I know that they were always going to stop the crisis and save the multiverse but don't the flash forward scenes sort of spoil it? Arguably the crisis itself is something of an anomaly that sweeps not only through space, but time as well; allowing for a future where the Crisis never happened. And while Oliver's absence is apart of Oliver in Mia's life or in Star City is conditional on the coming Crisis, it could be argued that, that event itself - Oliver's deal with the Monitor and leaving - was an alternate time-line created as part of preemptive action taken by the Monitor ahead of the coming crisis. The future that might have been before that may or may not have been the one seen in Legends, where Oliver was still alive (ostensibly the future where he lived into his 80s, like the Reverse Flash claimed, assuming he wasn't lying about that). But assuming that future, where Oliver had lost his arm and Connor Hawke was just an alias used by JJ when he became the Green Arrow; there may have been a completely different future that we were never shown, that was wiped out by the Monitor's interference and the deal he made with Oliver. The presence of the F-Troop from the future in the past and them causing events that hadn't happened before, would indicate that the crisis itself, guided by both the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor, are influencing in events to occur different than they had original, from an outside perspective of the larger scope of time for the characters; which would basically be the audience's. In other words, wibbly wobbly, timey wimey....
