physical or emotional protection
The machine
- Star wars force awakens.
- Tangled
- Mulan
- Transformers
- Avatar (Blue people)
Could probably come up with more.
Any of the Sailormoon movies possibly?
Tuxedo Mask usually gets more into trouble than the heroine herself.Although I wouldn’t actually count him as weak, just weaker.
And it’s an old anime series, like starting in the 1990s, with later reboots.Lego Movie
A sadly underappreciated show:
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
Easily the best terminator property after the first two. I mean that’s not a high bar, but i mean it should be held in the same esteem as they are.
I loved it! Binged all day!
Awesome! Be prepared, though: it’ll break your heart. They had the story worked out. Was going to be 4 seasons. We got 2.
Hunger games
Alita: Battle Angel i think was like this a bit, but it is maybe not straightforward enough
maybe the no game no life movie , but i dont think that is really what you are looking for
Mary Poppins
Alien (if you count the cat)
28 Days Later
Run Lola Run (sorta)
yes on Mary Poppins and Run Lola Run
Alien (if you count the cat)
I count Ripley following protocol and refusing to open the airlock for a contaminated crewmate. If Ash hadn’t stepped in, the movie would have ended very differently.
I don’t remember much of that movie, but an Aliens / Evil Dead crossover sounds like a lot of fun.
I think that would work best as a comic. The two movies are too different in tone to put on screen.
That’s fair, I feel like I could support the project either way.
Also she defended Burke when the Marines were going to kill him for what he did. I mean she wanted him punished but… Letter of the law here. He was weak, she defended him.
That’s in the sequel tho innit?
Yeah, but that’s ok isn’t it?
Yeah I just thought you lot were talking about Alien 🤷♂️
I meant that Jonesy is the weak male that Ripley physically and emotionally protects.
Jonesy is a good cat
Terminator 2 is probably the easiest answer.
no Terminator is the main protector in movie
But John was just a teenager tho
The Long Kiss Goodnight
The first Underworld from 2003 is like this, but it’s painfully early 2000s. It’s from that era when every action movie was ripping of The Matrix as hard as possible.
this looks like the closest match thanks
Pain? No that feeling is wonder.
It is wonderfully early 2000s.
Kate Beckinsale younger and in leather. Nice.
In the universe I’m originally from she’s clad in shiny vinyl (yes, please) and her name was Beckinsdale.
Before she destroyed her voice so bad she is unwatchable. I will add that it could be bad editing in her last few movies that make her voice so bad.
Not movie, but Powerpuf Girls, Kim Possible, and Totally Spies
Totally Spies
My God, this thread is taking me down the memory trip. Me likey
Shera as well
Steven Universe too!
Inspector Gadget, too.

Wanted (2008 film) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanted_(2008_film)
Angelina Jolie carries the protagonist until he can learn to fight on two feet
First matrix. Trinity is much more skilled than Neo until the final act.
Similarly - Edge of Tomorrow Emily Blunt is skilled and trains Tom Cruise until he’s competent enough to save the world. By the end they’re both extremely competent. Only reason Tom Cruise saves the world and not her is due to the timeloops. She’d already done it once.
I wish they had followed the original story. The ending is very different.
Do you mind spoiling us please?
They both still loop in the story. Before killing the big bad they fight to the death because the loop will keep repeating unless there is only one mimic (the reset aliens and both of them) at the end of the day.
He kills her and the other mimics then the big boss. Ending the loop at the cost of her life.
I am extremely happy they didn’t end the movie that way, what an unnecessarily depressing ending
Depressing endings are so rare in movies that I, personally, often enjoy them for the novelty if nothing else.
Then the same but in reverse in Matrix 4 but no one should watch that shitshow
Firefly original series with Wash + Zoe
