10 Greatest “I’m Dead And I Know It" MCU Moments

As the literal dust settled on an era-defining conclusion, one man sat on the edge of the Great-Beyond having finally made the "sacrifice play".

Moments earlier, it looked like all was lost. Thanos was finally primed to snap those glorious golden fingers once again. But the innovative Iron Man had other ideas and, one piece of Infinity pick-pocketing later, Tony Stark had snapped away the big bad; but at a price.

Unable to even muster up his usual brand of charm, the fast-talking, quick-witted Avenger had no choice but to drink in his fate. Far from being left to pass on alone, though, Stark watches on as his closest pals all join him for a few final exchanges. Parker celebrates their victory, Rhodey touches his best pal's cheek with the very armour he created, before Peppa Potts greets her man and gives him permission to finally rest up after years of trying to single-handedly save his world from destruction.

Robert Downey Jr.'s stillness and loaded silence as Tony welcomed his last few glimpses of the people he loved is a thing of heart-breaking beauty to behold. And will likely be an Endgame unrivalled for years to come.
