How does Thanos know the name of Iron Man or how does he know Tony in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War?

-

 Thanos knowing about Tony Stark did not intrigue me as much as Thanos telling him that he isn’t the only one cursed with knowledge.

Many people have surmised that Thanos used the Soul Stone to peer into Tony’s soul to understand him. This is a plausible theory, but I do not think it is the only one way Thanos knows Stark.

To explain my theory, we must go back to the Battle of NY. Thanos sends in Loki to get the Tesseract, and to aid in his quest, he provides him with his scepter (which houses the Mind Stone).

Here is where it gets interesting. I believe Thanos still had a link to the Mind Stone even after Loki lost possession of it on Earth. We know the stone is strong: Loki used it to telepathically order Selvig and Hawkeye to do his bidding. Therefore, it’s plausible that Thanos could have his mind connected to the Mind Stone still in a way.

Ok, now let’s skip to Age of Ultron. How did Scarlet Witch get her powers? The Mind Stone. Who caused Tony Stark to have his life-altering vision seeing all the dead Avengers? Scarlet Witch.

With his visions and his new knowledge, Tony expedited the Ultron project, which leads to the Sokovia incident. The Sokovia incident will eventually lead to the drafting of the Sokovia Accords, which leads directly to the split of the Avengers’ leaders… all set in motion by Thanos sending the Mind Stone to Earth with Loki.

Tony’s nightmares, all his worries, his paranoia - it’s all Thanos the whole time. Thanos knows about Stark because he has been watching him through the eyes of his underlings the whole time. This is why he calls Scarlet Witch ‘my child’ at the end of Infinity War: her powers exist because of him.

Thanos knows about Stark’s knowledge because Thanos cursed him with It: he corrupted Tony’s mind. Thanos has seen the inner workings of Stark’s brain and he likes It - he sees a genius with the fortitude to do what must be done to save his people. He sees a man who is willing to sacrifice to save his planet.

Does that sound familiar to you? It’s exactly what Thanos tries to do to save his world. Thanos sees himself in Tony. Maybe we are to assume that when Thanos came into possession of the Mind Stone, he too was cursed with knowledge by it as well.

Why is Scarlett Johansson leaving Marvel? Was it her decision or Disney's?

Well lets see . . .   Disney is ready to move on and wants Yelena Belova to become the new Black Widow , just like we saw in the comics. And it seems like Johansson is OK with the idea of leaving. Scarlett Johansson and director Cate Shortland recently spoke with  The Gentlewoman . Shortland revealed that Black Widow was possibly Johansson's last film as The Black Widow. The idea of finality for Johansson as this character contributed to the making of the film, according to Shortland : “She really pushed to make something that wasn’t flimsy or superficial. She wanted to make something that meant a lot to young people and to women. And she knew it was possibly her last film as Black Widow – she didn’t want to leave Marvel making a feel-good movie.” Johansson herself added that the experience of doing her own solo film was "exposing": “She’s always been a part of something bigger than herself, and now that’s all gone. Yeah, it was exposing. But it was  time , you know?&quo

(Spoilers for LOKI! )In the MCU, does the TVA have authority over very powerful entities like the Celestials, Dormammu, Odin, etc.?

SPOILER ALERT!!!  The TVA seems to have power over beings in the Sacred Timeline which would include the Celestials and Odin but not Dormammu. If we belIeve the  TVA , the Multiverse used to be at war and to stop this great war the  Time-Keepers  have been undoing the Multiverse and creating one Universe called the  Sacred Timeline. Even if this is true the Multiverse does exist and beings like  Dormammu  live in an alternate dimension and seem to out of the control and dominion of the  TVA . Dormammu Dormammu  exists in and is the absolute ruler of the  Dark   Dimension . The  Dark   Dimension  is not controlled by time and it would seem is not under the control of the  Time-Keepers. Dark Dimension It’s possible that  Dormammu  and the  Dark   Dimension  was part of the Multiverse war and even though he didn’t win,  Dormammu  is not controlled nor effected by the  Time-Keepers . Since the first Sorcerer Supreme discovered the existence of other dimensions it has been their sole purpos

(Spoilers for Loki) How does the Time Variance Authority have multiple sets of Infinity Stones?

-

  Because as evidenced by the Time Authority variants are appearing all the time. We saw the Time Variance Authority processing and sentencing Variants who could destroy the Sacred Timeline and send the universe into a multiverse war again. If a Loki Variant could steal one Tesseract (one infinity stone) then why couldn't other variant beings do the same thing? Evidently other variant beings did try to steal or use an infinity stone and they were captured and their infinity stone was probably taken from them. Even though Loki Variant took the Tesseract, it still exists in the time when Steve Rogers returned the stones. The copy of the Tesseract like other infinity stones I’m sure came to the Time Variance in similar fashion. So it would seem the Time Variance keeps such trinkets as paperweights. I hope that clears up any confusion!
