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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
