8 Times Neil DeGrasse Tyson Ruined Your Favorite Films

2. The Good Dinosaur

Proving, once again, that he's not above destroying the dreams of innocent children, NDT lays into Pixar's fluffy dinosaur flick (although surprisingly, doesn't lay into the conspicuous lack of actual fluffy dinosaurs depicted).

No, Tyson's problem is one of evolutionary niches. The issue is that, in a world in which the majority of dinosaurs didn't perish in an asteroid impact, the human species would probably never have emerged at all. As a mammal in a dinosaur's world, it would behoove you to stay as small and insignificant as you can to avoid becoming a mammalian hors d'oeuvre.

But what about if we had evolved separately, on isolated continents, and met up as two fully fledged, dominant species in our own rights? Could we coexist? Even communicate?

"Then one day, they sail across the oceans, and meet one another..."

Magical.

"...and the dinosaurs eat us. That's probably exactly how that would play out."

Never mind then.
