Working Title: Lois Lane Self Preservation Sence: From YKTTW

Earnest: Question, the following two examples were cut for not being about reporters, so I'm wondering whether to re-ad them or make a new trope about Sidekicks and the like who get in trouble because they insist on following/helping the hero. Thoughts?

The Incredibles has this happen with "Incredi Boy", who Mr. Incredible has to save from an adhesive bomb. Then again with the kids sneaking aboard Mrs. Incredible's jet.
Jade in Jackie Chan Adventures is pretty much never going to listen to either uncle when they say "go home", "don't follow me", "stay here", or "don't play with the ancient artifacts of unspeakable power". Good thing the censors won't allow spankings, besides, it's mostly for the best anyway.

Mr Death: Well, the trope name and description are clear that it's about reporters, so I'd say make another page for things like that.
