A subtrope of Cassandra Truth, the Ignored Expert is a scientist or expert who predicts a major disaster to happen, but is not believed by his contemporaries.
No matter how qualified he is and how urgent and relevant his expertise is to the problem at hand, his warnings will be treated like madness or lies. The Ignored Expert will be ignored by his peers, or reviled and ridiculed regardless of evidence, credibility or persuasiveness, and his warnings are often covered up by shady governments. If he's lucky, he'll manage to persuade a philanthropist to help, or make The Hero aware of the problem. In extreme cases, he will be fighting nearly alone to stop (or at least expose and delay) a nigh-unstoppable disaster. His situation isn't helped if he has a reputation as (or is) an Agent Mulder.
In natural disaster movies or Science Is Bad stories, expect the Ignored Expert to be the lone voice of sanity warning against a particular course of action that will, of course, be taken. That action could be entrusting the newborn AI with control over nuclear missiles, releasing The Virus in a field test, administering Super Serum to criminals, or the use of machines Powered by a Forsaken Child. His natural enemy will be the Suit with Vested Interests.
If the Ignored Expert himself created the phenomenon he is warning against, he's the Reluctant Mad Scientist. May or may not be a Conspiracy Theorist whose claims and warnings turn out to be right.
This trope was previously named after Superman's father, Jor-El, a Kryptonian scientist whose dire warnings that their home planet would die were ignored. Famously, he managed to save his son, Kal-El, by putting him on an escape pod and sending him to one of the most successful media franchises in history.
The Ignored Expert is very similar to The Cassandra, but he also has an impressive track record to back himself up. Of course, this doesn't help him one bit, and he can still be subject to Cassandra Did It. This can be especially egregious if they were specifically brought in as an Expert Consultant. If the "expert" is someone totally unrelated to a situation who manages to notice something all the experts working on it have missed, he is an Einstein Sue. An "expert" whose credentials or expertise aren't too clear is The Worm Guy.
Note that while this trope can be Truth in Television in certain cases, reality is always far more complex. Scientific discoveries need to be repeatedly proven in experiments, so there is a reluctance to immediately accepting new information as fact. The release of findings may also be subject to political pressure, and may thus be suppressed or heavily controlled for political or ideological reasons. Or just plain old Anti-Intellectualism.
Finally, it should be noted that, especially in the "soft" or social sciences, the experts may themselves heavily disagree on the right course of action. In these cases, one expert's conclusions and ideas may seem like complete lunacy to another expert.
Compare They Called Me Mad!, Only Sane Man, The Dissenter Is Always Right. Contrast Stupid Scientist.

Aquaman: Oceanologist Dr. Stephen Shin appears on the news a few times trying to convince people Atlantis is out there and behind the recent tidal waves of garbage. He's completely ignored and insulted by the TV pundits... which'd be understandable if it weren't for the fact Aquaman's a public figure.

Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) in 2012 is a subversion. He brings a written report of his findings about the imminent end of the world directly to White House Chief of Staff Anheuser. Anheuser initially dismisses him, until Helmsley insists; Anheuser takes one look at the report and immediately brings it to the President's attention.

The Black Arrow: When Nick Appleyard, an old bowman and war veteran, observes a flight of birds circling over the nearby wood in a messy pattern, he warns that hostile rogues might be skulking around. His partner Bennet Hatch berates him over both being concerned about some birds flying and considering someone would attack them in the Sir Daniel's fiefdom. No later than five minutes, an arrow fired from the wood kills Nick.

The Invaders (1967): David Vincent spends the series struggling in vain to warn people of the Alien Invasion taking place. It doesn't help that the evidence has a nasty habit of disappearing right in front of his eyes and the people he goes to for help have a nasty tendency to be alien agents. However, by the end of the series he does manage to convince a few humans who have also had alien encounters to help his cause.

Transformers: Stormbringer: The Decepticon scientist Thunderwing was concerned that the war was damaging Cybertron's environment to the extent the planet would eventually be rendered uninhabitable, and tried to reach out to every scientist he knew (and Swerve) to try and solve the problem. They rejected his claims on the grounds that he didn't have enough evidence. So he created a means by which Cybertronians would be able to survive the on-coming cataclysm, and tested it on himself. The result? An unstoppable insane behemoth that required the combined firepower of both armies to just slow down, and Cybertron suffering so much damage in the conflict that it was rendered uninhabitable. Whoops.

Bleach: Although Mayuri's knowledge of Quincies was deeply shaken by his encounter with Ishida, he's the closest thing to an expert on the Quincies and their powers that the Soul Reapers have. During the Thousand Year Blood War arc, Yamamoto even tries to invoke Cassandra Did It on Mayuri for allowing the current situation to happen. Mayuri quickly points out that he had specifically warned him that a Quincy attack was likely to happen, but Yamamoto dismissed him as paranoid and thus did nothing to prepare, which is exactly what left them vulnerable to Yhwach's invasion to begin with.

And as he is the resident Clock King that has every route and timetable memorized, he could've found a safer solution. Diesel ignores him, which leads to the two encountering a rock slide.

In Star Trek: Enterprise, Archer mentions an argument he once had with fellow Starfleet Captain Jeffries regarding the armaments of NX-class starships. Archer's position was that he didn't want to make peaceful contact with other species while flying around in a warship. After a year of fighting through the Delphic Expanse to save Earth from a Xindi attack, however, he decides that Jeffries was right about well-armed starships and makes sure that both Enterprise and her sister ship Columbia can fight anyone who attacks them.

One chapter of Eugenesis opens with a statement delivered to Optimus Prime from the First Church of Primus some time after Unicron's defeat in 1991 explaining that he was going to return some time around 2005 or 2006. According to the backstory, they were ignored. And then in 2006 Unicron returned and attacked Cybertron. (Optimus gets excused because he was dead.)

Honor Harrington: Assorted military analysts in the Solarian League try desperately to inform their superiors, political and military, that the League fleets are completely and hilariously outclassed by the fleets fielded by the navies involved in the Haven-Manticoran War. Those superiors unfailingly scoff at these notions and tend to have he people warning them demoted. Once the war stars, the experts find out to their horror that they underestimated the technology gap. And as for the people who ignored them... Three words. Break the Haughty.

Lie to Me essentially boils down to this per episode. They hire the team to find out if someone is lying, then dismiss everything they have to say. One episode opens with Cal joining a dating group, as he was hired to find out if the wife a wealthy industrialist was divorcing ever cheated on him, which would give lots of ammunition to his lawyers. Cal determines that she was tempted many times but never strayed and says so to the man and the lawyers. They are furious and claim that he's doing a bad job, only for him to turn around and call them out on not caring about the truth at all, only wanting an "expert" to give them evidence (whether real or not) that would allow the man to leave his wife with nothing. They storm out, threatening to sue him, but he isn't particularly worried, since they have no evidence that he did anything wrong.

The Simpsons: In "Trash of the Titans", Homer runs for Sanitation Commissioner against incumbent Ray Patterson. Patterson tries to tell Springfielders that Homer has no clue what being an elected official is all about, with all kinds of extravagant promises. Homer wins in a landslide, but true to Ray's predictions, Homer proves himself unqualified for the position, spending his year's budget in one month because he hadn't realized how expensive his campaign promises would actually be, recouping the money by having other cities take their trash to Springfield. This leaves Springfield so badly trashed that they have to move the town five miles away.

Supergirl's father, Zor-El, was hit with this in the Post-Crisis universe. He and his wife Alura built the shield dome which saved Argo City when Krypton exploded. Afterwards he pleaded with Argo City's Science Council to find a new world to settle in, reasoning that the shields protecting the city wouldn't last forever. They didn't listen, even though he is the man who designed the shields to start with, and his brother was the man who correctly predicted Krypton's destruction.

Anne Heche in Volcano, which at some points seems to be set in an alternate reality where the very existence of volcanoes is an obscure geological fact completely unfamiliar to the public.

The Outer Limits (1995): In "To Tell the Truth", Dr. Larry Chambers attempts to convince the ruling council of Janus Five that the system's sun is a pulsating star which is due to flash over in several days' time, a process that happens once every 1,000 years. He warns that the sun will emit deadly radiation and the colony will be destroyed. Chambers' claims are not taken seriously as, five years earlier, he had warned that the original location of the colony would be destroyed in a major volcanic eruption, which proved to be incorrect. The colony was moved to a new location at great cost in terms of time, money and manpower, leading many people to resent Chambers. He explains that he misinterpreted the data and what he thought was an impending eruption was in fact an early sign that the sun would flash over. It is also alleged that he is imagining an apocalyptic scenario since he is depressed over the death of his wife Elise three years earlier and does not want to live. When it looks as if people are starting to believe him, the council chairman Franklin Murdock and the colony's security chief Montgomery Bennett frame him by making it appear as if he is a shapeshifting alien who has taken Chambers' place. The ending reveals that Bennett actually is an alien, who manipulated the colony leader into getting the humans wiped out, so that the aliens can rebuild using human technology.

"Nightfall (1941)": The astronomers have been mocked for their doom-sayings, having announced a "dark body" that will eclipse Beta after the other five suns have set. One of the newspaper reporters who has been mocking them actually comes to get their side of the story during their announced eclipse, so that he can get the scoop on why they were wrong (and hedging his bets to get an even better story in case they were right). The expanded version (co-authored by Robert Silverberg) has cientists from other different fields corroborating the data; astronomers predict the actual event, archaeologists predict the mass destruction (it's happened previously), and psychologists predict the human reaction to it, and no one believes them. They're reviled, denounced, and eventually, 100% correct.

Chief Engineer Precia Testarossa in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie First. Even though she told the corporate executives of her company that the reactor she was developing was a new design and had a chance of a meltdown, they slashed the testing time of the reactor from one month down to ten days. They also had the safety protocols of the reactor done by their own people, who were more interested in getting the testing done quickly rather than properly. The Chief Engineer's fears were realized on the day of the reactor's live test run, and a meltdown occurred that killed several civilians in the process, including her daughter, Alicia.

In The Weaver Option Neferten opposed the war against the Old Ones, predicting the Necrontyr's defeat. She opposed making their deal with the C'tan and undergoing biotransference, believing she could repair their race's biological defects given time. She opposed the Great Sleep, concerned their race would physically and mentally fall victim to entropy. In each case she was ignored by Szarekh and in each case she was proven right, which is why she is now actively working to permanently break free of the Silent King's control.

In The Dresden Files, the coroner Butters declares that a corpse he examined is "humanoid, but not human". He promptly loses his job and becomes the laughingstock of the medical community. The trope is justified in that there are a lot of political and financial luminaries invested in keeping the supernatural secret.

He spends most of his scenes in the first book practically begging his superiors (who have an old and somewhat petty grudge against him) not just to believe his reports, but to read them, and eventually has to launch an Anti-Mutiny just to get something done before it's too late.

When a lunar independence movement arises, he knows how to crush the populace and destroy it. But his bosses on Earth, out of a combination of arrogance, complacency and cheapness, refuse to allocate him enough resources or listen to his suggestions on operating within lunar culture. Instead they assume that sending some elite soldiers to bolster the police will be enough. Result: Juan can't hunt down the dissidents, who eventually use psychological warfare to provoke said soldiers into committing an atrocity. This sparks mass anti-Earth riots which allow the dissidents to rise up, defeat Juan's forces, and eventually secure lunar independance. As they say on Luna, big huhu.

Discworld: In Going Postal, Clacks engineer Mr. Pony keeps insisting that the Grand Trunk's semaphore towers need to undergo proper maintenance or the whole business will go under. Unfortunately, his superiors are only concerned with immediate profits, and think that shutting down the towers for an extended period of time is madness, since it will lose money (plus, there's the matter of them buying the Trunk on embezzled funds). When he presents hard facts and explains the exact minimum amount of money he'd need to at least keep the service running a while longer, his boss (Big Bad Reacher Gilt) agrees to give him a quarter of it, and makes a grand show of it as though he's being generous. In this case Gilt does in fact believe the engineer, but just doesn't care, because he knows that even if the Clacks did collapse, he would still be able to make a massive profit selling the business to someone else, regardless of whether it was a total shambles. In fact the Board of Directors approved the full amount; Gilt pocketed the rest. Pony is able to avoid the eventual fallout (and aid the city's case against Gilt and the Board) thanks to a scrupulously maintained paper trail.

Hunter: The Parenting: This is Kevin the Tremere's backstory: he was an accountant, and apparently a pretty good one, who was Embraced by the Tremere because the local Regent needed someone to help them navigate modern day financial systems. Unfortunately, he fell out of favor after pointing out several unpleasant facts: that not only does mind controlling humans into giving you all their money leaves them too destitute to be useful ("then they starve to death"), but that it also leaves a glaring paper trail for anyone who bothers to look. Rather than taking his advice, they ostracized him, and replaced him with someone presumably more willing to be a Yes-Man.

Earthquake: Seismologist Walter Russell predicts the earthquake with perfect accuracy, but because he's only a graduate student and his superiors are squeamish about false alarms, they take a while to act on his advice. They ultimately do act on Russell's concerns after his predictions about the earlier, smaller quakes prove accurate and the death of the seismology institute's director makes the assistant directors grasp the tragedy of what is happening.

Supergirl (2015):
Jor-El himself, although we don't get much focus on him. He warned that tapping Krypton's core for energy would soon cause it to explode, but he was dismissed as a crackpot.
Kara's parents (Jor-El's brother Zor-El and Zor's wife Alura) believed Jor-El enough to send Kara on a ship after Kal-El, though there are some signs that they were ignoring Jor-El until the last moment as well. When Season 6 reveals Zor-El was still alive in the Phantom Zone, he initially stays on Earth after his liberation to try and solve Earth's own crisis out of guilt for ignoring the various issues that plagued Krypton in its final days.
General Astra (Alura's sister and Kara's aunt) believed Jor-El enough that she started attacking government buildings, trying to stop the core project. She always made sure the buildings were empty, but there was a guard in one of them, whom her husband Non killed. Alura felt that this crossed the line, and had Astra and all her supporters locked away in the Phantom Zone.
The Children of Juru (a cabal of Kryptonian witches) also believed Jor-El and secretly sent three genetically-engineered infants to Earth, who would eventually grow up to become Worldkillers: Reign, Pestilence, and Purity. Unlike Kara, their Kryptonian abilities would be suppressed until adulthood, at which point their hidden personalities and abilities would surface.

Subverted by Dr. Kabuto from Mazinger Z. Despite he was a renowned scientist and a witness, he did not try to warn the world of what had happened in Bardos Island (to wit: one of his colleagues had murdered the archaeological expedition minus Kabuto after finding an army of ancient Humongous Mecha buried in the underground mazes of the island) and what Dr. Hell was planning (to wit: Take Over the World), opting for shutting himself away to build his super-weapon. He could have reasonably thought that nobody would believe his story. (Would you?)

The Gods Themselves has three Jor-Els attempting to warn everyone of a danger. One is an alien and the two others are humans, all trying to warn Earth to stop using an electron transfer device that gives everyone infinite energy. The aliens don't care about the danger, since it's only Earth that will be destroyed, and harvesting the explosion for energy is even more convenient. The humans in turn can't convince anyone because infinite free energy, meaning nobody even wants to look at their research. The name of the novel (as well as those of the three parts) comes from the quote, "Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."

JLA (1997): Issue #42 features a city of sentient bacteria living in the folds of a young boy's brain. The bacteria mine the brain tissue to harness neural electricity for energy which is slowly killing him. One scientist is aware that "the world" is alive and they are killing it, but no-one will listen. Eventually doctors are forced to cut out the city with a laser, killing them all, but before it does the scientist and his wife load their son into a vessel and launch it towards the liver, where "the iron-rich blood will give him powers and abilities undreamt of by our race". The last panel of the comic is the rocket lying on the surface of the liver, with two bacteria moving towards it.

In Book 4, A Feast for Crows, Grand Maester Pycelle (having graduated from being House Lannister's Professional Butt-Kisser to the Only Sane Man at court amongst the toadies and lickspittles advising Queen Regent Cersei) keeps giving Cersei perfectly reasoned and valid arguments, along with numerous historical precedents as to why some of her planned decisions are really bad ideas ( such as deferring on repayments to the Iron Bank of Braavos, an organisation notorious for getting its money back by any means necessary, either by tanking its debtors' economies or financing their enemies, or allowing the Faith of the Seven to reform its own private army for her own petty schemes, ignoring that said fanatics have a long history of clashing with the crown). Cersei being Cersei, her reply to Pycelle's objections is essentially "Shut up and do as I tell you, or face the consequences".

And before the ACE example, there was Bian Zoldark of the Super Robot Wars franchise. In Super Robot Wars 2, Super Robot Wars Alpha and Super Robot Wars: Original Generation, Bian warned the Earth Federation of an alien invasion approaching Earth; naturally for this trope, he's right (in the original timeline it's the Inspectors, while in Alpha and OG it's the Aerogaters). In the original timeline and OG the Federation rejects his proposals, which leads to him forming his own military force, the Divine Crusaders (even worse, in 2 it's composed of villain groups like the Principality of Zeon, Dinosaur Empire, and Dr. Hell's Mechanical Monsters. However, the trope is subverted in the Alpha timeline, where the Federation actually listens to Zoldark; he still forms the DC, but they're allies of the Federation rather than enemies.

Ben ignores her due to the creators of the virus having made a deadline about when they will use the virus again (even though Cally points out that terrorists have been known to break deals and these particular terrorists have a personal beef with them), but, sure enough, the virus takes over the train and nearly kills them.

Cutter was right that Borden's Transported Man trick uses a body double but Angier dismisses it as too simple.
Sarah is able to tell when Borden loves her and when he doesn't. If Olivia or others had listened to Sarah, they would have also figured out that Borden is in fact two people.

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "One Little Ship" plays this re: the Jem'Hadar who capture the Defiant. A good number of them are part of a new breed that have been bred in the Alpha Quadrant and are considered by their creators to be superior to their older counterparts from the Gamma Quadrant. The Jem'Hadar First is one of these new AQ Jem'Hadar, while the Second is a GQ Old Soldier who used to be the First until his demotion. Throughout the episode, the Second tries to use his experience to advise the First — who repeatedly tells him to shut up, believing that an Alpha doesn't need the advice of a Gamma. Sisko picks up on this and plays them against each other while he and his officers stage a counterstrike.

Resident Evil: Degeneration: Leon S. Kennedy is brought in as a consultant to assist with a rescue operation at the Harvardville Airport outbreak. Despite his surviving several B.O.W.-related catastrophes by this point and offering plenty of evidence that he knows exactly what the hell he's talking about, the two S.W.A.T. officers accompanying him into the airport repeatedly ignore his advice for dealing with zombies, even after each of them nearly dies as a result. One of them wises up just in time to survive to mission, but the other one... well, he doesn't.

The Purge: In season 2, college Professor Drew Adams and reporter Sydney Riviera do studies and arguments about how the Purge is making people more likely to be violent year-round rather than less violent (something which is a major theme of the season, which follows the emergence of a Serial Killer). The government either doesn't believe them or actively tries to cover it up, with Adams being murdered and the radio show Riviera appears on trying to slant the arguments against her.

In Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Dr. Sid's claims that the Phantoms are actually Exactly What It Says on the Tin are met with this trope. This is all the more unreasonable when one reflects that Dr. Sid is the inventor of not only the only weapons that have had any effect at all upon the Phantoms, but is also the inventor of the energy shields that keep Earth's remaining cities intact.

Jack Hall and his son, Sam, in The Day After Tomorrow. First the Vice President ignores Jack's warnings about climate change.

It's actually discussed and justified at one moment in Jurassic Park III, when Paul Kirby wants to listen to Alan Grant but Amanda Kirby doesn't. Paul asks "what's the point of hiring a dinosaur expert if we're not going to listen to him", which seems fair, until Amanda correctly points out that Alan isn't looking for their son but for the coastline. It doesn't go any further than this, however, as the events that unfold force them to stick together anyways.

In Mass Effect, one of the few surviving scientists in the lower levels of the Peak 15 research station is dismissed as mad by every other person in the place (except for Shepard and company) for believing that the project to recreate the the Rachni, who proceeded to go mad and devour everyone in the hot labs, was a terrible mistake, and wanting to inform the rescue effort about it. "Crazy? I'm sane. God am I sane."
Manuel, a scientist encountered on Eden Prime. He's rambling and about to be sedated when Shepard encounters him, with his dialogue hinting that he may have looked into the Prothean Beacon himself and been driven insane as a result, something Liara later speculates could happen to those without the iron-will that Shepard and Saren have. As nonsensical as his hysterical babbling is without the context of the beacon's message, by the end of the game almost every single thing he says has turned out to be correct.
In the first game, a scientist is working on scanning the Citadel's keepers to learn more about them. By the second game, he's discovered the basic truths about them and their connection to the Reapers, but no one will listen to him.
Shepard has conversed with a Reaper, and heard the final testimony of the Protheans, and yet, as soon as s/he's gone, the Alliance and the Council try to sweep it under the rug. The only ones who believe him/her are Anderson, Hackett and The Illusive Man. Made more ridiculous that the asari are capable of mind melding, so really, the asari councillor could simply read Shepard's mind to verify the truth about the Reapers and everything that Shepard has experienced. It's explained in the final DLC for the third game that they actually did believe Shepard the whole time but were officially denying it to prevent panic.
Speaking of the asari, Liara's "father" Aethyta was a matriarch on their homeworld, who are normally treated as respected advisors. She warned the rest of their species that We Have Become Complacent and that they wouldn't survive another crisis like Sovereign, but they laughed her off the planet. Come Mass Effect 3 and everything she said comes to pass as Thessia is devastated by the Reaper invasion, with their natural affinity for biotics the only thing keeping them from being totally overrun.
Garrus suffers from the same in 3, mentioning that he tried warning the Turian Hierarchy about the incoming Reapers. They eventually gave him a modest task-force to shut him up. Andromeda shows his father at least believed Garrus, and passed the warning on to the Andromeda Initiative, allowing them to get out just before the Reapers actually hit.

MonsterVerse:
Godzilla (2014): Reconstructed. Graham and Serizawa's advice about letting Godzilla deal with the MUTOs is somewhat speculative on their part and is ignored on somewhat understandable grounds. Played Straight in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), where Monarch advocate seeking ways to coexist with the Titans due to their essential role in Earth's ecology and humanity's inability to kill them all, but the government and military only care about trying to kill all the Titans to make humanity's existence (in their eyes) easier. Ultimately, the military going through with attempting to kill the Titans causes things to go from bad to so much worse.
Kong: Skull Island: Packard could have avoided a lot of casualties if he'd thought to ask for a proper briefing on the dangers of the island once he met a man who'd been living there for 28 years.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): Emma Russell becomes a villainous one to her captor (actually her partner-in-crime) Alan Jonah when she realizes and warns him that King Ghidorah is forcing the other Titans to ravage their own planet instead of restoring it, only for Jonah to brush it off with Insane Troll Logic courtesy of being a Straw Nihilist.
Godzilla vs. Kong: Ren Serizawa is a villainous case. He argues that using the Hollow Earth energy-formula for Mechagodzilla without testing it is a bad idea, but his boss Walter Simmons dismisses him. He's very right, as the moment the formula is incorporated into the Mecha, Ghidorah's consciousness remnants in the skull being used as the Mecha's brain hijack the machine and take control.
Mark Russell ends up being an Ignored Expert in the novelization when he realizes before Godzilla's first attack in Florida that he's likely going to make landfall at a population center, but those who he tries to warn don't raise the alarm because of Godzilla's positive reputation as a protector.

The final season of Lexx has Dr. Ernst Longbore, a Genius Cripple who used to belong to a group of scientists working on a particle accelerator capable of determining the mass of the Higgs boson particle. He became an Ignored Expert after realizing that determining the particle's mass would trigger a massive chain reaction that would implode the planet into a dense chunk of matter the size of a pea (apparently, this is the fate of every civilization that tries to determine the Higgs boson's mass). Having lost his career and academic standing, he's spent his remaining time with a small cult of college-aged followers working on a way to escape Earth. Gets subverted when after securing a means to escape for himself and a rocket full of hotties with which to repopulate the species, he decides to trigger said chain reaction himself as a middle finger to the rest of the planet.

Superman:
Superman's father, Jor-El, was at one point the Trope Namer, having correctly predicted the destruction of Krypton, but his warnings were not heeded, as demonstrated in the page image.
Supergirl's father, Zor-El, was hit with this in the Post-Crisis universe. He and his wife Alura built the shield dome which saved Argo City when Krypton exploded. Afterwards he pleaded with Argo City's Science Council to find a new world to settle in, reasoning that the shields protecting the city wouldn't last forever. They didn't listen, even though he is the man who designed the shields to start with, and his brother was the man who correctly predicted Krypton's destruction.
In Pre-Crisis story The Untold Story of Argo City, Jor-El warned his brother about Krypton's future (or lack thereof), and Zor-El replied he was getting unnecessarily worried.
World of Krypton presents a rare aversion in the Superman mythos. Jor-El lays out his findings regarding Krypton's instability and is appointed as the head of the Science Council.
In Last Son, General Zod's backstory was rewritten to include involvement in Jor-El's story. Zod supported Jor-El's claims, but no-one would listen to him either. His motivation for trying to take over Krypton was to supplant the Science Council and force everyone to listen.
The Krypton Chronicles:
Sul-El, an astronomer who developed the first Kryptonian telescope, tried to warn the governor of Kandor that he had spotted an -possibly hostile- alien fleet approaching Krypton. He was mocked and despised by everyone until the Vrangs landed and began shooting people off indiscriminately.
The naturalist Tio-El understands that the winged beasts are Not Evil, Just Misunderstood and have the intelligence and good nature to survive the upcoming deluge. No one listens to him, not even his prophetic brother who foresaw the flood in the first place, until the creatures directly act to rescue them from the flood.
Kil-Gor is an inventor who finds a way to measure the tides and maximize the seaweed harvests that his tribe of nomads needs to survive and prosper. Everyone besides his future son-in-law Bur-El sees Kil-Gor as a tinkerer with ideas above his station, and they only accept the value of his ideas after Bur-El risks his life to prove Kil-Gor's theories.
The Hunt for Reactron: Thara Ak-Var, who used to be Alura's chief of security, states several times that dragging villain Reactron to Kandor at Alura's behest is a bad idea, and Alura should be keeping one eye on General Zod instead. Kara takes Reactron to Kandor anyway, and Alura ignores Thara's warnings, which leads to massive casualties when Zod puts his takeover plans in motion and Luthor turns Reactron into a time bomb.
In Masters of the Universe crossover "Fate Is The Killer", Prince Adam tries to respectfully dissuade Teela and the royal guard from engaging Zodac, since their weapons will be useless, but Teela "respectfully" suggests him to shut up and go away.
This is also the backstory of Superman villain Brainiac during the New 52; he was the greatest scientist of Yod-Colu, but his discovery of an impending threat to the planet was laughed at. He was even labeled insane and sent into exile. It wasn't long before he returned, used his technologies to compile a record of the planet's culture and history, and killed most of the population.

The Flash Sentry Chronicles:
When the girls decide to deliver a care package to Rainbow at the Wonderbolts Academy to cheer up Pinkie Pie, Flash is the only one who objects to the idea, stating that he has learned from Soarin what they do at the academy when they are recruiting cadets and they cannot just show up unannounced. He states they could all potentially get in trouble if they do, including him potentially losing his apprenticeship. Twilight acknowledges he has a point, but ultimately decides to ignore him and forces him to cooperate with the group.
They later do this again when Flash, Iron, and Lightning all warn them that finding out where A.K. Yearling lives so they can help her finish her book quicker is a bad idea and is how restraining orders are filed, plus it would be bad if Twilight, the newest princess, looked like a stalker. They once again ignore them and force Flash to come with them.

All their advice is ignored.

Case Closed: Justified example. Shinichi Kudo was once a famous detective, but after he was shrunk down to the body of a 6-year-old, the police rarely, if ever, listen to him whenever he finds an important clue. So, he's often forced to either act like a dumb kid who "accidentally" reveals important information, or he tranquilizes and impersonates an adult (usually Kogoro) with his gadgets.

Every movie has at least one guy who knows more about dinosaurs than everyone else and has to watch his warnings go unheeded, from Alan Grant to Owen Grady. It's especially bad for Ian Malcolm in the second movie and Grant in the third one; having survived the events of the first movie, they both know first-hand how insanely dangerous an island full of dinosaurs is and yet both deal with people who are far too cavalier for their own good.

The Elder Scrolls
In the backstory, the Psijic Order (a powerful Magical Society and the oldest monastic order in Tamriel with some ability to predict the future which has, depending on the political climate of the time, advised the leaders of Tamriel) advised Emperor Uriel Septim V against his planned invasion of Akavir in the mid-3rd Era. Uriel V did not heed their warnings and invaded anyway, suffering from all manner of misfortune before eventually having his forces decimated and becoming a casualty himself. Later Septim emperors became distrustful of the Psijics, eventually banning their ambassadors from the Imperial City.
The now-extinct Ayleids (Wild Elves) once ruled a mighty empire out of Cyrodiil, said to be the very first empire in Tamriel. At least some of their success is credited to worshiping the Daedra, including some of the traditionally "bad" Daedra. This led their mighty empire down some very dark paths, including the enslavement and vile torture of the Nedes, human ancestors to many of the modern races of Men. The "moth eyes", Moth Priests who study the Elder Scrolls, warned them that their hubris would "bear bitter fruit." The Ayleids ignored this, and their hubris would indeed lead to their downfall when their Nedic slaves rose up and overthrew their Ayleid masters, eventually driving them to extinction.

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Night's Watch have seen more than enough to convince them that the Others are coming and mean to cross the Wall. Good luck trying to get King's Landing to listen, even after repeated attempts... Only Stannis takes them seriously.
In Book 4, A Feast for Crows, Grand Maester Pycelle (having graduated from being House Lannister's Professional Butt-Kisser to the Only Sane Man at court amongst the toadies and lickspittles advising Queen Regent Cersei) keeps giving Cersei perfectly reasoned and valid arguments, along with numerous historical precedents as to why some of her planned decisions are really bad ideas ( such as deferring on repayments to the Iron Bank of Braavos, an organisation notorious for getting its money back by any means necessary, either by tanking its debtors' economies or financing their enemies, or allowing the Faith of the Seven to reform its own private army for her own petty schemes, ignoring that said fanatics have a long history of clashing with the crown). Cersei being Cersei, her reply to Pycelle's objections is essentially "Shut up and do as I tell you, or face the consequences".

Godzilla (1954): Guess how Tokyo ended up when Dr. Yamane told them to never use lights on Godzilla? In Godzilla Raids Again, the military were wise enough to listen to him.
Godzilla (1998): Zig-zagged. Nick discovers through blood testing that Godzilla is pregnant and has arrived in Manhattan to reproduce. He's believed up until his confidential data is leaked (by his girlfriend, Audrey), and then his idea is discredited... for... some... reason. Elsie does convince Colonel Hicks to sweep the city just in case, but by then it's too late: the eggs are real and they're already hatching. If it weren't for Nick and the DGSE already having discovered the nest, this would have turned into an apocalyptically stupid blunder.
Shin Godzilla: One running theme is the danger of this trope. Goro Maki's initial findings were both laughed out of Japan and covered up in the United States. Both of these would lead to the world being unprepared for Gojira, but these same issues kept coming into play, because these tropes are still relevant in workplace culture, despite Yaguchi staffing his team specifically to counter this trope. When Ogashira hypothesizes that Gojira is fueled by nuclear fission, Yasuda laughs and dismisses her idea as preposterous. When she quietly shows Yaguchi proof of her theory, which was also supported by on-site nuclear experts, Yasuda is in the background having a loud Freak Out as he comes to the same realization, before presenting it to his coworker. He then brings "his" finding to Yaguchi, who says to all of them that Ogashira was right. Yasuda at least gives her an apology. When the suggestion is made to study tissue samples, the team is immediately told that the Americans have already confiscated them.
See below for MonsterVerse examples.

Toy Story 4: Woody tells the other toys that Forky, Bonnie's newest creation, has become very important to her, and they need to keep an eye on the spork since he's keen on throwing himself in the trash all the time. As a long-lived toy who's been the favorite of Andy, Woody is well-versed in knowing what kids need, and the others know how loyal he is to his kid. They ignore his warnings and dismiss his overprotectiveness as trying to make himself useful when Bonnie stops playing with him. When Forky gets lost and Bonnie gets upset over it, they all realize too late that he was right.

In Man of Steel, a variation occurs on the Superman myth pertaining to Jor-El. Krypton's destruction was the Kryptonians' own doing as they attempted to tap the planet core for power when all other sources were exhausted. Jor-El warned that it was a colossally stupid idea, and was disregarded, and he warned again that the planet's doom could be mere weeks away some time after it was implemented, and only General Zod believed him. This also comes into play with his belief that the predestination paradigm in Krypton's population control and the resultant artificial birth system was a fatal mistake in that it leads to a kind of Creative Sterility; he and his like-minded colleague, Lara Lor-Van, decided to conceive and birth the first natural-born Kryptonian in centuries: Kal-El.

No one believes them, ridiculing them for not fighting Sphinx. Sargent Hatred, The Mole for the Guild has Hunter relocated to Guam, and Brock relocated to "Rusty's blanket", a task for rookies. Given that in the present the Guild is a Weird Trade Union known to most super-scientists and wizards, something must have happened between then and now.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power:
Durin completely ignores his own father when he is told that mining after mithril to help the Elves might come at the cost at their on kingdom. Guess who is awaken in the depths of Moria.
Galadriel warns Gil-galad and Elrond that she had found clues in the far North that Sauron is out there somewhere trying to regain his power. She gets sent to Valinor and completely ignored out of fear that searching for Sauron might just invite him at their door. Both sides are right on this one. Galadriel is right to search for Sauron, as he did try to gain the power of Seen and the Unseen World in order to rule over Arda after Morgoth's destruction, while his forces multiplied in secret for centuries. On the other hand, Galadriel does bring Sauron right in her own home without even knowing.

The Rose of Versailles: Maria Theresa's last gift to her daughter Marie Antoinette before sending her to marry the future King of France is a list on how to act as princess and later Queen of France, that includes to always listen the Count De Mercy (that she sent to Versailles specifically to act as an advisor for anything the list didn't cover). Sadly, Marie Antoinette is quickly swayed away from it by Versailles' opulence, and by the time she comes back to her senses she has already set in motion the events that would lead to The French Revolution... With many of the errors being specifically mentioned in the list as things to not do.

Asha tries to dissuade her, pointing out that bleaching virgin Asian hair as dark as Nora's is "always unpredictable and often unfortunate" and that Nora is not in the best headspace for such decision. This only makes Nora more insistent. Just like Asha warned, Nora's hair turns out a reddish orange with waves that is similar to Merida's, as Asha points out. Nora is enraged, claiming she looks like a Cheeto.

The Krypton Chronicles:
Sul-El, an astronomer who developed the first Kryptonian telescope, tried to warn the governor of Kandor that he had spotted an -possibly hostile- alien fleet approaching Krypton. He was mocked and despised by everyone until the Vrangs landed and began shooting people off indiscriminately.
The naturalist Tio-El understands that the winged beasts are Not Evil, Just Misunderstood and have the intelligence and good nature to survive the upcoming deluge. No one listens to him, not even his prophetic brother who foresaw the flood in the first place, until the creatures directly act to rescue them from the flood.
Kil-Gor is an inventor who finds a way to measure the tides and maximize the seaweed harvests that his tribe of nomads needs to survive and prosper. Everyone besides his future son-in-law Bur-El sees Kil-Gor as a tinkerer with ideas above his station, and they only accept the value of his ideas after Bur-El risks his life to prove Kil-Gor's theories.

Dr. Dalton in Dante's Peak, although the movie does subvert how the trope is usually played — Dr. Dalton doesn't have enough conclusive evidence, and the economy of the town could be ruined if he was wrong. The second Dr. Dalton finds concrete proof, it's immediately taken seriously; the town was in the middle of a town meeting discussing the evacuation plan when the volcano started erupting.

Parodied by Dib in Invader Zim. He is perhaps the only person who believes Earth is in danger of alien invasion and is worried and he constantly speaks out about it and tries to expose Zim as an alien and a threat. Living in a Crapsack World means no one listens or cares, and he's continuously mocked and abused for his efforts to the point of Black Comedy. While his younger sister Gaz grudgingly admits Zim is an alien, she points out Zim is very lousy at trying to conquer it. Plus, his race has no real interest in conquering Earth; they just exiled him there and lied about it to Zim. However, some of Zim's plans did fail because of Dib's interference. Perhaps Dib simply needs to be calmer about it?

Dawn of the Dead (1978): Both played straight and subverted by two separate scientists.
Dr. Foster from the opening scene practically embodies this, being a scientist who describes what the zombies are and how to kill them precisely. Three weeks into the apocalypse, a visibly frazzled Foster is being interviewed and still seems to be having trouble convincing many people not only about the need to destroy all dead bodies before they can reanimate, but even about the fact that there is an actual zombie infestation and that the police and military can't contain it.
Dr. Rausch, a second scientist seen on TV later on, acts like he's one of these (ranting furiously at anyone who disagrees with him) but his solutions are genuinely frightening and sound difficult to execute regardless. Specifically, he wants to nuke areas even though people may still be alive in them and the nukes would be unlikely to destroy all of the zombies and also irradiate them, and he proposes feeding the bodies of dead humans to the zombies without any description of how to get out and leave the bodies, or how to get that many of them.

Godzilla vs. Kong: Ren Serizawa is a villainous case. He argues that using the Hollow Earth energy-formula for Mechagodzilla without testing it is a bad idea, but his boss Walter Simmons dismisses him. He's very right, as the moment the formula is incorporated into the Mecha, Ghidorah's consciousness remnants in the skull being used as the Mecha's brain hijack the machine and take control.
Mark Russell ends up being an Ignored Expert in the novelization when he realizes before Godzilla's first attack in Florida that he's likely going to make landfall at a population center, but those who he tries to warn don't raise the alarm because of Godzilla's positive reputation as a protector.

In Chernobyl, Ulana Khomyuk (a Composite Character, based on a group of scientists) detects increased radiation in her lab in Minsk, which is 343 km (213 miles) from Chernobyl. She determines that something went horribly wrong in Chernobyl and tries to warn Soviet officials, only for them to brush off her concerns as alarmist. She tries to use her science credentials on a minor local official, only for him to point out that he's higher on the pecking order, despite being a factory worker prior to his current position. She decides to go further up the chain. Also almost happens to Valery Legasov when he first proposes that something is seriously wrong at Chernobyl just based on the description of a rock one of the first responders handled. He is insistent enough that Gorbachev relents and sends him to the scene along with Boris Scherbina. This turns out to be the right move, as Legasov is quite possibly the best man for the job, and Scherbina, as Legasov later points out, is a good man with enough political knowledge to get things done.

Shin Godzilla: One running theme is the danger of this trope. Goro Maki's initial findings were both laughed out of Japan and covered up in the United States. Both of these would lead to the world being unprepared for Gojira, but these same issues kept coming into play, because these tropes are still relevant in workplace culture, despite Yaguchi staffing his team specifically to counter this trope. When Ogashira hypothesizes that Gojira is fueled by nuclear fission, Yasuda laughs and dismisses her idea as preposterous. When she quietly shows Yaguchi proof of her theory, which was also supported by on-site nuclear experts, Yasuda is in the background having a loud Freak Out as he comes to the same realization, before presenting it to his coworker. He then brings "his" finding to Yaguchi, who says to all of them that Ogashira was right. Yasuda at least gives her an apology. When the suggestion is made to study tissue samples, the team is immediately told that the Americans have already confiscated them.

Jurassic Park:
Every movie has at least one guy who knows more about dinosaurs than everyone else and has to watch his warnings go unheeded, from Alan Grant to Owen Grady. It's especially bad for Ian Malcolm in the second movie and Grant in the third one; having survived the events of the first movie, they both know first-hand how insanely dangerous an island full of dinosaurs is and yet both deal with people who are far too cavalier for their own good.
It's actually discussed and justified at one moment in Jurassic Park III, when Paul Kirby wants to listen to Alan Grant but Amanda Kirby doesn't. Paul asks "what's the point of hiring a dinosaur expert if we're not going to listen to him", which seems fair, until Amanda correctly points out that Alan isn't looking for their son but for the coastline. It doesn't go any further than this, however, as the events that unfold force them to stick together anyways.

There's an example of it played straight in "Dalek". The Ninth Doctor tries to warn everybody of just how dangerous the Dalek is, but nobody believes him until all of the soldiers and most of the scientists in the silo have been killed by it.
Still, it's subverted in "Army of Ghosts", where he tells the head of the Torchwood Institute to stop punching holes in reality. She brushes him off as being too alien-supremacist... then, when the Doctor sits back to watch, relents and admits that she should listen to the guy who is not only named in her organization's charter, but has a very long pedigree that she's very well aware of about being right on these matters...

This is the plot of at least half of the episodes of Sealab 2021, as genuinely brilliant scientist Dr. Quinn is invariably Surrounded by Idiots. Refusal to pay attention to Quinn's advice (or increasingly hysterical avowals of how unbelievably stupid everyone else is being) usually gets the undersea station blown up, though this is the kind of comedy series where there's next to no continuity and everyone can be dead at the end of one episode and back in the next.

In Jurassic Park, Hammond invites a group of various experts to his park before it opens to advise him, and all of them become this, as do his division managers (although some of them don't take responsibility for their own mistakes). Most vocal are Malcolm, who insists that trying to replicate an ecosystem that disappeared millions of years ago is a fool's errand, and Muldoon, who says that the Velociraptors are too intelligent to be held and must be killed before they escape. Both turn out to be right.

Child of the Storm has the traditional example of Jor-El, though with a slightly better reason than most - Krypton was destroyed by the Dheronians, (Kryptonian exiles and servants of Thanos, who gave them a space-fleet in exchange for destroying Krypton). While Jor-El managed to pierce their cloaking technology for long enough to get a good look at them, by the time he presented his findings to the Science Council, they'd adjusted their tech so it looked like he'd gone mad. And unfortunately, while he was believed by some, those 'some' were Zod and his forces, who tried to conquer Krypton and its sister-world Argo to make people listen, and the Cult of the Eradicator, an apocalypse cult that actively tried to ensure Krypton's destruction and saw Jor-El as their prophet, 'the Herald of the Eradicator', resulting in a brutal three-way civil war.

The Hunt for Reactron: Thara Ak-Var, who used to be Alura's chief of security, states several times that dragging villain Reactron to Kandor at Alura's behest is a bad idea, and Alura should be keeping one eye on General Zod instead. Kara takes Reactron to Kandor anyway, and Alura ignores Thara's warnings, which leads to massive casualties when Zod puts his takeover plans in motion and Luthor turns Reactron into a time bomb.

Central Park:
In "Central Dark", Despite Helen being a native of Weehawken, New Jersey, Bitsy ignores her advice on what direction they should take. This bites her in the butt when her competitors were able to get ahead of her when she tries to head towards the waterfront by following the sign instead of taking Helen's shortcut.
In "Mother's Daze", Helen tells Lionel, the hotel bartender, to make Bitsy's drinks at the scheduled time despite Bitsy firing the service bartenders and don't talk to Bitsy about it until she gets back from her day off because she knows how to handle Bitsy. When Lionel is unable to make Bitsy's drink due to having to deal with the other customers and Bitsy goes to him for her drinks, he tells Bitsy to hire back the service bartenders or he'll quit and it goes as well as you expect. After Helen returns from her day off early, she gets Lionel to come back to the Brandenham by getting Bitsy to hire back the service bartenders and giving him a "Sorry, I was wrong" bonus.

A very common occurrence in Legend of the Galactic Heroes on both the Empire and Alliance, especially at the start of the series. One example is Yang, who always proposes the right course of action but gets completely shunned out by his superiors, believing their rank and experience are better than his, only to get their forces annihilated continuously. On the other side, there is Admiral Fahrenheit and Merkatz, who are dismissed as cowards during the Imperial Civil War when they suggest the right course of action as military professionals. Sometimes, there are those who would listen to experts but keep it to themselves for personal gain. (I.e., Truncht learns about the disaster that would befall if the Alliance tried to invade the Empire, but not only lets it happen to win the next election but also sells out said Alliance to the Empire later.) Eventually, the trope gets mitigated by Reinhard while Alliance never moves past this mindset.

Essentially every reality show where someone hires an expert to help them fix their business (such as Bar Rescue, Kitchen Nightmares, etc). Despite begging for their help to get them there, the owners will argue over every single change the expert suggests.

In Pathologic, Daniil, a bachelor of medicine, almost immediately spots signs of the plague taking hold in town, but has to provide sufficient evidence to the three feuding families that govern things before anyone will take any action; understandable, of course, but precious time is still lost. It continues to be a problem for him due to the fact that this is a time and place where things like antibodies and vaccines still aren't widely-known, and as Daniil is an outsider, the majority of the townsfolk distrust him (it also doesn't help that he's very condescending to them on account of their 'superstitious ways'). In a bit of an ironic twist, this ends up applying to him as well - there IS a supernatural element to the plague, but he refuses to acknowledge it and ends up interfering with the efforts of another character that's trying to create a cure. Small wonder then that Daniil's ending actually entails him deciding to sacrifice the majority of the plague victims in favor of the people who DO align with his views.

In Kaiju Revolution, most of Earth's governments agree to leave Godzilla, Anguirus, Rodan and Kong on Planet X against Fathom's advice. While the case can definitely be made for leaving the first three behind due to their destructive tendencies, Kong is much less destructive and never leaves Skull Island. In fact, he's vital in maintaining its ecology and it has been stated that if the imbalance on the island gets too bad, it could end up spilling over to the mainland. Unsurprisingly, it comes back to bite them in the ass in a big way.

He gives a speech about the anarchy of society he witnessed outside the village and why they shouldn't remind the outside world that they exist by contacting anyone. One of the people who hadn't voted yet reluctantly agrees and casts the deciding vote in Jamie's favor, but the other undecided council member contacts the police anyway, bringing the Chaos-Following policemen to the village.

South Park:
The scientist stereotype relating to this trope is parodied in "Pee".
Al Gore is portrayed as this, constantly warning everybody of the dreaded... Manbearpig. The idiotic way that he approaches the problem (although all adults on the show tend to be idiots) makes his endeavors useless. Manbearpig is initially presented as a complete fabrication of Gore's, but his belief is "proven" when Manbearpig comes through to the real world from Imaginationland.note Much of this is a play on the Real Life Al Gore being regarded by many as a Truth in Television example of this trope. The Onion treats Al Gore as a literal Jor-El (well, "Gore-Al"): Al Gore Places Infant Son in Rocket to Escape Dying Planet

He's believed up until his confidential data is leaked (by his girlfriend, Audrey), and then his idea is discredited... for... some... reason. Elsie does convince Colonel Hicks to sweep the city just in case, but by then it's too late: the eggs are real and they're already hatching. If it weren't for Nick and the DGSE already having discovered the nest, this would have turned into an apocalyptically stupid blunder.

Godzilla (2014): Reconstructed. Graham and Serizawa's advice about letting Godzilla deal with the MUTOs is somewhat speculative on their part and is ignored on somewhat understandable grounds. Played Straight in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), where Monarch advocate seeking ways to coexist with the Titans due to their essential role in Earth's ecology and humanity's inability to kill them all, but the government and military only care about trying to kill all the Titans to make humanity's existence (in their eyes) easier. Ultimately, the military going through with attempting to kill the Titans causes things to go from bad to so much worse.

Hari Seldon in Asimov's Foundation Series, even though he did have some listen to him. Partly because the collapse is happening so slowly that people don't really notice beyond occasional "this used to work better in my day". Seldon himself didn't believe it in the prequels until Chetter Hummin showed it to him. In fact, Hummin had Seldon develop psychohistory precisely to find a solution for the problem. He's actually put on trial outright once for treason, but since he says the empire will last for another thousand years he's mostly laughed off and informally exiled to a planet on the galactic fringe. Just as planned.

In Captain French, or the Quest for Paradise, the titular character recounts the fates of several planets that underwent some kind of The End of the World as We Know It. When asked if there was no one to warn people that it might happen, he says that there were, but everyone else just ignored them and blamed them for slowing down progress, even for warning about things that should be blatantly obvious, such as attempting to use powerful ultrasonic generators to improve a planet's climate (result: massive volcanic activity) or attempting to alter a planet's axial tilt with powerful nukes (result: melting of polar ice caps and global flooding). Some were arrested for inciting panic and disenfranchised. In more severe cases, they were punished with aging. Naturally, when everything went to hell, those who tried to warn everybody were the first to be lynched. Well, no one ever said humans were rational beings.

The NUMA Files: Polar Shift:
In the Back Story, Dr. Kovacs published a paper warning the scientific community that trying to manipulate the electromagnetic field could destroy all life on Earth. The Nazis responded by kidnapping him and trying to force him to weaponize that technology and use it against their enemies.
Spider Barrett discovers Kovacs' work in the present day and brings it to the attention of Tristan Margrave, an anarchist who wants to destroy communications satellites and bankrupt the world's Corrupt Corporate Executives. After his versions of Kovacs' device causes tidal waves and abnormal animal behavior, Spider tells Margrave that the tests are unsafe, but Margrave arrogantly insists that he can fix the flaws in his device and refuses to halt his plans. Unknown to him, his partners try to murder Spider, who narrowly escapes.

This is also the backstory of Superman villain Brainiac during the New 52; he was the greatest scientist of Yod-Colu, but his discovery of an impending threat to the planet was laughed at. He was even labeled insane and sent into exile. It wasn't long before he returned, used his technologies to compile a record of the planet's culture and history, and killed most of the population.

Kong: Skull Island: Packard could have avoided a lot of casualties if he'd thought to ask for a proper briefing on the dangers of the island once he met a man who'd been living there for 28 years.

In Independence Day: Resurgence, David Levinson is the head of the Earth Space Defense Initiative, but his insistence that the spherical ship that has popped up over the Moon comes from a different alien race is blatantly ignored by the world leaders, who opt to blow it out of space. He turns out to have been right.

In Fantastic Mr. Fox, Fox chooses to ignore his real estate agent's advice not to move into Boggis, Bunce and Bean territory. However it wasn't because he lived there that they hated him, it was because he stole from them.

In Full Metal Panic!, Sousuke is assigned a special mission to kill Gauron in Helmajistan. He's been giving' 5 squadmates who mock him because of his young age (except for one who read and believe the reports of Sousuke's past accomplishments). On the field, Sousuke advise them not to attack the enemy convoy because Gauron has not been sighted. They ignore his call, and it comes to no surprise when the attack ends up with one injured and one dead on their side.

On Downton Abbey, Dr. Clarkson's warnings that Sybil may have eclampsia and must be taken to hospital immediately are ignored in favor of the other doctor who is more respected than he. Sybil ends up dying of eclampsia.
Though in fairness, Clarkson had a terrible resume on the show before this, almost killing a man with a false diagnosis, and then missing the obvious signs that a patient was suicidal.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
In "Q Who", the ship is sent 7,000 light years by Q, placing them unknowingly in an area where the Borg are active. Picard chooses to ignore Guinan's advice to turn back now (though when they actually encounter the Borg, and Guinan tells them to protect themselves, they finally take her advice).
In "Samaritan Snare", Riker ignores the concerns of two senior officers regarding the Pakleds. First, Worf questions sending their Chief Engineer to an unknown alien ship. After Geordi beams over, Deanna, in one of her best uses of her powers, tells Riker the Pakleds' apparent stupidity is a ruse and that they are fooling him. This is perhaps the worst judgment Riker ever showed in the series.
Subverted in "The Inner Light". An alien probe connects to the mind of Capt. Picard, who seems to find himself living on a pre-space-flight planet. After spending years there, he comes to realize that the sun is in danger of going nova and wiping out the planet. He tries to warn government officials, who seem to brush him off. In the end, they acknowledge that they've known about the danger for some time but are powerless to do anything and don't want to cause a panic. Their only plan is to send out a probe to preserve the memories of their civilization, which turns out the be the probe Picard encountered in the beginning of the episode.
In "Force of Nature", an alien scientist tries to convince Starfleet that warp travel in the area of space near her system will cause a spatial rift which would be very bad for her people. The reason she's ignored is because she's incredibly pushy and abrasive and refuses to tolerate anything less than immediate, unquestioning acceptance.
It's a bit of a running joke in the fandom that Chief Security Officer Worf will always suggest a simple, brute-force solution to a problem, only to be overruled by Picard in favor of a more diplomatic, creative, or liberal-minded approach, which often leads to Worf being beaten up by the threatening party. While Worf is a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, it is his job to protect the ship.
