind the scenes and in interviews and at cons and etc etc. It's annoying it took until the end of Tom's tenure to get them some real hefty scenes together but its still worth it!!
LOL I think you'll be getting your wish. This is some next level WestAllen angst and I liiiiiiiiive.
Truly being a multishipper is the only way to truly enjoy this cacophony of chaos lmao WHEN YOU STAY READY YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET READY PPL
I may do a longer post for this because that's a whole lotta questions and lots of thinking I gotta do. But my fave Wells is and will always be Harry. I don't regard Eobard as a "Wells". Least fave is Sherly I'm SORRY FRENCHIE BUT YOU ANNOYING (the rest I'll think on later)
I lost my MIND in that clip when iris calls him "babe" and eobard called iris "his lighting rod" 😳😳 It's sooooo sick but I'm also really loving it 😌
(collecting some of the asks I got in this post cause I got a lot ;-;)
LISTEN my mind is still GONE. They really really really going full reverse Gold Standard I SCREEEEAM.
"Sick and loving it" is the entire Eobard fandom's motto.
never apologize, anon!! You're 100% valid!! there's something soooo....tantalizing about the villain coveting everything the hero has including his love/partner. I never really shipped EoIris in the comics too hard before the show but the show HATH RUINED ME. Blame it on Tom and Candice's stupid sexy chemistry.
LOOOOOOOOL I love that Candice went into an in-depth background on the rings they picked out for Eo. He wanted to leave his mark 🤭 I just-
*screams*
Barry Allen be like:
Have you seen tomorrow's sneak peek with Thawne and Iris?!!! Tom did an interview this morning. Giirrllllllllllllll
Hahaha I had work meetings and had to wait to watch and boy I'm glad I did otherwise I wouldn't have been able to concentrate ;-;
dshfgasjkfhajks LOOK AT THAT FACE HE IS SO HAPPY THAT LITTLE BITCH
HER FACE SDJHFGASJKHAJSHK
TOM AND CANDICE HAD A BLAST YOU CAN JUST TELL LMAOOOO
Y si, producto del oiris nace Inercia?
If I'm reading this correctly, you're asking if Inertia aka Thad Thawne will be Iris and Eobard-as-Barry's child??????????????
WHEWWWWWW I don't think the show will ever touch that lmao but I also didn't think they'd ever give us Eo and Iris holding hands either so who the fuck knows ;-;
Lisssten I don’t care how messy it is…
I’ve been low key shipping Eobard/Iris since season 1
And I never thought the CW would have the balls to go there. So I’m going to enjoy every minute of this
It was me Barry! I created and tapped into the Negative Still Force, made it look like you were working with Caver, made STAR labs go nuclear, killed Joe while making it look like an accident, made you think yourself a criminal and stole your wife!
Oh and the whole Despero thing? That was just the icing on the cake! Even I didn’t expect that to happen!
The one person repping EoIris at Comic Con 🤷🏽♀️
Amigo@, me das miedo 0.0
(Refiriéndome al EoIris, que los shipeas y ahora es "Cannon")
Google Translated: Friend @, you scare me 0.0 (Referring to EoIris, you ship them and now it's "Cannon")
Iris West is, quite frankly, the only woman Eobard Thawne ever has a thing for.
She’s a major historical figure! She’s the reason the future knows about The Flash and his legacy! He read her book over and over and over as a child!
She’s also hot and he totally wanted to slip into that stepdad role with her and Nora as part of his “I will out-dad Barry Allen by teaching his daughter important life skills like going fast and stealing while also, yes, using her for my ends and yeah she’s not making it out of this”
Iris got her a sugar daddy.
ahgdfjsdj LISTEN how else is a girl gonna pay for her multimedia global empire???
also streets (based on the comic story) are saying that Eo LITERALLY stole Barry's life so they all could very well think that Eo is Barry and vice versa lmaooooooooooo EITHER WAY I'M VERY HAPPY I WOKE A HAPPY GIRL
Now someone needs to draw show Iris in that ridiculous wedding dress comics Thawne made.
Weirdly I just remembered it as a pretty standard wedding dress, but…
…yeah. [Pic from here] Look, I’m sure Candice could pull it off. Except maybe whatever is happening with that veil. And it’s probably best to wear some shorts, tennis-style, under that skirt.
