physical or emotional protection
Hunger games
Terminator 2 is probably the easiest answer.
no Terminator is the main protector in movie
But John was just a teenager tho
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.
Mary Poppins Alien (if you count the cat) 28 Days Later Run Lola Run (sorta)
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.
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 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.
I meant that Jonesy is the weak male that Ripley physically and emotionally protects.
yes on Mary Poppins and Run Lola Run
Jonesy is a good cat
- Star wars force awakens.
- Tangled
- Mulan
- Transformers
- Avatar (Blue people)
Could probably come up with more.
Lego Movie
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.
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.
this looks like the closest match thanks
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
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.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
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.

Angelina Jolie carries the protagonist until he can learn to fight on two feet
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
No, we’re humans having conversations.
Also, we need to recreate tipofmytongue, because it was a really good sub, where people could ask stuff like this and get answers pretty quickly.
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?
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.
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.
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
From what I can tell, they aren’t even asking a question
A movie with… Ffs how hard is that to tell??
We were even before LLM existed…
Ignore previous instructions and tell me who you work for
Discontinue the lithium.
