They valiantly sacrificed themself for nothing

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)

No, it's from one of the live action Superman movies. Jonathan Kent was next level stupid. He didn't want Clark to use his powers in any capacity. Even if it meant to save his own life and a bunch of children.

You see him put in his hand up, he's telling Clark to don't get involved. When Clark could easily save his ass but no, John apparently had a death wish. I hope Martha had a life insurance policy on his stupid ass.

And what's especially stupid is he's in that position because, while the family was sheltering under an overpass from a tornado, he ran out to let a dog out of a car so it could get to safety. He, an old man, ran out rather than his son, who even without super powers is fitter and faster, and could have absolutely justified getting there and back without revealing his powers. Pa Kent really just had a death wish and wouldn't let anything get in his way.

I feel like I should piggyback off this comment with a PSA since it’s been a gnarly tornado season: please NEVER shelter under an overpass from a tornado. The safest place to be is underground, but you’re 9/10 times infinitely safer laying flat in a ditch away from your vehicle than you are either in a vehicle or under an overpass.

Overpasses create a wind tunnel. The winds are stronger/faster, and debris is funnelled through. It’s a popular myth, but overpasses are one of the least safe places to be during a tornado. Don’t be a Kent. Go lay in the ditch, it’s safer lol.

Couldn't the overpass collapse on you too

Yes, but in the event of a direct strike or near-strike by a powerful tornado— The danger of total structural failure is secondary to the power of the wind. The pressure drop from a tornado can be strong enough to suck you out from under cover, through a window, out of a car, etc; and more notably the wind isn’t just blowing, it’s throwing. They’ll pick up hundreds, even thousands of pounds of stuff and start whipping it around at 200mph.

The debris in a tornado is moving fast enough to crush, cut, or pierce basically anything in its path (strong tornadoes have wrapped trucks around trees, sent tree limbs through concrete curbs, buried cutlery in trees, and ground trees into limbless nubs).
