The monitor said ‘The Flash must die’. I don’t think they’re going to avoid that fate, but I think another Flash will sacrifice themselves instead of Barry.
I don't think it's the only reason they could be doing it, it could just be an excuse to bring characters from a bunch of different universes together.I just don't see the point of doing the Crisis if the result isn't all the Earth's merge into one. I mean, that's the whole point of the Crisis. Merging some but not others is really messy from a narrative point of view. Flashpoint shows they aren't hesitant to change backstory as long as the new status quo matches up well enough for re-runs.

We still can. Time travel anthing could lead them to doing a two parter on Supergirl. JasonKinda sad we never got a Superarrow mini crossover.
I believe the deal was made to save Barry and Kara from death when they did what they both did to save the Multiverse at the end of the Elseworlds saga. So, no, the Monitor didn't reneg on anything.It is a bit annoying that both The Flash and Arrow are simultaneously doing "the hero is preparing for his inevitable death in the Crisis" arcs and yet Oliver and Barry aren't comparing notes at all. As Diggle said, this is the ultimate "all hands on deck" situation, so they should've already called all the heroes they know and begun working on a plan. And the whole reason Oliver made his deal with the Monitor was to save Barry (and Kara)! So that's already been reneged on. That's something Oliver should be aware of.
Ding, ding, ding!I believe the deal was made to save Barry and Kara from death when they did what they both did to save the Multiverse at the end of the Elseworlds saga. So, no, the Monitor didn't reneg on anything.
Oliver's deal with the Monitor in "Elseworlds" was so Barry and Kara wouldn't die during those events -- i.e., while racing to slow down time -- as Clark foresaw in the Book of Destiny. The deal wasn't to make them immortal going forward.
It's actually very clear. Barry proposes the slowing down time stunt. Clark says, "You both die. When I opened the Book, I watched both of you die, doing exactly what you're talking about." Then there's an insert image of Barry and Kara burning up and disintegrating while attempting the speed maneuver. Oliver leaves and goes straight to the Monitor, says, "I know what happens to Barry and Kara," and makes the deal to prevent it.
I think the knowledge that Kara and Barry die in the original comics Crisis (which is what probably inspired this bit in "Elseworlds") is distorting people's understanding of the plain text of the episode.

Um..Oliver is doing the Monitor's bidding because he believes it will save the rest of the Multiverse. That's pretty clear after he saw one multiverse get obliterated as he left it. Clark told them all he opened the Book saw Barry and Kara die when pulling off their final actions in the Elseworlds story. Oliver went to the Monitor and made the deal so that they would not have that particular fate. As to what the actual deal was - we (the audience) don't really know yet.Only in the most legalistic way. The Monitor still knew that Barry would die in the Crisis a year later, so he misrepresented the nature of the deal when he offered it to Oliver. A lie of omission is still a lie. Again, the only reason Oliver is doing Mar Novu's bidding is because he believes it saves Barry, and that is an incorrect belief that Novu is exploiting. These guys really need to touch base more often.
Yep. Again, Oliver's bargain was so Barry and Kara wouldn't die that day. He didn't believe, and had no reason to believe, it meant they would never die.Um..Barry is doing the Monitor's bidding because he believes it will save the rest of the Multiverse.

Yeah, that bit bugged me too. I thought for a second that maybe Ramsey knew he was The Flash, but I don't remember him finding out.And in the climax, Flash didn't disguise his voice from Ramsey and openly acknowledged recognizing him and knowing what happened between him and Barry, yet Ramsey somehow didn't recognize him as Barry.
Yeah, the deal was just to stop them from dying during Elseworlds, it had nothing to do with the Crisis.I believe the deal was made to save Barry and Kara from death when they did what they both did to save the Multiverse at the end of the Elseworlds saga.
