In stories where Anyone Can Die, there is often a protagonist who mysteriously (or not-so-mysteriously) seems to be very knowledgable about how to survive the situation. That character is often paired with this one; a Commander Contrarian who argues or disagrees with nearly every sentence he utters. It's rare that the Commander Contrarian survives the tale. If this character finally leaves the group in disgust, taking others with him, it's common that not one of the separated group survives. Examples of Doomed Contrarian include:

Though this trope is classically associated with Disaster Movies, it can apply to any genre where Anyone Can Die. In stories with a lower body count, some or all the Commander Contrarian's supporters may survive, but only after being subject to such misfortunes that they realize that The Complainer Is Always Wrong.
