There's little point to revisit Murozond if they don't make it visually clear he's no longer destined to die in a Cataclysm dungeon. What's the point, after all, of witnessing the rise of a big bad we know no matter what fights we may have against he'll live to fight another day until he finally goes on a hail mary at End Time and dies there? And I think Blizzard knows this too, since Nozdormu's turn happened off-screen in the dungeon.
That's how alternate timelines work.We saw Muro, killed him, then went and stopped Noz from ever becoming Muro. If we hadn't killed the first Muro, we wouldn't have survived to stop him from transforming, the we never could have stopped it anyways.Dosn't erase the time we had, doesn't create a paradox. There just now exists a Muro that came to our timeline.However.. Part of me wonders if we just veered off the 'correct' timeline. Maybe we're supposed to let him become corrupted so that we can defeat him and close the loop. So now that we let Iridikron get away, we become an "alt" timeline and the void stuff happens.
To be honest this is a pretty easy paradox based on simple premises that have been suggested or at least not contradicted by canon.1) The bronze aspect duty is to guard the past, not the future: This is certainly evident in that the quests and histories of the bronze dragonflight all involve, even quests from this patch, in going back to make it "as it was". I do not recall a single quest where the Bronze forces something to happen to protect the "predetermined future". This would also means that they are allowed to act to change the future as they wish.2) Bronze time vision is perfect on past time but imperfect in future: Although this has not been said by certain, is pretty evident (from most Noz cinematics) that as future is ever changing, they have a hard time pinpointing exact future situations, having only glimpses of it. 3) Nozdormu has to be paradox proof: To be able to fix the timelines, Noz has to be able to survive time shifts that put his existance as Bronze steward in jeopardy. Ie, when the elder gods won we are able to go back and fix it with bronze help, although their win mean that Tyr never empowered the bronze. This means Noz (and Chromie as shown in the dungeon) can exist even if the current timeline does not allow that (and can protect others, as they allow us to exist in those timelines). This mean that Murozond is also paradox proof, he should be able to exist even if the current timeline does not allow him to.4) The End of Time will never happen: End of Time is a timeline that rised when Deathwing won, however Noz was able to preview this and using his time magic created a situation where we could defeat him (see point 1 about changing the future). Because of this, the End of Time, and the death of Mur, will never happen and is now just an insolated alternate timeline that is not part of the current timeline of Azeroth. By point 3, it does not matter if we killed Mur, as he will always exist cause there is always a timeline where (when?) he exists.5) Nozdormu cannot see himself as Murozond: Think it this way, You are given a vision that you will won million of dollars, but by cosmic rules you cannot see the exact date. But you see yourself going to work on Friday and then buying a Mansion in Monday is pretty obvious that you won on the weekend. Nozdormu though is unable to pinpoint the moment of his fall. This is because he see himself normal on Friday and come Monday he still sees himself normal. In fact, we know that he saw his demise as Nozdormu, and it was this whay supposely will push him from the edge, is unlikely he will he sees himself dying as Murozond and says "yeah the way to stop this is becoming exactly the way I am when i was killed". So why he knows he will turn? Because Murozond exists, simply as that, and as long as he exists, is a reminder that someday, somehow he will turn.So, the Infinite task is a very simple one, they only have to make Murozond exist at least once in the infinite timelines, being paradox proof then Murozon existance is impossible to unmake, even going back and correcting it. That is why pushing proto-Nozdormu did the trick, as the only ones capable of breaking the paradox protection from Nozdormu are logically the infinite, they dont even need to "turn" protoNoz, they only need to corrupt him so when he is empowered to an Aspect then that seed is enough to push him to the Infinite side.In that regard, the infinite already won, Murozond was created at the dawn of the aspects. We erased him from the true timeline, but he exists, paradox proof, in an insolated alternate timeline outside of the timelines themselves every bit as eternal as Nozdormu has always been.
I see it as being quite simple, if we build on the premise that the Titans weren’t as truthful as we’d think: That the vision Nozdormu was shown was partly a lie, to keep him on the right track. The death of Murozond in End Time could simply have alluded to that Nozdormu would witness it and that he’d be defeated by us. The rest is vague, and Nozdurmu - believing that there is only one true outcome - found End Time to be the moment he was shown.Now, I believe (or, well, hope) that the following will happen: The Aspects – led by Alexstrasza –will cast aside Order, seeing their lies and manipulative nature, which will could be seen as her “corruption”, shown to Tyr. Nozdormu will, in the end, always become Murozond, and it can still happen because of the Old Gods. However, it doesn’t mean he has to turn evil due to corruption, but rather to ensure that the Infinite Dragonflight causes all the trouble that leads us here.Long story short: Nozdormu’s real curse is that he has to act completely against himself, in order to secure his – and all other – flights’ survival. That he’s the reason for his own death.
Well what I personally hope for is an and end time retcon (wouldn’t necessarily be a real retcon at this point though) End Time only existed because Deathwing won since that is no longer true think of End Time as being retconned and not mattering anymore I personally hope he doesn’t become Muro from old gods but by choice to go stop the titans because the titans are shady as hell the old gods are bad because they corrupt with chaos and void but the titans corrupt with order and light it’s still corruption and just as bad they legit brainwashed and “warped”/mutated dragons still in their shells I really wish that a lot of the player base wouldn’t see the titans as just “good guys” it’s not so black and white I hope there comes a time when we work with the void or old gods of even the infinite dragons I really hope we are able to fight and stop the titans
I like how we have to keep the purity of the one true timeline like we didn’t time travel to alternate Draenor and and wreck just a lil havoc over there.
I personally feel like there's no way that have saved nozdormu from becoming murozond. Because if we truly have done that, then murozond doesn't happen, which means the infinite flight never happens, which means our timeline as we know it doesn't happen. Murozond needs to exist for our timeline to be what it is, because otherwise events in cataclysm with the infinites and garrosh doesn't happen, etc. Murozond has to happen for the world as we know it to exist. If they actually truly make it so nozdormu is saved there's almost no way that the writing won't be ^&*!. I'll be very dissapointed at least, because it makes no logical sense. Unless they expect to do a timeline reset/change for the preparation of 11.0 for next expansion and that's the theme of it.Nozdormu's curse is that he can never ever avoid becoming murozond, because doing so destroys the timeline as we know it. To truly protect the one true timeline he HAS to become murozond. It's really sad and ironic, and I love that concept.
