Imagine if one tweak inThe Flash’s debut season could undo everything Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen has accomplished—yep, all the races, the heroic saves, and the reality-bending sacrifices. Season 1 ofThe Flashintroduced a mind-bending paradox that has fans scratching their heads to this day. This plot hole is like a rogue meta-human in itself, threatening to dismantle Barry’s entire journey if someone dared to fix it.

One loophole correction, and poof—Gustin’s legacy as the Scarlet Speedster could be wiped clean. It’s the kind of twist that only the Arrowverse would throw our way, but honestly? Maybe some mysteries are better left unsolved if it means Barry’s hero status stays untouched.

The Flash‘s Biggest Plot Hole: Why Didn’t Eobard Protect Eddie?

While some of DC’s other shows have faced challenges,The Flashhas enjoyed acclaim since its 2014 CW debut. The series is surprisingly well-plotted, even with a mutant shark-man leaping through wormholes. But hey, not every detail is flawless. Let’s dive intoone of the biggest plot holes left dangling in the series!

So, Eobard Thawne, aka Reverse-Flash, finds himself stuck in the past and meets his ancestor, the hunky detective Eddie Thawne. Despite his disdain for Eddie, Eobard has to protect him; if Eddie kicks the bucket, Eobard never gets born.

It’s puzzling then that Eobard allows Eddie to move to Central City, practically setting him up for disaster. Seriously, Eddie becomes a key player on Team Flash, facing danger every week—like almost getting sucked into a tornado in the very first episode!

Even minor villains, like the Clock King, manage to shoot him. Eobard, posing as Harrison Wells, is a wealthy genius with future tech at his disposal. He could’ve snagged Eddie a cushy, secure job. But instead, he lets him stroll into a town filled with homicidal supervillains.

So, what gives? This glaring inconsistency leaves fans scratching their heads, and maybe it’s a plot hole best left unanswered!
