Older Barry told him not to preserve the current timeline, to prevent any potential fall out from a history change that significant. Which makes sense given that, after Eddie shot himself, time collapsed and a black hole began to swallow the city
oh no, i understood what happened. i’m confused why the fuck they made barry actively choose to go back in time to save his mother when he knew the risk of erasing the entire planet existed. that’s a very ~villain thing to do. that’s the problem - his choice.

you were completely right when you called the choice barry made to go back in time as villain-y. it really was. he was the ultimate selfish prick. holy shit i’m just!!!
now pls sing praises about him and how much better hero he is compared to oliver!!! IM JUST SO PISSED!!!!
