Indiana Jones and Laura Croft both made good main characters.

The trouble I have is when you move from relatable characters to forced cookie cutters in order to keep a small subset from objecting.

And there is also a problem, the people who object may not have watched what you did in the first place. In the entertainment industry it is very important to separate criticism from potential marker, and criticism from non potential market. This is one of the reasons NASCAR and the NFL are both in decline. They are trying to satisfy people who are not interested in being customers.

I am not the target market since when it comes to CG I'd rather the immersive experience of a video game over a movie.

For movies I prefer something that requires more human acting, real sets, etc... such as Buster Keaton.

The problem with taking a male character and swapping it to female is that you potentially lose your original base.

Better to make a new character, new name, etc. It is a different character, and will have different appeal.

Who would want to see Wonder Woman played by a man?
