The bronze dragonflight has the power to manipulate and travel through time. And yet they never do this to the benefit of the timeline only to protect it. Protect it from who? The infinite flight which is an offshoot of the bronze dragonflight led by non other than the leader of the infinite dragon flight’s future counterpart.
It all sounds kind of circular.
The bronze dragonflight is dedicated to protecting the timeline from the infinite dragonflight. But the infinite dragonflight wouldn’t exist without the bronze and thus the timeline would not be in danger.
Only bronze dragons have shown the ability to physically travel through time.
Now why is the bronze dragonflight obsessed with the “one true” timeline?
Think of all the disasters that could be averted if they decided to change it such as kill Azshara as a baby and the Legion never discovers azeroth.
Obviously I am not the only one to think this way Norzdurmu does when he becomes Murozond. So what changed? What was the catalyst that made him going from protecting a single timeline which countless suffering to trying to change time. In end time he orchestrates a timeline where deathwing wins and wipes out all life on azeroth and calls this a “preferable” timeline. Preferable to what? What happens that could be worse than deathwing winning?
Notable when Muozond dies he cries out. “Aman’thul you know not what you have done” Aman’thul is the head of the titan pantheon
What is he talking about?
What if the bronze dragonflights “one true timeline” leads to devastation? And the infinites are trying desperately to prevent it?
Perhaps we’ll get some answers in dragonflights.
Here’s hoping we get another caverns of time dungeon some point.
IIRC The Bronze flight is the Infinite flight and the bronze flight were charged with maintaining a timeline that allows the safe birth of Azeroth.
I always assumed they went all evil because Azeroth waking up eats or obliterates all life on said planet and that was why everyone dying before she woke up was preferable in comparison to what the titans want.
This is WoW, it’s like magical australia and everything wants to eat you or control you
Besides like 1 exception in the war of the ancients the only changes is stuff in alternative timeline this one has to stay pure to prevent what the titans viewed as the one true time line.
So im not arguing that they arent the bad guys just saying they might be like us and not know they are the bad guys
So Nozdormu preforming a time heist to steal a non destroyed Dragon Soul so we could defeat Deathwing wasn’t using his abilities to protect the main timeline? I would say that was a benefit to the timeline but as Murozond warns us, it might not be.
So have the Infinites but the Infinites were bronze dragons.
Then new disasters will take their place. Aka The butterfly effect. The game even gives us an example of one. If the Horde was never brought to Azeroth, the human kingdoms of Lordaeron would erupt into civil war and kill each other. The Legion would still find another way to invade the planet.
Indeed, if the orcs never make it to Azeroth, the Alliance will never form. Eventually civil war will break out, further weakening the human kingdoms. Ultimately the Burning Legionwill invade Azeroth, destroying it in the absence of any defenders. - https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/The_Black_Morass_(quest)
Unfortunately that is a tragic truth. Sometimes horrible events have to occur in order to prevent even worse ones. That was the whole point of Murozond trying to ensure the Hour of Twilight succeeded. Because the ‘True End Time’ was infinitely worse. To provide another example. During the altered WotA’s, Older Krasus found a hidden clutch of Blue Dragon eggs. The Bronze Dragonflight agreed to take care of them. Preventing the Blue Dragonflights near extinction in the original ‘true timeline’. And yet what event nearly led to the near extinction of the Blue Dragonflight this time around? The Nexus War.
To bring in an example outside of WoW. In the Dreamworks / Netflix She-ra reboot. Adora is brought to Etheria by Light Hope. Whom intends to bring balance to the planet (by ensuring every Runestone has a Princess attuned to them. She-ra’s runestone being the one without a Princess following Mara’s sacrifice). If Hordak never stumbled his way to Etheria and invaded, Light Hope would’ve gaslighted Adora and fired off the Heart of Etheria. A weapon of universal destruction. Thankfully (in a twisted way), Hordak’s invasion denied Light Hope two important things. 1. Princess Scorpia was not attuned to her runestone as her kingdom was conquered by Hordak and his Horde. 2. Hordak tracked down a portal (believing it was Horde Prime) and found a baby Adora. In the end Light Hope was destroyed (after bringing Etheria back to reality but before she could fire off the weapon) and Horde Prime was killed. Which outcome is the better outcome? Universal destruction at the hands of a deranged AI or a galactic tyrant dying?
A real life example would be seasonal cullings to prevent overpopulation of a prey species. Which can have dire consequences for their eco system if not natural predators exist. Just look at Cane Toads here in Australia.
Most are not evil. They just end up going crazy and will end up attacking and sometimes killing the good and the bad. Black is mostly evil a few are good. Bronze is next flight that is closest to being full evil.
With the animated shorts, I have been wondering, what if Nozdormu trying to save Neltharion of becoming Deathwing is what makes him go mad? What if saving him is what starts a butterfly effect that ends with the “True end times”? And Nozdormu becomes Murozond trying to fix what he did.
Danuser is a hack so anything goes, but I would assume at this point that the “True End Time” is whatever scared Zovaal so much he cried about them as he died. Murozond would rather life be wiped about by Deathwing than allow whatever the six cosmic powers fear to enter our reality.
So you’re calling Chromie evil? The Infinite Dragonflight are really the Bronze and its a huge SHIELD/Hydra type of scheme? … I doubt it, but wouldn’t put it past these writers.
The only thing I can think of is the birth of Azeroth. She’s a threat to all the cosmic forces. She’s supposedly a titan but also supposedly more powerful than all the other titans combined.
… I doubt it, but wouldn’t put it past these writers.
