Iron Fist was disliked for political reasons, and Inhumans suffered from NO ONE involved actually wanting to make it.

Going by movies alone, the MCU still wins.

Doctor Strange and Iron Man 3 whitewashed orient characters, remember?

If they had white actors playing an Asian role then you can call it "whitewashing". But they didn't.

The Ancient one was changed to avoid the tired old cliche of the "Oriental Sage", which makes perfect sense. In it's place there is a character that they state clearly is Celtic. It's not as if you really care, I mean if you did you'd also complain the chosenhas changed sex as well!

As for Mandarin...the comic book character is of English/Asian parentage. Ben Kingsley is of English/Asian parentage.

Guy Pearce is not the "true" Mandarin....your complaint isn't then about "whitewashing" but not actually portraying the character (and again I don't think you really care, you just was to throw sahde at the MCU). Anyway, in the short film "All Hail the King", which is considered part of the MCU, the real Mandarin is hunting down the fake one. Fake Mandarin was employed to pretend to be the real Mandarin.
