MCU - About the Power Stone

[Jucaslucas]

I saw a screenshot of this dialogue and went to look for the clip, and it might or might not change how we should rate some MCU characters.

So, in this clip from Guardians 1, Gamora and Starlord are explaining how the Orb works, and she mentions something interesting: "The bigger the target, the bigger the power surge", to explain how Ronan would wipe the life of the planet if he touched it.

Seems like they're saying that the power stone's . . . power depends on the size of the target. That way, it would show a lot of energy when destroying, say, a moon or a planet, but when focusing on a much smaller target, like a human-sized object, it wouldn't be as powerful.

How I interpreted it, at least. What you guys think?

Bump?

That's really just referring to AoE, and that normally big blasts would have more energy.

But, you know how we treat AoE.

What does AoE stands for?

Hmmn, now I watch the film this might make sense. I'm not sure if Thanos's actually hitting Iron Man with the full power of the stone. A lot of people got hit by Power Stone blasts, Captain America, White Wolf (Bucky) and Okoye. They're definitely not 5-A.

It still has the power to destroy living beings if it's full power is directed at them. Okoye only survived because Thanos just swatted her away like a fly.
