7. Meredith Vickers - Prometheus (2012)
Charlize Theron is simply great at playing a massive bitch. She is also proved a victim of poor writing with her totally pointless death in Prometheus. Meredith Vickers, the classic company girl only in it for herself (as seen in most Alien films), survives throughout most of the running time of Ridley Scott's misfiring Alien-esque prequel from 2012. Right at the very end as a giant spaceship rolls towards her, she miscalculates the way in which a giant hoop - shaped space ship would roll and ends up getting flattened like a pancake on the hostile planet. If she simply thought to move slightly left, or maybe right, she would have avoided the extremely NARROW hull which sloooowwwlllyyyy loomed upon her. Like much of Prometheus, this stands out as another example of some really poor writing mixed with rushed exposition. She could have survived and become a greater plot point in the proposed sequel. Rather than that, she is killed in the most moronic of ways that would have been avoided by anybody with a slither of common sense, something which the film sets her out to have in the two hours prior to her ridiclous demise.
