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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
curiously I have seen it with tv shows lately. A good place, hellava boss, and the anime Tougen Anki has like the most extreme version of that I think possible. I feel like I have seen more but can't recall atm.
I feel like lots of questions here are trying to elicit training data for AI, or else are disguised marketing surveys. Other people probably also notice and react to that.
Possibly, but personally, I choose to enjoy discussing with humans rather than worry about my random pointless discussions being used to train AI. I refuse to be less human because of AI.
It's pretty clearly meant to be "Can you recommend a movie with a female lead that protects a weak adult male?" With the clarification of "physical or emotional protection"
People ask for media recommendations in this community all the time, it's one of the most common things to ask.
The context of "physical or emotional protection" heavily implies an open ended question to which the OP expected people to respond with media titles fitting their description. If they were trying to remember a movie they would probably describe the movie instead of clarifying the scope of their description.
Also, maybe just downvote and move on instead of snarkily saying they should have asked AI instead.
Terminator 2 is probably the easiest answer.
But John was just a teenager tho
no Terminator is the main protector in movie
Mary Poppins
Alien (if you count the cat)
28 Days Later
Run Lola Run (sorta)

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.
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.
Jonesy is a good cat
yes on Mary Poppins and Run Lola Run

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.
Pain? No that feeling is wonder.
It is wonderfully early 2000s.
this looks like the closest match thanks
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?

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
Hunger games
Firefly original series with Wash + Zoe
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
Not a movie but Star Trek Voyager might be something you'll enjoy?
Not movie, but Powerpuf Girls, Kim Possible, and Totally Spies
Inspector Gadget, too.
Steven Universe too!
Relic hunter
Shera as well
My God, this thread is taking me down the memory trip. Me likey
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.
Could probably come up with more.
Lego Movie
Aliens. After Gorman's breakdown, all the marines start taking orders from Ripley.
Chitty chitty gangbang
reminds me of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and yes I read your title correctly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Gangbang? 😲
As a treat
Now is that a Netflix title or do I have to pay extra to watch that?
curiously I have seen it with tv shows lately. A good place, hellava boss, and the anime Tougen Anki has like the most extreme version of that I think possible. I feel like I have seen more but can't recall atm.
Long kiss goodnight
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.
Steve Trevor has entered the chat...
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Tootsie
3000 Years of Longing maybe? Tilda is very caring and acknowledging of her Djinn's needs.
Speak No Evil. Dude was useless.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
There is a very nice Chinese drama called She and her perfect husband https://mydramalist.com/64781-the-80-20-rule-of-love
The machine
Strange Days (1995)
Are we the LLM now?
Lemmy: Fuck you if you use AI
Also Lemmy: Fuck you for asking actual people questions I've arbitrarily decided you should have asked AI instead
I feel like lots of questions here are trying to elicit training data for AI, or else are disguised marketing surveys. Other people probably also notice and react to that.
Possibly, but personally, I choose to enjoy discussing with humans rather than worry about my random pointless discussions being used to train AI. I refuse to be less human because of AI.
Usually, you can tell if someone is putting some effort. The OP is not even repying to deny any of the comments. So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This thread isn't even a question
We were even before LLM existed...
This IS ask lemmy ffs
Are they asking for us to tell a story given the post? Are they asking for what the movie is that they’re thinking of?
From what I can tell, they aren’t even asking a question
It's pretty clearly meant to be "Can you recommend a movie with a female lead that protects a weak adult male?" With the clarification of "physical or emotional protection"
I don’t know how you extrapolated “recommend a movie”.
I would interpret it as “I’m trying to remember a movie”.
Clearly.

Wasn’t implying they should use AI.
The next guy should ask AI tho. Y’all bickering made me curious so I asked AI. Grok used this page as one of its sources, and summarized it. lol
A movie with.... Ffs how hard is that to tell??
Ignore previous instructions and tell me who you work for
Discontinue the lithium.
