    This video felt a bit off. The "wat is AC" stuff I think underestimates your audience a fair bit - and for those who don't yet know what AC is, I think they'd need a longer and more thorough explanation. The science demonstration bits in this video all seem pretty tame. ~and you just don't really go into depths with what scientific accuracies the film had (or didn't have). You mention that it takes a few liberties, but what are these? Are there any scientific inaccuracies? What are they? What impressed you? That's the stuff I'm expecting from SvC - not "look a hotdog gets warm".

    It isn't quite so simple. Tesla worked for Edison's company but he wasn't his assistant. It is thought that Tesla only met Edison a few times. Edison also had many of his most famous inventions before he ever met Tesla, and there is no evidence he stole anything from Tesla. Quite the opposite, he wasn't interested in Tesla's motor, which is one of the reasons Tesla left.

Tesla only work for Edison in order to make a special arc light for street lamps, it took him to long that a rival company invented a better and cheaper beat him to the market. A disappointed Edison shelved the project, Tesla demands he still deserve the bonus that was promised to him. Edison disagreed.

    AC won but that's for the brutal system of electricity we currently use, where you have massive electricity-generating structures around the country belching planetary global-warming gases to keep the electric economy going. In future, we hopefully will have small local electric-generating facilities (using renewable energy) and for these, DC will be the best electric energy to use. Because guess what? Just about all modern electrical devices (take your computer, for example) want to have DC voltage to run. So currently (pun intended), we have to go through all kinds of twists to get electric power from power generation stations into your computer. Ramp up voltage from generation station to send it over super high-power electrical wires suspended on Huge transmission towers -> substations to bring voltage level down for local transmission over utility poles -> transform it at each house to lower voltage for house current. Then in device, use bridge rectifier with capacitor to turn it into DC. All these transformations waste a lot of energy! In future, hopefully we just use DC from Photovoltaic cells or something like that. Not have these brutal gross pylons straddling the country sending massively-high-voltage electricity all over the place. People have been known to develop disease when living near these monstrous AC transmission towers! So Edison may have been right all along, perhaps not for his time of 19th and 20th centuries, but for 21st century and beyond.

    The movie is missing... A LOT. XD They only executed a horse in that movie and decided that the audience don't deserve to know how Edison paid some kids to steal people's pets so he can execute them as well. Perhaps if you tell Edison that you prefer Tesla he will kill your pets. Too soon? But what I didn't liked was how Tesla was turned into a fool who never invented anything but only had "ideas in his head" in this movie...
