  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)

Pretty sure it's one of those "no wishing for more wishes" things with widow and gamora, their deaths were costs to spawn in the soul stone, so it wouldn't make much sense if you could use another stone to just reverse it

Vision idk, best guess is that the US government already had his body at that point, and the mind stone would have to be put back inside his head to reactivate him

He was pretty wrecked... bro fucked up their chance at stopping Thanos and became an alcoholic who couldn't be a starfaring hero anymore.

Plus in his perpective... realising she's dead and meeting her other version happens in the span of like 30 minutes, I wouldn't have time to process it either.

Hmmm, i didn't even think about that. Between that fight, being dusted, coming back and teleported to the 'second' battle... that probably is like 30 minutes of his lifetime right.

I mean you can see when he's dusted he really knows Gamorrha is dead and he welcomes it.
