Bruce lee is not "just a legendary martial artist" the guy was WAY ahead of his time. He was utilizing protein shakes, electric shock methods to induce muscle growth, and many other things before even bodybuilders did. He discovered all of this himself.
Biggest legacy? Bruce lee. In entertainment? Stan Lee without a doubt.
Nice points. And it is definitely tricky, because as you say Bruce's legacy may be more global than Stan's, but Stan's efforts into entertainment are unmatched.
But Bruce essentially paved the way for guys like Jet Li, Jackie Chan ( among handfuls of other non-orientals ) and countless other martial artists in movies.
