ELI5: Why is Bruce Lee so famous in comparison to the thousands of other top martial artists before and after him?
gpt
Uh, well he was not just a martial artist.  He was a movie star, which garners a whole lot more fame and fortune than martial arts alone.  Besides being a legendary martial artist we was a great actor and a genius of directing and performing action scenes in movies.  He partially or fully directed the action scenes of many of the movies he starred in.   

His movies were also very good and had totally badass fights.  They were kind of a sweet spot of kung fu movies that really appealed to American audiences in the 70s.  They had a lot of style and created a lot of the tropes we see in martial arts films.
