Do the main target audience for action films want to watch and listen to a female character who sports a typical "female personality" as written by a woman, though? I don't know if I want Monica from FRIENDS shooting nazis in WW2, I should think that'd kind of ruin the movie for me.

Magical Girl animes are pretty famous for emphasizing female personality stories. Madoka Magicka had romance and friendship. Of course, it didn't stop the magical girls from kicking ass once in a while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDYea3qPzSU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDYea3qPzSU Here: Sayaka is struggling with the reality of her situation. She has recently learned that she has her very soul has been ripped out of her. Without her soul, it is harder for Sayaka to feel the pains of conflict, both emotionally and physically. (By the end of the above fight scene, she has learned to regenerate her body, since the absence of her soul negates all pain she feels when her body is attacked). Her newfound ability to negate the feel of pain also negates her ability to feel intimate with Kyosuke. The implications of Sayaka's realization to "no longer feel any pain" ultimately drain on her psyche... and lead to an interesting situation regarding the romantic relationship between Sayaka and Kyosuke.

  The anime genre isn't exactly known for its correct representation of the real world.

    You bring this up when the subject includes Superman... a nearly invulnerable alien wearing Red and Blue spandex who can absorb the sun's energy, and who's only weakness is a rock that was found inside of his spaceship from when he was delivered to earth. Yeah, right. Most movies aren't known for correct representations of the real world. But good movies explore human emotions: romance, tragedy, adventure, etc. etc.
