2. Captain Dallas, Alien
Dallas was in a pursuit with an Android to bring a Xenomorph specimen back for Weyland-Yutani, so that they could study it and make it profitable. During the events, Ripley also points out to him the violation of quarantine procedures by bringing Kane aboard, but Dallas does not pay heed to her objection. Later, he also rejects the advice of putting Kane in cold storage. And when the Xenomorph is fully grown, and tragedy strikes, he is a total screwed-up to handle the situation. What we saw in Prometheus was the totally opposite of what we saw here, There, the Captain was extremely competent, with a firm head on his shoulders. There, it was the crew that was really stupid.
1. Zapp Brannigan, Futurama
His mantra is just to show an exemplary display of courage and fearlessness. Zapp Brannigan is clearly ‘cannon fodder’ school of tactic, and for every problem, his solution is to throw out his people to fight. He does not mind his ships getting wrecked, but the enemy’s death cannons should get clogged at any cost. If you are diehard Star Trek fan, then you would understand the analogy when I say that Brannigan was one of those Captains whose mess Kirk had to clean up
