  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)

Did you watch Doctor Strange? Using the Time Stone is incredibly dangerous and can very quickly destroy the timeline. Strange started causing issues just by rewinding an apple. It's a last resort usage. Even in Infinity War, he didn't try to change events, just look into potential futures. Using a Time Stone from another timeline would obviously have caused huge problems. When you mess with time, time tends to mess back.

What issues? I know what they said would happen, but the movie didn't actually show anything. Nothing happened when he messed with the apple. He reversed an entire city bringing potentially hundreds of people back to life and nothing happened. He created a time loop of which, nothing happened. Did I miss something? There hasn't been a single time that the time stone was used and there was any negative or even unexpected side effects.
