The more I think about it, the more impossible it seems to be that Thomas just never existed.
You're telling me Maverick took this disguise, came to the school, had Jasmine force these kids into hell, and then proceed to THINK this??? I understand that the writing before wasn't fleshed out, but c'mon, how can you explain this away 😭🙏 Personally, only explanation to this is that either
A) Maverick offed the original Thomas and took his place
or
B) Maverick had been in disguise the whole time
or
C) He kidnapped the original Thomas and took his place after the incident happened.
I can buy this flowing more easily into the Maverick is Thomas confirmation since Maverick would obviously be confuzzled by this new piece of evidence. And yet it can also be seen as a "Oh shit the teacher noticed!!" That's a good flow of continuity that I appreciate.
Again, I understand that the beginning wasn't as fleshed out....but editing it to fit would be too much work...so it's probably easier to find a way to make it fit
Personally, option A and C are the better routes to fix this plot hole
"Why not B?" Cause that causes more plot holes 😭 like why was bro there in the first place? Idk if Red had planned to fix that plot hole already, so I'm excited to see what more lore we'll learn about Maverick, and why he was the kids' teacher for months.
(If it changes the story...that's fair to leave the plot hole...but it'd be kind of a bummer for details like that to just be left out just because it doesn't fit the story anymore..).
