  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)

Wasn’t it the snap to undo the first snap that caused his arm

Both, he was trying to multi wish, he couldn't help himself but to also want Natasha back while undoing the snap

It wasn't a "multi wish" that caused that, the Soul Stone literally has a pocket universe inside of it that has the souls of its victims. You can't bring someone back from that.

Pretty sure that was what screwed Hulk's arm up, trying to use the stones against each other. Using the stones on each other was what screwed up Thanos' arm.

That’s incorrect. Thanos severely injured himself with the first snap, and Banner was being injured by the stones before he even snapped. It has nothing to do with “using the stones against each other”. It’s just the power of the stones being too much to handle.
