Anyways, the moment where Tony Stark uses the infinity stones to snap Thanos and his army out of existence was very powerful. It does, however, cost him his life.
His final words are in response to Thanos: "I am inevitable"
He says: "And I... Am... Iron Man".
Yes, gripping and powerful. But believe it or not, it may not have happened.

Jeff Ford, the editor for Avengers: Endgame, talked to Collider about the alternate versions of the ending.
He said that Robert Downey Jr. likes to try a lot of different things, and so they shot a lot of different takes for the death scene.
Luckily, the Russo Brothers don't mind improv.

Ford said about the process:
"Robert had different ideas…We give him space to do that. Joe and Anthony are great about improv. We shot a run of different performances for that last moment. Some of them were crazy. Some of them we would never have used."
