Do you feel that we have reached a balanced ratio of male protagonists vs. female protagonists?

Looking at the movies that came out in 2015, I would say yes, if we don't include superhero movies, for obvious reasons.

Do you have some statistics so that we can have a discussion based on facts, or are you just going by your general impression from movies you know about?

And why should we exclude a significant and increasingly financially important genre? What is the obvious reason for excluding super hero movies? I don't see an obvious reason for excluding them.

Just counted the top 20-25 grossing movies of the year. Nothing scientific.

Simply because superhero movies are based on existing comics. Obviously the most popular superheroes will be made first and those are mostly male characters. I think that makes sense, not sure why you're making me explain it.
