It's sad that The Flash from season 1 technically died racing zoom.

Because they way its explained.. season 1 Barry went back in time to right before he went back in time to get his future self to help him.. s1 Barry is then the remnant because his timeline no longer exist. And the other Barry that never went back in time is the Barry that lived. Guess they are the same person. But it still kind of sad that the Barry from season 1 and most of season 2 died. Even if the other guy is technically the same.
