"Where's Our Future Technology?" by Vsauce2

A recent episode of Vsauce2 features host Kevin Lieber and special guest Bill Nye explaining the problems with implementing so-called “future technology” like flying cars, teleportation, and lunar colonies. In the case of flying cars, the biggest problems seem to be safety and logistic concerns rather than the technology itself being limited.

"Hundred Waters - Clip "Innocent"" from Jeremy Clapin

Ultimately, the winner is UP TO YOU! We’ve left comments saying Audrey and Supes win below. LIKE the comment representing the alien you think should emerge victorious in this battle, and proceed to the next round of ALIEN WARS!"

"Everything Wrong With X-Men: Days of Future Past" by CinemaSins

"This is a movie about going back in time to erase previous terrible movies... so from a sin-finding perspective... it never stood a chance."
