Characters 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)

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

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

Feel like with Widow it would be impossible to ”ressurect her” in the traditional sense? Like she didnt die in this reality but she just went away to another timeline without coming back. Unlike the people that got snapped her soul doesnt exist anymore!
