      Terminator 2 is probably the easiest answer.

            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?

                            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.

                                    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.

                                                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.

                                                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.

                                                                He kills her and the other mimics then the big boss. Ending the loop at the cost of her life.
