Cased inside The Orb, this one was found on an abandoned colony planet called Morag, and used to both plan and prevent a genocide on Xander (yet another planet)-giving viewers a strong sense of the massive impact this powerful gem can have. Guardians of the Galaxy unveils yet another Infinity Stone, the Power Stone. This film also further explains the existence of the Infinity Stones, and you find out that the Aether (Reality Stone) was made by Malekith (Thor’s enemy and King of the Dark Elves) and is kept in the intergalactic museum of The Collector (one of the Elders of the Universe). Now that the previous two movies have given you a better understanding of Thor and Loki’s relationship, Thor: The Dark World is perfect to further explore why these two brothers have always been at loggerheads. is seen as more than just the ‘good guys’-the World Council orders a nuclear attack on American soil in a disturbing turn of events. The storyline instead focuses on the Tesseract, brought to Earth by Loki and eventually taken back to Asgard by Thor.

Loki returns as an antagonist with a powerful sceptre housing another Infinity Stone, eventually leading the Chitauri invasion in New York that makes the existence of dangerous aliens public knowledge. The Avengers naturally continues the themes and character arcs seen in Thor (2011). Coulson and Hawkeye both play important roles in this one.

This feature also lets viewers in on the modern-day iteration of S.H.E.I.L.D. By the time you watch this, you’ll already know who Howard Stark is because of The First Avenger, and thus will be better placed to get introduced to his son (who is sure to become one of your most loved Marvel characters), Tony Stark. Though Iron Man was technically the first (released) MCU movie, chronologically it fits better at spot number three. It also sets up the Kree, an alien race that is later seen in Guardians of the Galaxy.
