Even films that feature male leads don't always have a love interest

Replace "even" with "often" and you'll see why people are excited about Merida not needing a romance. It's generally understood that a guy can carry out an action/comedy movie without a necessary romantic subplot, but for a female protagonist, even in an action/comedy, romance is needed. Alice and Lilo got a buy because in Alice's case, it was based on a surrealist book with no romance, and in Lilo's case, she was, like, five. And her sister got the romance instead (less of a romance, more of a relationship though). Mulan didn't get hitched, but the romantic subplot was still included.

Merida isn't a child (presumable 15/16 here?) and carries an action movie without a romance. That kind of is a big deal.

I'll give you Lilo and Alice but Merida is not really an action movie star as far as I'm concerned. She fires a few arrows that do nothing into the shoulder of a bear (I kept wanting to scream 'Just run away; you're not helping!') and has one sword fight with her father (which was indeed very awesome but all of 30 seconds long).

Mulan? She kicks a lot more ass than Merida. I'd consider her far more of an action star than Merida. Hell, I'd consider Rapunzel from Tangled a better action star than Merida; she's pretty bad ass with her hair whipping and braving a world she knows nothing about.
