I'd guess that "the market" would be perfectly happy with good movies in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones film franchises. What we've been getting is "deconstructions of the patriarchy" instead. That is, rather than continue the story of beloved characters, or have them become beloved mentors for a new generation, Disney has taken male characters, painted them as weak, stupid, or damaged, then inserted a female that is already completely awesome without any learning or earning. Said female berates the beloved character throughout the movie, then saves the day instead of the male character. They did this in Indy 5, they did this in the new Star Wars movies, they did this in Marvel's Secret Invasion, and She Hulk... And it's awful.
