In terms of the physical design, the use of Brolin as a basis for Thanos' design resulted in the facial structure changing to match his. His nose, cheeks, lips, and chin are some of Thanos' features that are different in Guardians of the Galaxy. But, the most glaring difference is the change of his skin tone.
Thanos' appearance changed drastically over the course of his appearances as advances in CGI and motion capture technology allowed for better capture of Brolin's facial features. A new facial capture application called Masquerade was created for Infinity War and Endgame using machine learning.

Thanos has purple skin because he is an Eternal-Deviant hybrid. His Deviant genes make him look different from the rest of his species by giving him his brutish physique, height, and iconic chin. These Deviant genes likewise resulted in him having a completely different skin tone – purple.
It didn't stop there, he eventually absorbed the Living Tribunal, Eternity, and Infinity, and in the end, he even managed to take down the One-Above-All. As far as Thano's strongest forms are discussed, Astral Regulator Thanos is by far the strongest version of him due to having reality-breaking potential.
Harry Styles has entered the MCU as Eros, also known as Starfox, brother of Thanos.
Thanos, however, drew the shorter stick and inherited the Deviant gene, still diluted in the Eternals and capable of emerging from time to time. That's why Thanos looks like a giant purple guy; Thanos' Deviant gene deformed his appearance.
Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Titanian Eternals. The character possesses abilities common to the Eternals, but amplified to a higher degree through a combination of his mutant–Eternal heritage, bionic amplification, mysticism, and power bestowed by the abstract entity, Death.
While the Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy is supposedly dead, players learn a lot about him through conversations with their Milano crewmates. Since Gamora is Thanos' daughter, she reveals details about the Mad Titan and how he's impacted the universe prior to the events of the Guardians of the Galaxy game.
In Thor vol. 2 #25, the God of Thunder defeated the Mad Titan with the help of Fire Lord, who provided him with a set of special Asgardian weapons, including Belt of Strength, Odin Force, and more. Ultimately, Thor defeated Thanos with his trusted Mjolnir by smashing Mad Titan.
Meanwhile, Groot was around four years old during the events of the Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Then, in The Holiday Special and Vol. 3, he is around five to six years old. If you count the time he was snapped as lifespan, in that case, he is around 11 years old in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

He believed that by eliminating half of all lifeforms, he would be able to bring balance to the Universe and stretch the limited resource, making them more lasting.
Thanos is an Eternal, this means that he belongs to a race of ancient and superpowered beings created by Celestials. Thanos is, however, different than all other Eternals due to carrying a mutation in his genetic code which manifested as the condition known as Deviant Syndrome.
But this was proven otherwise when Thanos was born from two Eternals. As a result, he becomes host to the Deviant Gene, which alters his appearance but still technically makes him an Eternal. In the films, Thanos' appearance is never explained, and it is merely assumed that he's another alien species.
Zhao claims that she definitely wanted Eros to be introduced in Eternals, and after she set her eyes on Styles for the role, she gave Kevin Feige a kind of ultimatum in which it was going to have to be Styles or no one, stating that, "Harry as Eros was very much a package deal for me" in an interview with Deadline.
Additionally, Wanda demonstrated just how powerful she was in Infinity War, when she was able to repel Thanos while simultaneously destroying Vision's Mind Stone. So it stands to reason that Wanda would have been able to single-handedly whoop Thanos into oblivion, had he not called in cover fire from above.
Originally Answered: Why was Vision so powerless in Infinity War even though he possessed an Infinity Stone? Essentially he was taken by surprise by Corvus Glaive. The initial lancing through of his chest damaged him for the remainder of the film.
Why didn't Scarlet Witch use her mind control powers to make Thanos just walk away? Because she doesn't have mind control. She can mess with people's heads and induce fears/hallucinations in them. If she had mind control she's have used it in Civil War to confuse Team Iron Man and let Team Cap get away.
