True, but on the other hand these people were the reason the Dominators were so pissed off. I wouldn't trust these people either.I mean who knows the next time Barry will try to f*ck with time? He says he won't but then this is the same person who went back in time to save his mother, decided not to do it...and then he went back and did the same thing a year later and this time he did it.
If I worked for the government I'd be tempted to have him imprisoned so he can never do anymore harm to the timeline. Barry was forgiven awfully quick, but the after effects of his messing with time are kind of horrifying..people flat out got erased from existence.
That's true, but even though Barry was the reason(it would have been the JSA if not him since they had plenty of Meta's at the time), the team didn't know that. They were just randomly attacked by shadowy G-Men who gave them no explanation. Would you just give up and go with them when the world is literally a couple hours away from domination or destruction? F*ck those guys.
Come on man, him saving his mom has context. He didn't save her and was good with her being dead because he had his dad. Then as soon as he makes peace with that after the most grueling battle he's ever had in his life...his dad gets murdered by Zolomon. His dad who did a 15 year prison bid for the guy who murdered his wife/son's mother. It broke him and he panicked and made a rash decision.
Barry has also pretty much cemented at this point he doesn't intend to screw with time again if he can help it. And no one was erased from existence, Barry's interference only either changed things or added new things. No one simply stopped being a thing. Julian for example exists because of Flashpoint. Digg's daughter is a son. Dante got killed(but as Caitlyn pointed out that could've happened anyway in any timeline). And literally everyone has at some point tried to convince Barry to go back and change things on their behalf. Even if they haven't said it, the show makes it obvious they all would if they had the capability.
