TLJ had an insane opening weekend and then the word of mouth was very poor. People either loved it or absolutely hated it.
And keep in mind that people WANTED to love TLJ.

I would argue that Disney/Marvel weren't pushing SJW angles to Panther but the media/writers/activists were. It wasn't like they made an all black Fantastic Four - it was a pretty close adaptation to Wakanda in the comix.
I think Black Panther and Luke Cage are the perfect examples of how to add diversity to your films: take diverse characters people already love and adapt them to the screen. And as far as female characters go I think they should have made a Black Widow (a known character people already like) way before a Carl Manvers movie. The character already has mystery surrounding her and fans know who she is. I WANT to know what happened to Black Widow.
You don't have to force diversity - you just quit ignoring that you have a plethora of diverse characters you can choose from...
