  1. Rourke from Atlantis: The Lost Empire. To quote TV Tropes:

    Quote
    • Being part of the team which discovered friggin' Atlantis would already have made him rich and famous beyond his wildest dreams. Too bad Rourke wants more, even at the expense of quite literally everyone else, from his own team right down to the Atlanteans themselves.
    • Ironically, the team members that turn on him do end up fabulously rich. Turns out the Atlanteans had plenty of gold they didn't care much about. If he'd just considered if there was more than one way to profit off Atlantis, the entire third act could have been avoided.
    • Even if they didn't reach Atlantis, a commenter noted thatexternal_link.gif the discoveries made on the way there alone would be more than enough and turn humanity's understanding of the world along with the entire field of archaeology upside down to the extent that finding Atlantis itself is just frankly overkill. To list, they discovered biggest and most varied ship graveyard in history (Leviathan's lair) which is also the lair of a giant mechanical kaiju that makes WW1 fleets look like rafts (the Leviathan itself) before discovering a man-made underwater highway buried in an underground air pocket filled to the brim with never before seen life like the fireflies.
    • Needlessly betraying Helga is what ultimately causes his downfall; she uses her last moments to shoot down Rourke's blimp out of revenge. Helga was loyal and faithful to Rourke, suspecting nothing, and Rourke easily could have waited for a less dangerous opportunity to be rid of her if it was strictly necessary for him.

    I’d pick “inferior Zeldas” like Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks over Twilight Princess any time

    Not-unpopular reply - I like all three, and the only inferior ones are these:
