Isn't that a low bar? They did for the first time in superhero movies what regular movies had done far more often, not to mention stuff like documentaries and TV and so on.
The point is Doctor Zhivago was the major blockbuster of the '60s and 70s and so on and it had a POC male lead in what is adjusted for inflation still one of the highest grossing movies all time. So even having a non-white male lead isn't some new thing. Or you know go back to the 1940 THIEF OF BAGDAD where the Indian actor (i.e. South-East Asia) Sabu got to be the hero and he actually got to kill the bad guy played by a white guy. Having a major children's movie where the audience roots for a POC against a white villain is way more subversive than what Marvel has done, where Black Panther is essentially black-on-black violence, which was quite popular with African-American audiences (

Even Quentin Tarantino's Django revolves around that, so much so that Will Smith walked out of that movie because as he said, "I have to kill the bad guy" i.e. Leonardo DiCaprio's character. (

I mentioned Fruitvale Station by Ryan Coogler, also Mudbound, or US or GET OUT, and other films by Denzel and Will Smith. Giving excessive credit to Disney takes the spotlight from stuff that got things done earlier, better, and deeper, people who took real risks and did stuff well before.
I have no problem with people liking Black Panther or excited for Shang Chi.
I have a problem crediting the movies to Disney as if there was some implicit connection, as if there was any real courage in doing the right thing after doing everything else.
