Avengers: Infinity War is centered on the struggle for the Infinity Stones; six gems of incalculable power, each of a different kind: Space, Time, Soul, Mind, Reality, and Power. The mad space god Thanos (Josh Brolin) wants them all. It’s up to the Avengers to stop him.

Five of the six stones have been seen throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe; you probably spotted them all when you were watching The AvengersGuardians of the GalaxyDoctor Strange and more. But did you know that each stone reflects the theme of the Marvel movie it’s in? It’s true, and this new series of video essays by ScreenCrush’s Ryan Arey explains them all. This time we’re looking at the Power Stone, which is the focal point of Guardians of the Galaxy, and underscores just how much each of the Guardians feels powerless until they come together as a team to stop Ronan the Accuser from getting his hands on the Orb, which (spoiler alert) is actually the Infinity Stone in question.
