A sadly underappreciated show:
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
Easily the best terminator property after the first two. I mean thatβs 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: itβll break your heart. They had the story worked out. Was going to be 4 seasons. We got 2.
Hunger games
Lego Movie
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.
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.

Jonesy is a good cat
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
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.
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
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
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.

The Long Kiss Goodnight
Not a movie but Star Trek Voyager might be something you'll enjoy?
Aliens. After Gorman's breakdown, all the marines start taking orders from Ripley.
3000 Years of Longing maybe? Tilda is very caring and acknowledging of her Djinn's needs.
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.
