Question about some MCU things I've been wondering about

Hey Everyone, I just recently got really into the MCU and had a watch marathon over last few weeks from Iron Man until Endgame since I hadn't seen all the movies, mostly just watching the big event ones and it caused me to have some questions. Now maybe some of them are answered in future movies or maybe they aren't but here we go:

1. How does the concept of religion work in the MCU \[This isn't meant to raise controversy but a genuine question\]. If someone we're following a faith or religion and they live through the Thanos snap how does that alter their world view or beliefs because how would one feel knowing that there is a glove that can snap people out of existence?

2. I remember people saying that Thanos is much more ruthless in Endgame compare to Infinity War because he was younger and more bloodthirsty and hadnt really gone on his journey of wanting to balance the universe's resources but, the Thanos in Endgame is from 2014 iirc and Endgame takes place in 2023 due to 5 year skip and I've read online that they say Thanos is 1000 years old. So what is \~10 years to a being who is 1000 and would that be enough to alter his world view?

3. If the end of Captain America First Avenger had Red Skull get transported to be the protector or Guide to the Soul Stone based on what we find out in Endgame, that means it was in the 1940's then. But then question is who had that role or who was the guide before him because obviously those stone existed way before that?

Thanks for answering these questions!

I don’t think there is a concrete answer to any one of the questions you asked

Really even after so many years since?

Well the first two questions are speculative and highly based off characters in depth thoughts that we don’t have access to. As for the third, it was simply never shared.

I figure Endgame Thanos is more ruthless because he already saw his future and knows how it played out in the original timeline. He knows he can beat The Avengers and use the Infinity Gauntlet like he did in Infinity War, but he also knows that they come back and kill him for it later like at the beginning of Endgame, so he's not going to take any chances letting them live.

1. Some would worship Thanos, some would claim he's the devil, some would claim he doesn't exist, pretty much the same as you see in the real world.

2. Thanos is the same, the only difference is that in Endgame he doesn't have overwhelming power and has to actually fight with everything.

3. I don't recall exactly, but what I read a few years back was that there was a whole story involved with him that we don't see on screen. Might've been in a comic book? I'm sure someone knows the story there though.

1. I've wondered the same. It's never really addressed, though.

2. Infinity War Thanos was actively acquiring the stones. He was 100% confident in his victory after getting the second. Therefore, he was relaxed g could take his time. Endgame Thanos was desperate to gain that kind of power. So, he was more brutal & eager.

3. Wondered this as well.

1. Modern religion isn’t really discussed in any of the movies or shows. This is intentional to avoid controversy. Future entries that you have not seen to get into a bit of religion but only ancient and fictional ones.
2. Thanos is not much more ruthless in Endgame and even if it was, his age difference wouldn’t have been a factor. In Infinity War, he starts the movie with a stone and quickly gains another one. So he is extremely powerful and he knows it. In Endgame, he doesn’t have any stones and is fighting to gain all of them at once. The only way I can see people calling him more ruthless is due to his changed desire to destroy the universe and build a new one. This is because the extent the Avengers went to to reverse what he had done showed him that his plan wouldn’t accomplish what he thought it would.
3. This question is never answered and never could be. It’s possible there was a guide who was released because Red Skull replaced them. It’s possible there was no guide before for some reason. We just don’t know.

Thanos became more ruthless because he found out no one was grateful for him killing trillions.

1. Can’t really say nothing about religion. We have seen afterlife dimensions in the MCU based on what the characters believe, Wakandans in the Astral Plane, Stephen Grant in the Duat.

2. There are time dilations between planets. So you can’t really assume Thanos was 9 years younger from Earth year 2014 to 2023. In his time lifespan it could’ve been decades.

3. Yes the Soul Stone is as old as the Big Bang, so there would have been guardians before Red Skull. Maybe the previous ones died or their curse was lifted and given to someone else, a soul for a soul. Or maybe all the souls of the previous guardians are trapped in the stone. No direct answer here.
