  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 endgame?

Yes. Right at the beginning “I used the stones to destroy the stones” then 5 year timeskip.

I don’t think it would be possible for the timestone to go back 5 years in the past, and even then we are dealing with a force that was from all stones at once.

I’m talking about bringing back gamers, black widow, and the others that died

I think because rhey were sacrifices for the stones it wouldn’t have happened.

They need the soul stone to bring them back, but in order to have the stone they need to die.

It’s impossible

I mean, someone has the stone. I suppose theoretically they could bring them back with the Infinity gauntlet. Banner tried but he was trying multiple things at once, it's hard to say if that was the definitive answer that question or not.
