I have no idea how to start this but I have questions:
Cryogenic Prisons: What's the point? You ice the crominals to release them years later? They remain in their prime, unchanged, and you're deopping them in a more advanced and usually more pacifist world, not ready for that kind of mayhem.
Clones: You take cells of say, a 39-year old guy. Put them in a tube, bada bing bada boom you have a 39-year old looking guy that happens to be 1 day old. Now thanks to Science, we know that the clones cannot be put on accelerated aging and they have their genetic clock going against them. At age 1 the Clone is a 40-year old toddler. Not to mention the clone having all the knowledge of the original up until the point the DNA was extracted.
Genetic Splicing: Take Man. Take Spider. Have them meet... you know where I'm going to.
Real Life gets you GITD AIDS CATS.
Time Travel: We've seen the movies, the TV shows, comics, videogames, etc. But assuming that time travel could be achieved, we need to take into consideration Earth's position in Space and universal expansion rate. Standing in your home in 2022 would probably mean floating on outer space in 1492. Now if we assume that we can do some fancy Mathematics and tether the time machine to Earth and end up in 1492... time traveling would kill the traveler. Exposing the traveler to foreign strains of bacteria and viruses, not to mention that I'd be exposing 1492 folks to foreign strains of bacteria and viruses. Same thing would apply if the traveler went to 2121.
Giant Robots: Shinji get in the Robot... save the world, jerk off on comatose girls later.
In reality, Mechs are impractical as hell. Easier target, top heavy, loud and logistically inefficient, especially in uneven terrain. I mean Our human legs fail us in uneven terrain, imagine how painful it must be for a 70 foot tall robot.
Laser blasters: pew! pew! But real life lasers don't work like the movies. They are too big, too bulky and too invisible to the naked eye. Don't even think of asking for a more elegant weapon from a civilized age.
VR/Holodeck: Nope, don't get me started on that...
I really need to go to sleep...
