Yeah when Season 5 Barry said "Way later" to confirm he was significantly older than the version tied to the chair, he was essentially threatening Thawne. Season 2 Barry tried to pretend to be Season 1 Barry from that time, which confirmed to Thawne that Season 2 Barry wasn't confident he could take him in a straight fight. But Season 5 Barry walked right in and confirmed it's been a few years. Therefore Thawne knows that Season 5 Barry is confident he can curb stomp him. So Thawne tries to put up a show of them being on equal footing, but not once does he make a physically threatening move, unlike with Season 2 Barry, who he was a second away from killing until Season 2 Barry blackmailed him.

For telling the truth? And that Barry fucked with the timeline made him lose a child?

They really did Thawne justice in this series. Reverse-Flash is by far the Flash’s most formidable enemy. But what makes him scarier than the others is how brilliant he is. The gravity of their relationship was played out so well in this scene just by the facial expressions of both Barry and Norah. Norah knows who Thawne is mostly by what she’s read and you see the sheer fear when she’s face to face with this version of him, which is much different from the older Thawne in her time period. While Barry’s expression is just pure hatred, anger and disgust at the guy who killed his mother, betrayed him and has pledged his life to making his a living hell. Barry’s disgust is knowing that he unwittingly allowed his mother’s killer to befriend him and train him. All for selfish reasons.

What elevates it further is how we saw season 2 Barry's demeanor play out versus his season 5. Granted (pun intended) he was in a more desperate position in season 2 compared to 5; however that hatred is still there with a higher of confidence and honesty. He doesn't lie to Thawne, he doesn't appeal to him, and his ego. He matches his energy completely.

Which in the comics is when Barry has the most experience he's fought Thawne many times. It shows how far he's really come and that he could beat him in a fight, the reason OG timeline Barry "lost" the night his mom died was because he was preoccupied with saving his Younger self and thought after the fight Thawne would leave.

It's all so twisted and delightful and pure electricity when they're on screen together.

Cisco and Catlin in the other room: did you hear that yelling

Thawne comes from the timeline in which Harrison Wells creates the flash in 2024. So when he decided to go back and kill Nora Allen i think that was always meant to happen in every timeline, but what wasnt supposed to happen is that Thawne loses his speed at the begining making him create the flash in 2014-15. When he did that he changed everything because barry was still supposed to be awake making him be avle to be with iris in the 9 month coma whicj was originally meant to happen which says that og barry married Iris much later than Barry and he would become the flash in 2024 so he qould start his adventures with Cisco and Harrison Wells-1 at that point. Which explains why a much more older self than barry is there but with the og suit from season 2. Point being, Thawne changed the timeline but he remains immune to the changes meaning he can be unaware of them to a meaningful extent. This change in the timeline is what made him aware so he got informed when he saved himself after the ending of S1. Which started the cicada plan to destroy the dagger using Nora. All he had to do was make sure Barry dissapeared, be in prision at the same time nora got her powers so he could mentor her. Thawne is truly a genious.

I am pretty shure that you are wrong. The only reason why thawne lost his speed is, that barry doesnt become the flash because thawne killed his mother. So after that he takes over wells body to create the flash to get back his speed and to get back home in his orignal timeline and he does it much faster. so barry gets to be the flash earlier just because thawne wants to get home. so the flash we know is not the original timeline flash. In the original timeline Wells1 creates the flash in the year 2020 and ca 130 years later thawne works at the flash museum after the flash is long dead and tries to become the flash but. Thorugh time travel he gets to know, that he is destined to become the flashes arch enemy the reverse flash. Sorry for bad english There is also a video from the channel DC Comics arrorverse that explains the timeline of the reverseflash with the name "reverseflash timeline explained" and he does it up to season 8. So if you didnt get what I mean you can look up this video.

Barry is used to Thawne at this point and isnt afraid of him, while Nora has probably never had to face off agaisnt someone so evil and villanous, or at least that she knows Thawne to be from Barry's point of view, as she doesnt know what Thawne had done to Barry's life until after this

So does this version of Thawne talk to Barry and Nora and then the younger future Barry goes on to have the same conversation we saw in season 2? It would mostly still fit just from Thawne being so confused about the whole thing. Barry coming back twice to the same point in history.

Even when Barry thinks he has the upper hand, Thawne is playing him for fools. Purposely arguing with Barry about who the device is for, knowing Nora would say, since she said her name with no fear. Knowing it was for Cicada then gave Thawne the ammunition to manipulate the timeline to free himself in the future, even if he didn't know he was going to be imprisoned.

In the thumbnail he looks like he's about to sneeze
