From 2021 onward, there has been a noticeable uptick in regularly adding films by minority and female filmmakers to rectify this. For example, of the inaugural six 4K Ultra HD titles that November, one was female-directed (''Film/ThePiano'', making its Collection debut) and one African-American-helmed (''Film/MenaceIISociety'', which had last been seen in the [=LaserDisc=] collection). These tropes are virtually an non-issue with the Criterion Channel, which draws upon a much larger pool of movies and regularly features collections with such themes as New Korean Cinema, Women Directors of New World Pictures, and Afrofuturism.
* MisBlamed: Criterion got a lot of blame for the issues that plagued the ''Godzilla: The Showa Era'' release - the fact that the ''Film/Godzilla1954'' disc was just a recycled version of the 2012 release (which most people already expected, but that didn't stop complaints), the limited bonus features, the lack of access to source transfers for the titles (especially with the Japanese cut of ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla''), and the fact that the selling point was mostly the packaging, among many others. None of this is Criterion's fault, however - as described in further detail on the opening paragraphs of BadExportForYou, Japanese media companies have a reputation for being easily one of the hardest companies for Western distributors to work and negotiate with, ''Godzilla'' owners Creator/{{Toho}} being among the toughest of them, which is something that has been common knowledge since ''at least'' the release of ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah''. Their refusal to cooperate with Criterion on the set is the main reason the set ended up the way it did; many sources close to Criterion have stated that they wanted to do so much more with the set, only to be stymied by Toho at almost every turn.
