laughter well the fans may not like this, but i tell you who will like this mary jane. Once you go black spiderman. Youll have to finish that. laughter another thing rocking the nerdiverse the allfemale ghostbusters remake. Apparently nerds arent afraid of ghosts, but they seem to be frightened by the ladies. But there is been some harsh backlash online about the upcoming estrogen powered ghostbusters starring mccarthy, kristen wiig, Kate Mckinnon and leslie jones. Angry fans of the original film stormed social media attacking the remakes director, paul feig. Larry thats how nerds riot, by the way. They storm social media. They burnt down tumblr, man why would they burn down their own . Before we all get mad at nerds, let me see if i can explain it to you. Nerds dont have a problem with women, they have a problem with change. Ill give you an example. Nerds are upset at black Storm Troopers in the star wars movie. Do they have a problem with a Storm Trooper being black . No they have a problem with you changing their definition of a Storm Trooper. Let me be a little clearer if the first time you introduce oatmeal to a nerd, it has maple syrup in it, it better have maple syrup in it every bleep ing time or its not oatmeal. Thats your fault. Now, if you want to change it you need somebody whos part of your origin story to explain that change. Like when star trek changed their origin story, they had the original spock come back to explain it to the new spock. Thats why nerds were cool. Well, they werent cool, but you understand what im saying. So the only way to calm nerds about black Storm Troopers isnt to recast star wars but to have a cherished character explain. Example Lando Carlissian could be talking to admiral akbar calm down, everybody. Its a black Storm Trooper. It wasnt my fault or obiwan this is not the black Storm Trooper youre looking for. Move along. Move along. Or darth vader im your phat with i am your father and the Storm Trooper is a brother and this is cnn. applause or yoda Storm Trooper negro laughs okay it is. But lady ghost buster weird it is. Here to shed more light on this situation is comic book nerd and black guy mike yard. Mike, welcome to the show. Mike thanks for having me larry. Larry so why is diversity in superhero movies so controversial . I heard rumors of a black batman. How come that didnt happen . Mike no, that did happen, larry. It was actually a big break for me. I got to play batman larry wait, this is unbelievable. You played batman . Mike yeah, want to see it . Larry hell, yeah, i want to see it. Mike take a look. What makes you think the guys going to show . Dont worry hell be here. Commissioner gordon, im here. bleep im on your side sounds of argument and fighting applause larry wow. That was short. Was that the trailer . Mike no, that was the full movie, larry. Larry oh, i know what happened there, mike. They needed michael keaton, a beloved batman, to come back and explain the changes in black batmans origin story. Mike nah. Black man lands on a roof in a mask, it doesnt take long for bad bleep to start happening. Larry i feel cheated. I wanted to see more mike me, too he should have been going down to his bat cave, making love to rihanna as bat girl, smoking bat blunts because you know bruce wayne gets that good scarecrow weed. Larry and fighting crime. Mike time permitting. Larry well, whats next . Are you going to make sure they have a beloved character to explain the change for your next part . Mike nope. Not with my new role. Lets see if those cops can catch black flash. Larry sounds smart. Mike yard, everybody well be right back. cheers and applause you want i fix this mess . A mess . I dont think whats that . Snapshot from progressive. Plug it in and you can save on Car Insurance based on your good driving. You sell to me . No, its free. You want to try . I try this if you try. Not this. Okay. Da [loud electric guitar solo] its a different kind of Peanut Butter cup. Smooth and crunchy butterfinger Peanut Butter cups. Now in minis. Larry welcome back. Were talking about race, gender and superheroes. Joining me on the panel tonight hiphop artist and comic book aficionado, jean grae. You can see him at the Kennedy Center in washington, d. C. On march 27. Comedian and host of the nerd of mouth podcast, mike lawrence, hes written and drawn every character from batman and wonder woman to spiderman and the xmen, comic book artist phil jimenez and director of content and Character Development at Marvel Comics and cocreator of the muslim ms. Marvel comic, sana amanat. cheers and applause you did it larry thats pretty good. Lets get to it. Theres been so many different characters over the years. I was talk tact resistance to change for example the star wars example. Sit racism, sexism or nerdism thats the problem . Everything. You cant limit it to one particular thing. I think people are just afraid of change and they dont like it when their toys are played with. I dont. I mean, i like my barbies. I still have them. Larry its a personal thing, its your toy box. I like my stuff, exactly. The reason its important is were trying to say were not trying to take away your toys, were just showing them in a different light. The thing no nerd wants to admit is most of the stuff we cherished wasnt ass good as we remembered it. laughter like when i saw the new Ninja Turtles, i said this isnt my Ninja Turtles because my my Ninja Turtles had vanilla ice and it was pure and my parents were still together larry that would be a sad memory of your Ninja Turtles go ahead. Seems to me we would partition race, gender and nerd as if they were this distinct thing. All human beings are a combination of experiences and ideology. Larry everybody mas nerd in them . Oh yes. Yes somehow the idea of being a nerd is separate from ones religious or moral or political beliefs is strange to me. We all bring everything to our Decision Making on a daily bay sits. Larry not so much im making a distinction between a nerd being separate from these things, im trying to get to what is the cause to the resistant to the change . Should there be illustration without representation . laughter getting militant about it. Sounds good no incredibly important, and, you know, i grew up next door to a comic book store and i have a brother who is six years older to me and he was really into comics which meant i was really into comics, which was great but for me i think it included superheroes and comings but also tvs and role models that i didnt get to see anyone who represented me. I was from south africa. Everyone was like, south africa, right which is a reason i didnt choose that name. Larry did you have anybody you identified with mike . I identified with magneto because im a jew who naturally repels people laughter and i was upset because i go see xmen first class and im like, yeah magneto going to be in it and hes played by a german speaking german which sounds like Something Like a german is in the camp. laughter larry any resistant to creating a muslim character . I think people were confused about it. Not much resistant at a marvel because people were excited and said this is a fundamentally marvel idea. Add the end of the day, the response, apparently im trying to convert people to islam. laughter and your superhero has problems, like if youve got to stop and pray five times a day its tough, man. Eating. Gets in the way of a lot of things. Larry your superhero cannot have pork . She cannot have bacon larry i know what exactly are her powers . That is her kryptonite. laughter but i think that character resonated with a lot of people because shes just some girl who happens to be muslim who wants to be a good person and then also, like, date some dudes and eat some cheeseburgers. Thats why i love her. Thats my life. I was raised very, very strict muslim and i like dating dudes and eating cheeseburgers. Choosecheeseburgers and dates. Larry its not what you know, its what you want. Dating and cheeseburgers. Im all over bacon i love it the weird thing to me is kamalakan lives in new jersey. How can you live in a place already doomed . It was the fact she was from new jersey. And she didnt listen to one bon jovi song come on were trying to save face for new jersey. Larry well talk more about this. Well be right at book club they were asking me what youre doing now, janice. Blogging. Your blog is just pictures of you in the mirror. Its called a fashion blog todd. Well, ive been helping people save money with progressives discounts. Flo, can you get janice a job .

The magnificent new turkey italiano melt. Only at subway. So heres the story of lancaster. The year is 1890. Milton hershey has a killer recipe for caramel. Flash forward miltons recipe is reimagined into buttery rich, smooth, surprisingly soft cremes. Its lancaster. Its caramel reimagined. Taxes are your year, only much simpler. Intuit turbotax. cheers and applause larry all right, welcome back to my diabolical lair of dastardly evil bad stuff. Laugh laughter Larry Wilmore . I dropped him into a volcano. I am the evil dr. Race card, destroying the white man with each flick of the wrist. Each of our panelists has an envelope in front of them and inside theyll find their superhero name, their two superpowers and their one weakness. But dr. Race card isnt going to make it easy for these heroes. Im going to give them each a scenario that will hopefully crush them. If they defeat me, they get a little keep it 100 cape very cute cheers and applause and if i defeat them, which i will, i will turn you back into an ordinary, puny human with my ray gun of doom laughter i feel like this is how larry quiet silence laughter the one they call sana, reveal your secret identity okay, my secret identity larry read it, please. I am the twizzler. I have the power to create anything out of licorice. My kryptonite hippopotami. Larry that would be the plural of hip hippopotamus or Something Like that. laughter larry twizzler, ive captured ms. Marvel and pushed her into my patented hippo pit. Ive also pushed a bus full of black School Children into my other hippo pit. Ive got hippo pits all over this town bwahahahahaha who do you save first, the first female muslim superhero or the nonfictional black School Children, and how do you save them . Okay. It will definitely be the black School Children. I love you kamalikan but i know you can survive this or better. Larry the black children on the bus . Yes. Larry anyone that would do that to black children, i have to give them a cape phil, which superhero are you . Let me see. I am the cuisinart kid power i can make food so wonderful its frightening. Controls weather kryptonite avocados. Larry ive taken two precious people prisoner. Wonder woman and Channing Tatum. Ive submerged wonder woman in a vat of guacamole and ive dunked the magnificent tatum in a humansized avocado taco salad. Who do you save . And keep in mind, Channing Tatum is real and helps people every day by just being himself bwahahahhaa i was going to say my aunt would have to be Channing Tatum because theres going to be a lot of meat in at taco salad. audience reacts larry i feel like i have to give you a cape mike, tell us your secret identity im admiral beardo. I can build really dlaightful furniture with my mind. I can also fly. My one weakness, halle berry. Isnt that everybodys . Larry hmm. We have something in common. My henchwoman halle berry has kidnapped some of your greatest influences, Patton Oswalt and anyone who ever wrote for the simpsons, and trapped them in her basement filled with mementos from the set of catwoman. And also mentos, the freshmaker. Who do you save and how do you save them . And did i mention bwawawawawawawaha i believe that i could save everyone except i would not save halle berry. What i would do is make her watch her performance in storm and i would hurt her larry any negative comments about halle berry will always be met with that yes cheers and applause jean grae, what is your superhero name . Oh, boy. Oh my superhero name is jean grae. Didnt see that coming. My powers are telepathy and telekinesis and i can speak to animals. My one weakness is that cyclops is my boyfriend and hes the objectively the worst xman there is laughter larry do you find it ironic that with your powers of telepathy you didnt already know who your superpower was . Slightly, but i havent larry all right silence im convinced your sorry. Ive convinced your dumb boyfriend cyclops to take you audit on a date. Hes taking you to applebees. Meanwhile, theres a fire at the xmansion, and professor x and wolverine are both trapped. Cyclops just ordered the appetizers. Cyclops just ordered the apps. How do you get out of the date, who do you save, and how do you save them . And what are the appetizers . The appetizers are all covered in cheese because thats what applebees does they cover everything in cheese. Larry i love applebees well be right back what do you think . When i first sit in the seat it makes me think of a bmw. I feel like im in a lexus. You would think that this was a brand new audi. Its like a luxury car. Feels kind of like an infinity. Very similar to a range rover. This is pretty high tech. Yeah it is. It reminds me of a mercedes. This is chevy . Laughing i have a new appreciation for chevy. They thought about me. I could totally rock this. This thing feels pretty boss. It looks kind of dope. Thats pretty cool. This is the jam. Pretty bomb dude. Maybe i will go chevy. Im definitely in. This little piece of hersheys chocolate. Is called a pip its the way we all start and end a hersheys bar. Pip by delicious pip. Hersheys is mine, yours, our chocolate.
