A play on MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) citing the increased focus on progressive casting and writing, particularly women empowerment in Marvel and also Disney movies in general.
Previously male characters may be replaced by women (e.g. Captain Marvel), and storylines are often focused around making the women characters stronger or less flawed than their male allies and where male characters are prioritized in getting killed first or require unreasonable amounts help from their female counterpart. The same idea can be applied to most Disney movies, for example Rey in the Star Wars: Awakens and the Last Jedi, who sidelines both Finn and Luke Skywalker, when Rey is just learning the force and Luke is the most powerful Jedi Knight alive at that point in time. In the original Star Wars, Leia Skywalker was empowered in a meaningful way without making the male characters totally useless.
Whereas overt female empowerment is expected for a character like Wonder Woman or Black Widow, changing story lines or altering the gender of characters entirely according to an idealised agenda is often frowned upon by audiences. These kind of retro-active changes are often seen as not only ham-fisted, but unnecessary and detractive from, sometimes to the point of completely dismantling the underlying story.

Did you see the new MSheU movie?
No. I haven't watched a Marvel movie since Infinity War. All movies made by Disney suck now.
