>>116410596>dude I had a car run over your dog lmao-tier of villainy>not cartoonishPeople do that shit IRL. They'll kill pets, send harassing e-mails and phone calls, etc. Thawne is a superpowered version of that.
Not to mention, the "cartoonish" aspect of Thawne fits well with the more lighthearted Flash adventures.
>he beats people so he's menacingI mean, yes? If all the various Flashes have such a hard time stopping him, he'd be a nightmare for anybody else.
>Oh no, a generic evil retard with superpowers, how scary.Yes again. He shows what a normal petty asshole would do if they had superpowers. Crazy stalkers and entitled fanboys exist, so Thawne is what would happen if one had access to the Speed Force. It's easy to imagine that the wrong person with superpowers would turn out like Thawne. He seems real.
