HOTU or HOTI

Why do we keep using the term "Heart of the Universe" instead of the term "Heart of the Infinate"? I know that Thanos once refered to it as such, but all of Marvel's handbooks list it as the Heart of the Infinate, which when you think about it is a much more accurate discription. The term "Heart of the Universe" implies that it's universal in the scope of it's power, but the term "Heart of the Infinate" much more accurately implies that it's multiversal in it's scope of power. Like the Living Tribunal or the Phoenix Force, there is only one HotI for the entire Marvel Universe, so which term should we be using?

It was called Heart of the Infinite first? Wasn't Thanos still trapped on Earth when he absorbed an M-body of the Tribunal? Wasn't it God(TOAA) who manipulated Thanos? Isn't God(TOAA) the creator of the Living Tribunal? To me, that's why The End didn't make sense. Why would God(TOAA) let Thanos humble everyone including his servant(LT).

It was called both

Origianl was Heart of the Infinite. And HOTU destroyed whole LT and not only M-body.
If he would destroy only M-body, why then TOAA himself had to manipulate THOTI.

Alot of speculation said it was an M-body? Who knows? Again, just didn't make any sense why God would let his creation lose?

THOTI was it's original name given to it by a Celestial order.

It was Thanos himself who dubbed it THOTU.

Both ways are technically correct, but one way is MORE correct then the other (THOTI).

TOAA wouldn't care that Thanos destroyed LT or any of the other Abstracts, because he knew that once everything was all said and done, the Multiverse would be as it was.

Thank u, Galan007. Very good reply.

Does it matter? Everyone pretty much knows the name of it. HOTU, HATU, Datu, PLatu, Natu, Latu, Zatu. Whatever it was.

What exactly is M Body? I take it thats the body of LT in that particular dimension, therefore its not his real being? Because I did read that he resides in the Multiverse, and is not really seperate but still one being.

Now that that's settled, we don't need a thread dedicated to a pronunciation discrepancy. Closing.
