(AVENGERS ENDGAME SPOILERS) What if, during the Battle of Earth, Iron Man had said something else?
I'm not doing a theory or fan speculation, this is just a scriptwriter's exercise. If you downvote me for thinking this out loud, I apologise in advance. SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame follow.
During the final moments of the snap during Avengers: Endgame, Thanos calls himself inevitable, echoing something he heard his 'predecessor' say. But what if the exchange had gone down like this instead?
Thanos: I am inevitable.
Tony (snapping the actual gauntlet, while looking up to the sky): And I...didn't waste my life, Yinsen.
What would the implications of this be on the audience and in the final act of the film?

If I _had_ to add in Yinsen, I'd make Tony meet him in the soul world just after the snap to show that he was still grateful to Yinsen after all these years.
