Man, I would consider myself a pretty big comic nerd and I just can't wrap my head around why people care so much about using different characters or even a gender/race swap for the sake of making a lineup of characters that don't all look the same. It's boring when there's a bunch of dudes (mostly white) in a row fighting the bad guys.

Comics have been gender/race swapping their characters for the sake of more sales and inclusion since the beginning of comic books. It's not a new thing Disney came up with. I don't look at the movies as anything different than when a new writer/artist takes on a comic series and changes some things for the sake of something fresh. It happens all the time. God forbid some of your daughters have a cool character to enjoy.
