In Avengers: Infinity War, why was Red Skull where the Soul Stone was with the knowledge of the Soul Stone?

Does anyone know who else is in the soul stone? And if anyone has used its power before?      What happens to Red Skull after the soul stone was taken from Vormir?

In Avengers: Endgame      Thanos and his spaceship jump into the future and fight the Avengers.   Towards the end of the battle the ship's cannons rotate upwards and begin firing at the approaching       Captain Marvel.   This was a direct contradiction of the order Thanos himself gave when he commanded the ship to fire at the ground, regardless of whether he was hitting his own troops or not.  Clearly someone on board the ship had the authority to ignore the order and decide to fire somewhere else instead.  Who was it?  Presumably some information exists in the MCU about who is in charge of the ship when Thanos isn't on board.

After being created and brought to life by a stroke of Thor's lightning      Vision casually passes Thor his hammer without even straining.   I think there was a gasp from the cinema audience at this point, I'm quite confident this was not in the comics.  Why is this character deemed worthy to lift Mjolnir?  I see three possible reasons:      The mind stone, an infinity gem, overpowers/overrides Odin's enchantment     Thors lightning imparts some of his worthiness     Vision is considered worthy by Odin    Which is it it, or is it another option?

Presumably, the massive sacrificial altar and a guide like the Red Skull is no longer needed once someone obtains the Soul Stone.  So what happens to the Red Skull?

In Avengers: Endgame, after recovering the 6 Stones, Hulk snaps his fingers and brings back all the lost characters but he can’t bring back Black Widow or Gamora as the sacrifices for the Soul Stone are final. However, he explicitly states he tried.  Since those characters had not died because of the snap it’s clear the resurrection part doesn’t need to be limited to just the snapped out people, do we have any information about all the people who died for reasons other than the snap? Were they resurrected too or are they still death?  I’m thinking here of Vision, Loki, the people from Xandar, the Dwarves, all the casualties on the fight with Thanos, etc.

Throughout Avengers Infinity War movie, we see Thanos fight with one or more Infinity Stones. So he's using their power to win against the Avengers. But does he have any superpowers without these stones or is he just a skilled fighter strong enough for his size.

As :     The film opens with Red Skull breaking into a church and stealing a hidden Tesseract. But why was it there in the first place?    Is there a possibility it was a gift to the vikings by Odin himself?      Surely such a powerful object wouldn't be hidden behind a brick wall in Norway. Why wasn't it kept in Asgard along with all the other powerful items that Odin owns?

In The Avengers, Black Widow and Hawkeye, alongside other Avengers were in a battle which I cannot remember. However, they were distinctly talking about the Budapest being similar to the battle they were currently in. What really happened in the Budapest?

Bucky (Winter Soldier) has a metal arm (possibly made from vibranium?) but it's an attachment to his body as far as I understand. Why, when Thanos destroys half of the universe at the end of Infinity War, does his metallic arm also disappear with him? Shouldn't it be left behind as his gun did?

Although my question is based on the comic mini-series Infinity Gauntlet issues #1 through 6, I'm open to any and all answers (i.e Movies, other comic books etc. etc.) across the Marvel multi-verse.   It was elegantly presented in the Infinity Gauntlet series how Thanos, after collecting all the soul gems snaps his fingers and destroys half the universe.  Additionally, in the recent movie Avengers: Infinity War,       Thanos does it again! He snaps his fingers and destroys half the universe.   However, one thing is unclear to me. In both cases,      Half the universe is destroyed (or obliterated, or erased from existence).   But who decides which half of the universe should not exist anymore? Does the wielder of the Gauntlet choose, or is the Gauntlet (along with the stones) sentient enough to make the decision?

There is this one little thing that I don't quite get at the end of Avengers: Endgame.  After Thanos was defeated, Captain took the stones back to where they were originally taken to "correct" the timeline. However we see that Cap has the 6 stones in their "Raw" form, but that is not how all of them were taken.   For example in 1970 Tony didn't take the Space Stone but the Tesseract, so I assume they extracted the Space Stone in the present (by breaking the Tesseract like Thanos in the Infinity War movie?).   So how could Cap return the stone to the rightful place when he actually needed to return the Tesseract? Or am I missing something here...   The same goes for the Mind Stone, which was inside the Gem on the Staff Loki had in the first Avengers movie.

In the Thor movie, Thor puts Mjolnir  on top of Loki at the end of the movie to stop him from moving.  Why did this not crush Loki?  And if it did not crush him, why could he not just roll out from under it?

Doctor Strange seemingly has the ability to open portals wherever he wants. We see at the beginning of Infinity War what happens when he closes a portal and someone isn't fully through it.  Is there any reason why he can't open a portal around the left-elbow of Thanos, and then close it?  I realize that Thanos probably wouldn't allow this to happen normally,      but when he is mostly asleep, and Tony and Spider-Man are pulling on the gauntlet, Doctor Strange has ample opportunity, and plenty of space to just sever Thanos' arm.   Why doesn't he?

Sorry for the cryptic title, but I realise the film has only just been released in the UK and Europe and is yet to be released in the US.  I'll hide all substantial parts of my question, just in case. I don't want to spoil anything.     At the end of Age of Ultron, Thor states that 4 infinity stones have now shown up in the last few years.   So,     By my count we have the Tesseract, from several of the first few films. The Aether, from Thor 2. The Chitauri Scepter, again from several films. And finally, we have The Orb, from Guardians.    Now, to my knowledge     Thor, and indeed none of the Avengers, should know about The Orb. I don't remember Thor visiting the Collector between GoTG and the AoU. So, how did Thor know that The Orb had appeared? Or is he referencing a different infinity stone?   I'm looking for an in universe answer, ideally.

So, we know that the Mirror of Erised was the ultimate guardian to the Stone in the first Harry Potter book, but we also know that it wasn't there until about the New Year. The Stone was there for perhaps 4 months before that. Was it just as protected as it could be during those months, or perhaps the mirror was moved back briefly so Harry could look into it? Just curious if there's ever been anything official on this matter.

It was mentioned in the movie  as well as in  and confirmed , that:     Knowhere — the mining colony located on the edge of the universe in the decapitated head of a long-dead [Links added by me]   Which Celestial Being did the head belong to? (if known).  I have also checked the , but the closest thing to its origins was this line from the creators (Dan Abbnett and Andy Lanning):     Honestly, they just came to us. The severed Celestial head was, I think, something that popped out of Andy's mind one day. Similarly, one morning, I said "what about a talking Russian dog?" We run with these things and develop them together. It's hard to pin down where exactly they originate.

Since these plot points are fairly important for Avengers: Endgame I'm going to put them all in spoiler paragraphs.  The Avengers are able to       bring back all of the characters who were snapped in the last film, including Doctor Strange. Stark finds Strange in the final battle and asks him about what he saw in Avengers: Infinity War when he saw 1 successful outcome in 14,000,605 and whether they were living in that reality. Strange says that if he were to tell Stark whether they were in that successful version or not then it could not come to pass (or words to that effect).   Later on, at a pivotal moment,       Strange turns to Stark and indicates the number one to him. This prompts Stark to sacrifice himself. However, didn't this violate the very rule which Strange had outlined just a few moments before? Didn't telling Stark that by taking on Thanos he could realise Strange's vision mean that, by Strange's own logic, that Stark should have failed?   So was Strange talking nonsense when he said that      he couldn't let Stark in on the secret? Or is there some other explanation for what happened that I've missed?
