I don’t think this ruins Wally though. That’s my point. Break him and rebuild. Flash B goes no where fast. Barry is their main Flash, Barry personally bores me but they have made that position clear. I’m personally done fighting against that. So now I’m at the point where rather then see Wally just spin his wheels as a useless B Flash, I’m open for some out of the box, impactful, change.

I don't think there is any change coming. Certainly not in this series.
They have one more issue -- 20 pages -- to wrap up everything. After the last 8 issues, they aren't going to just tack on a happy ending.
Wally has already committed suicide and is just waiting for the 5 days to elapse and getting his story out there to Lois before it does.
None of Wally's motivations make any sense. If he was feeling depressed and alone because Linda no longer remembered him, then he should have taken comfort from those who DID remember him like Barry and his friends on the Titans.
I'm going with Patrick Gerard's assessment that I posted earlier that Dan DiDio is just a troll who likes pissing off fans to keep them interested.
Heroes in Crisis seems to be trending on Twitter, so he's getting the publicity he wants. We'll see if it leads to a backlash a la Nazi-Captain America.
Buddy, this is not the place. It is the Wally Appreciation Thread. Not the Wally should kill himself and change everything about who he is and what he represents so that Barry can stand out more thread. Supporting ruining Wally is the literal opposite of supporting Wally

This just shows how big of a mistake it was for Wally to remember his family, but not have them around.
Well I don’t think they they are purposely sabotaging Wally. If someone said let’s burn Bludhaven to the ground so Nightwing can’t go back there and has to do something else, you’d probably light the first match. Barry is not going anywhere, they have invested too much in him at this point, its Wally that is going to have to change for his own befit.
Again your missing the the point, it’s not that so Barry can stand out more but so that Wally can. Barry is not the one that gets the short end of the stick in this Flash A Flash B situation. So ya, why not break Wally and then try something different. Even if it’s sad, painful, and extreme. What that hell are we clinging onto here as Wally fans.
Nothing is way, way better than this. Why eat garbage when you can refuse to eat? Why frame it as changing wally utterly because of Barry? This is not the place to talk about how Wally shouldn't be Wally.
Stop regurgitating this idea that the best course of action is to make another character and slap Wally West on it. We went through this in the new 52.
Boring is better than misery and shit.
I don't know about that, not in this medium at least.

I think that's a bit unfair. Obviously I don't know if you are a parent or whatever, but he didn't just go through a breakup and get ghosted by his ex.
His family was completely wiped out of existence, and the person he built that family with doesn't remember him at all.
That would be utterly crushing, and expecting someone to just talk about it with some buddies doesn't seem viable.
