  • HEY, DID YOU ALL SEE "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR"?

  • HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MOVIE YET?

  • I SAW THE "CIVIL WAR."

  • I LIKED IT.

  • A LITTLE TOO LONG, BUT THEN AGAIN, SO WAS THE REAL CIVIL

  • WAR.

  • BUT I COULD NOT HELP BUT NOTICE WATCHING IT IN THE THEATER,

  • THRILLED BY THE MOVIE, SO MANY OF THE CHARACTERS SEEMED

  • TO HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON: IRON-"MAN."

  • ANT-"MAN."

  • SPIDER-"MAN."

  • MOVIE BLACK PANTHER...

  • "MAN."

  • THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE IS KIND OF A SAUSAGE-FEST.

  • AND I GOTTA SAY, ALL THAT SPANDEX REALLY SHOWCASES THE

  • SAUSAGE.

  • AND IT'S NO ACCIDENT.

  • IN FACT, IT WAS JUST REPORTED THAT "IRON MAN 3'S" VILLAIN,

  • ALDRITCH KILLIAN, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WOMAN ORIGINALLY.

  • BUT ACCORDING TO THE WRITER OF "IRON MAN 3," "WE WERE GIVEN A

  • NO-HOLDS-BARRED MEMO SAYING THAT CANNOT STAND."

  • THIS IS SHOCKING.

  • "IRON MAN 3" HAD A WRITER?

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

  • AND YOU WON'T-- I THOUGHT THEY JUST BLEW STUFF UP.

  • AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHY THEY HAD TO CHANGE HER INTO A HE.

  • EVIDENTLY, MARVEL DECIDED THE TOY WOULDN'T SELL AS WELL IF IT

  • IS A FEMALE.

  • ( AUDIENCE BOOING ) COME ON, IT MAKES SENSE.

  • GIRLS DON'T PLAY WITH DOLLS.

  • THIS IS SO DISAPPOINTING.

  • BACK IN THE 80s, WE WEREN'T SO HUNG UP ON THE GENDER OF OUR

  • HOLLYWOOD ACTION FIGURES.

  • I COLLECTED HANNAH AND HER SISTERS.

  • EVERYONE HAD MERYL STREEP FROM "SOPHIE'S CHOICE."

  • I REALLY STRUGGLED WITH WHETHER TO OPEN THAT ONE AND PLAY WITH

  • IT OR KEEP IT IN THE BOX.

  • IT WAS A REAL...

  • QUANDARY.

  • BUT I DON'T WANT TO SINGLE OUT "IRON MAN 3," BECAUSE IT'S

  • HARDLY THE ONLY FILM THAT WAS WRITTEN WITH A FEMALE VILLAIN

  • ONLY TO HAVE IT CYNICALLY GENDER SWAPPED AT THE LAST MINUTE.

  • TAKE DARTH VADER.

  • HE WAS FIRST WRITTEN AS DARELENE VADER, A TALENTED,

  • POWERFUL WOMAN WHO STRUGGLED TO BALANCE HER IMPERIAL AMBITIONS

  • WITH RAISING HER REBELLIOUS TWINS.

  • OR DOCTOR DOOM-- WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE A MAN?

  • ARE YOU SAYING A WOMAN CAN'T BE A DOCTOR?

  • OR BE AN EVIL TECHNO-SORCEROR?

  • THEY'D BETTER FIX THIS IN THE NEXT "FANTASTIC FOUR" MOVIE.

  • AND THERE BETTER NOT BE ANOTHER "FANTASTIC FOUR" MOVIE.

HEY, DID YOU ALL SEE "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR"?
