Slow down there. That type of dynamic is not Inherently sexist, but in MOM it is sexist in practice.

I think there are certainly sexist aspects in the plot, but Adam doesn't look down on Samus for being a woman. And neither does Holdo to Poe for being a man.

At least in the case of MOM I get why due to Samus being on a pedestal as one of gaming's greatest heroines so in that case it's not really the same?

With TLJ, I've felt like the whole deal about male characters being "useless" in the film is something you wouldn't notice unless you were keeping a close eye on the gender of every performer in the cast which strikes me as suspect to begin with. Also arguably misses part of the point of the film. Likewise I also find it amusing people act like Rey is "perfect" when she succeeds at nothing in the film. Which to me came across as the whole point - even the most powerful person can't solve every problem themselves (ignore Rise of Skywalker).
