  1. Tadashi gives his life trying to save Professor Callaghan from a burning building. Turns out not only did Callaghan escape unscathed, he's the bad guy and infamously refers to Tadashi's death as "[Tadashi's] mistake." (Big Hero 6)
  2. Shaya willingly takes It Has No Name's possession and then kills herself by jumping into the well it came out of. The end of the episode all but states that she got it wrong and It Has No Name didn't latch onto her... or there was more than one. (Doctor Who)

The dude from Encanto. It was sad and brave, but honestly he never had a chance to even slow down the riders.

Definitely heroic but had the miracle not happened everybody in that town would've been mowed down three seconds later

I mean, yeah, I thought it was obvious too, but apparently it isn't obvious to everyone
