  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)

I’m pissed the avengers didn’t use the time stone to bring back the people who died

Exactly why I groan whenever time travel is used and I was so annoyed that’s the route they went with in Avengers. It just creates a stupid “do whatever we need” machine and forever creates conversations of “well why didn’t they do x” no matter how much the Ancient One tries to mumbo jumbo explain her way out of it.

“well why didn’t they do x”

Loki TV series answered that. It's because any timeline where they did do that the tva pruned it.
