Offseason Reddit is typically the worst thing in the world. For example...
Imagine if Joe shot Eddie instead of Eddie shooting himself.
*edit*
Here's another one I came up with myself. What if Barry comes out some time in the future because of the time dilation around the black hole?

Typical woman. I think most guys would rather be shot in the chest than the balls.
Given the context (awful offseason discussion and Reddit) I had to read this question twice before I realized it wasn't asking about a hypothetical situation where Barry reveals himself as gay.

That's just many worlds theory explained in way more words. Problem with that and this show is that Eddie killing himself wouldn't have stopped Eobard because he would be a different version's Eddie and not his actual ancestor.
I also can't believe Astr0 is saying Eddie sacrificing himself to save his loved ones is further proof that Eddie's a crazy villain.
You can see a necklace around Eddie's neck as he's sucked into the wormhole. I think he'll become Cobalt Blue.

This is why I hate time travel. Unless they have planned this out for several years in advance and are sticking to a certain theory on how time travel works and it's laws in the flash universe. It ends up being a lazy plot device to just make shit up as you go alone and reset things, making everything that happens pointless. See Babylon 5 on how to do time travel.
Still love the show and I think it's put the Flash movie in a very bad spot for how likable tv flash is and this guy they cast for the Film looks like a douche.

So in an interview with TV guide Grant mentioned that season two will bring in Earth-2 and multiple time lines, oh boy!

Really quite the paradox. My first thought was Eddie killed himself none of this should have happened. But then if none of it happened Eddie would not have killed himself and then everything would have happened anyhow. and around and around you go.
Same with the vasectomy plan. Eddie gets a vasectomy then none of it happens, But if none of it happened why would Eddie get a vasectomy? and around and around you go.

Because it all already happened. Thawne's plan to kill a child Barry would have worked because he would have been returning to a future where there had never been a Flash. He also would have been returning to a time that already had an Eobard Thawne who never became the Reverse Flash. That was the one major flaw to Thawne's plan, is that he never could have returned to his original time because his original time would never have happened. Yeah he could have gotten back to a time with a technology level he was used to, but everything would still be different.
The reason Eobard vanished, but nothing else changed, is because he was from a future where he no longer existed. Except even that doesn't hold up to much scrutiny because he is not the Eobard from the future that got erased, he's the Eobard from the original timeline where Nora wasn't murdered. If the original timeline was timeline a, Nora getting murdered is timeline b, and Eddie killing himself creates a timeline c, why would Eobard A cease to exist because there are no more Thawnes in timeline c?
Basically, the only real answer is A WIZARD DID IT. Or in this context, THE SPEED FORCE DID IT.
Also, for the people complaining about Ollie getting the KO on Reverse Flash last week, it seems clear that Thawne only fought hard enough to avoid suspicion, but threw the fight knowing that Barry wouldn't kill him in order to set up the devil's choice for the finale. In case any hadn't figured that out.
