let's all take a moment to appreciate how they can take a dude in a bright yellow suit and make him an absolutely terrifying demon

8 seasons now, and they still haven't topped season 1 as the best

The music makes this x20 times better.

Cavanagh's reverse flash was one of the best tv villains by far alongside manu bennett's deathstroke

Does no one realize how insane of a speed feat this really is? He is making a speed mirage throughout the entire trap scene while beating up barry and disarming multiple cops. I mean, he can't just stop making a speed mirage or else Joe would see that "Wells" suddenly disappeared, so he logically is keeping up the act. This is probably the most insane speed feat of the first 3 seasons, or at the very least, season 1.

1:12 - "Not fast enough, Flash." Gives the chills every time I hear it.

Gesh remembering why me and my siblings use to get so excited for every episode. Sucks how much this show has lost its way but glad seasons 1-3 exist lol

1:47 Reverse Flash : "But I'm always one step ahead." *Barry reaches out trying to hit him* My favorite moment of this scene.

even after all these years, this is still THE best looking speedster fight, in my opinion. the fx is simple, but very effective

I love how you can’t tell who Reverse-Flash is when he’s vibrating, but once you know who it is, you can’t unsee it.

I really wish we could've got a fight between reverse flash and zoom.

Damn Barry Allen looking outside and seeing his lifetime nemesis standing just across from him looking directly at him with that music gives me goosebumps every time!!!

The good days of The Flash...

1:06 Always Gives Me Chills

Season 1’s mystery and magic was something else

Dat ass whoopin

2:52 can we all be in agreement that is the scariest noise to come from Eobard?

Reverse Flash's super speed sound/costume looks so much better than Barry's.

Is it just me or were the season 1 episodes better then season 2?

3:15 get that gun outta my face, grandpa!

Reverse Flash,or "The only reason I started to see Legends of Tomorrow"

I keep seeing Peter Parker whenever I look at Flash.

Okay, let's set the record straight. Bit of backstory: Eobard Thawne is a 25th century inhabitant, who gained his abilities by manipulating the speed force, which was created by Barry Allen. Eobard later learned that Barry's mother had been murdered, which lead Barry to eventually become the Flash. In order to secure the timeline and ensure Eobard would still be "Professor Zoom" or "the Reverse Flash", he traveled back in time and murdered Nora Allen. To answer FAQs: "Why didn't he kill Eddie?": Eobard is the possible descendant of detective Eddie Thawne. Why kill your own ancestor? Then you won't exist. " How did he beat up Wells if he is Wells?": As Barry stated in "Flashpoint Paradox" graphic novel, Eobard can create copies of himself. Wells creates a copy to steal the prototype and beat him up, and gets rid of it later. "How were there two speedsters there that night?": Again, an easter egg to "Flashpoint Paradox". Barry goes back in when he's older to prevent Eobard from killing his mother. Either that, or it was Jay Garrick somehow.

And then you realize that RF was kicking Barry's ass while keeping his speed marrage in Star labs

0:37 the way he runs is perfect

Bruh you know a episode is timeless when eight years have passed, technology isnt leaps and bound from 2014/15 - 2023 this scene still gives me chills, it actually exposed how much the show fell after season 3. Although Devoes hallway scene may be in the top 5 best action sequences of all time

Now I see why Reverse Flash is sometimes called Professor Zoom:he totally schooled Barry in Curbstomp 101.

glory days of the flash, glory days of writing, cgi, and the true terror of the reverse flash. i still miss it.

0:56 1 random person that lives inside the football stadium: holy crap

"but i'm always one step ahead" man i love that phrase so much

A nice detail I enjoyed from season two is that in Episode 11, “The Reverse Flash Returns”, Barry (upon catching Thawne and fighting in him in the warehouse) mutters the words “Not fast enough, Thawne” before knocking him out and taking him to the STAR Labs Pipeline. It was nice to have a call back to Thawne’s “Not fast enough, Flash.” Quote.

0:07 sounds like Tobey Maguire's spiderman music

This was just absolutely amazing.

The Flash didn't even get one hit in in this fight at all.

1:53 when he ran away immediately after realizing “SHIT I FORGOT TO DO THE BLUR THING HE’S GONNA SEE ME” 😂

The first scene still gives me goosebumps even today.

Bartholomew Henry Allen - It was you. You were the one at my house that night. You stole my Doritos, WHY? Eobard Thawne - If you wanna know that.. Your gonna have to catch me.

That helicopter noise always gives me chills. So good. best suited theme.

0:30 my fav part

I miss these days man

Stadium bill payer: "Why is our Electric bill $1,000 for Christmas?"

This wasn't a fight, this was a Curb-Stomp out of every proportion.

1:56-1:59 after seeing the 9x10 clips this line aged like fine wine

I've always loved how Thawne interacts with Eddie. He takes everyone else out, makes face to face eye contact with Eddie just to spook him and then shoves him out of the way when Joe shoots. Thawne is in complete control of everything even when his direct ancestor is in the way.

0:44 most epic part .. i love the flash now but nothing compares to the few first seasons .. him vs reverse flash and him vs zoom .

0:42 love the way thawne runs, wish they stuck with this style of running looks so fkin dope, like a true speedster ⚡⚡⚡

Is it me or the special fx were best in the first season now in season 3 everything looks so fake

0:25 I got shivers when he said that.

Season 1 was soooo much better than season 2 and 3. I swear I must've watched season 1 about 3 or 4 times now.

2018, still brings chills just like the first time I saw this back in 2014

1:32 you know who I am, Barry

Awesome mid-finale !!!

Came back here after the disappointing Crisis where reverse flash never appeared.

I want to see reverse flash vs zoom

This fight is lows underrated I remember being so excited after seeing this just amazing

Thawne having the time of his life knowing Barry is inexperienced and not even close to how fast he gets in the future lmao 😂 😂

If you look at 2:03 at x0.25 speed, you can see a second yellow speedster taking away the red-eyed reverse flash. Two reverse flashes? This can explain how Harrison Wells and red-eyed Reverse Flash were simultaneously in one room in the latest episode.

Man i was so hyped and excited when this episode aired 😍

I wished television shows had the option to be aired on the big screen like in the movie theaters! All the fans come together and enjoy the show together! Epic ness!

Flame On! The Human Torch lol. I know he's not him though.

Watching this for the tenth time and I still love it

I think we can all agree that this fight was MAD personal..

Wow this was 6 years ago?!?? I feel so old now cause I started watching day one and now I’m addicted

Barry truly never actually beat reverse flash, well future reverse flash, he had help from firestorm and arrow the first time and Eddie killed himself to erase him.

How can a 2million dollar episode have better effects than a 220million dollar movie???

GUYS IF YOU PAUSE IT AT 3:42 THATS FUTURE BARRY HE HAS THE WHITE SYMBOL

the music the acting was so superb specially the music so epic captures the moment perfectly kudos for the music director the best thing that I like about season 1 was that it felt like personal even more so than season 3

Zoom vs RF season 3 please

Reverse Flash: “It was me Barry!” Barry: “I was 11, an 11 year old boy!”

The music makes it 100x better

Tack för en trevlig kväll med dig

that one villain in fall of heroes roblox when you use superspeed to run away: 0:37

If you stop at 2:03 and watch from there in very slow motion (I set it to 0.25), you can see another red streak pushing the reverse flash away from Barry!!!

Bro, the best season was still one I like the one only because he had a lot of speed and he started hitting people because the bad guys and he always does a knock them down because I like the face but when he was bleeding and stuff

Jeez i miss the early seasons of flash and arrow...they were epic!!!!

This will always be in my top 3 fav moment on the flash

1:49 this scene was where Barry tried to punch reverse flash was recreated in the last episode of the flash s7 ep18

the flash is so fuckin cool, this show is fuckin amazing and this actor who plays flash is sick

Very Cool Video!

I just love this scene and the music lol

I’ve come back to this clip after season 8 began, with the conclusion that the rivalry between Flash and Reverse-Flash is the most epic rivalry in the entire Arrowverse

When you think about it the fight was very unfair. This Reverse Flash is used to fighting Barry at his peak and is fighting a rookie flash.

“it was your mother’s destiny to die that night” after watching season 9, we now know that this Thawne already knew Nora’s death was a fixed point, so he was right here

The writers had to put some debuffs for Flash we clearly don't know about because he should be impossible to touch or outsmart. He isn't only a fast runner, everything in his body and mind is faster and he recognizes information and thinks like 1000 times faster than anyone else so he shouldn't be able to be surprised because right when the situation changes he has already gone through every single possible situation in his brain and he has calculated every outcome and consequence of every action. His world is going on a -92048290% speed and a one minute for us feels like 100 years for him. Though Reverse Flash can stop and manipulate time so maybe he can win Flash but I really see how any other DC villain could beat him

Caitlin is like to Barry S.O.S : SAVE OUR SOULS

One thing I ALWAYS like about Thawne as Barry's Nemesis, he knows if he kills Barry that he can't exist. No, Flash, no Reverse Flash. So that's why he just settles on ruining his life and destroying his legacy. He ALWAYS finds a way to come back.

Ill never forget the first time seeing him on that roof. Straight Nightmare fuel

So awesome!

Reverse Flashes voice sounds similar to Batman's in Bvs right? Or is it just me?

Ketchup vs mustard

Oh its 2018 MAN THIS FIGHT IS GOOD YAAASSSSSS

God every time it cuts to Reverse Flash on the building with that shift in the music it gives me chills and then Barry's reaction is like oh my god standing on a building right in front of me is the person or thing that murdered my mother and sent my father to prison its my mortal enemy and it's right in front of me And do any of you remember way back when. When we had no idea what he was talking about destiny and what not but these days we've had two more season of this and two full seasons of Legends Of Tomorrow we know far too much about all of this. Oh and one more thing do you all think it was Tom in the suit here or did he just do the voice?

Somebody brought down the voice effects on this clip, so that Reverse Flash would have his normal voice, and it was Harrison Wells saying the lines. So yeah, it's not somehow Eddie, they're not gonna do some weird swerve, it IS Wells.

After this scene 2:30 my mind exploded. I thought Dr.Wells was the yellow flash O_O

i remember first seeing this, gave me luke vs darth vader vibes when they encountered eachother like super hyped up pressure situation

I like how they used the cartoon sound effect for the Reverse Flash's speed noise

The Flash season 1 was ahead of it's time

Is wells still inside while fighting barry outside (Is he still creating an inside wells after image) Quite impressive

Sweating and energetic scorpio i never give up just like the flash doesnt

1:50 in season 7 EP 19 reverse flash got the taste of his own medicine
