usually, by "woke" movies people mean movies only made for the sake of being "woke", no? like its only message is "here's all the diversity, look, look, at our big woke diverse movie! now, give us the moneys we are so diverse look at us and don't bother us anymore with your agenda!"
Black Panther was seemingly made for the sake of being the MCU's first black-lead movie. And it's great. Drag can't think of any other movies made for the sake of being woke, so we'll just have to rely on this sample size of 1 which says woke movies are awesome.
How much are we considering earlier Marvel as part of the MCU? Because even though it was before Iron Man/Hulk and the official "start" of the current MCU, a lot of people seem to forget that the Blade Trilogy existed...
