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.
The machine
Terminator 2 is probably the easiest answer.
no Terminator is the main protector in movie
But John was just a teenager tho
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.
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.
Jonesy is a good cat
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.
Firefly original series with Wash + Zoe
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.
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
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.
Not a movie but Star Trek Voyager might be something you'll enjoy?
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
Not movie, but Powerpuf Girls, Kim Possible, and Totally Spies
Steven Universe too!
Totally Spies
My God, this thread is taking me down the memory trip. Me likey
Shera as well
Inspector Gadget, too.
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)_/¯
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.
We were even before LLM existed...
Could probably come up with more.
Lego Movie
Aliens. After Gorman's breakdown, all the marines start taking orders from Ripley.
Chitty chitty gangbang
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
