Naw, it was the sound of Tony Stark banging on the first Iron Man suit in the cave, an audio homage to tie it all together.

Really? That's kind of cool if that's the case.

That's what I've read from various sources, e.g. https://www.mpaa.org/2019/04/the-mysterious-sound-in-the-avengers-endgame-credits-revealed/

The clanging at the end of the Endgame reminds us of the fairly humble beginnings of the MCU. Tony went into that cave a morally vacuous jerk and came out of the cave as Iron Man. Then in Endgame, he became a savior. Watching Tony sacrifice himself to dust Thanos and save the planet—and do so after telling Thanos “I am Iron Man,” another call back to the first film, was somber catharsis on a grand scale. The hammering we hear at the end of Endgame is the sound of both a beginning and an end. It’s a fitting tribute to the man who brought the MCU to life, and whose death brings it into a new phase.

I think the snap is basically a representation of "any motion that signifies the culmination of intent". Like with a light switch. The potential for light is there all along, you just have to make the definite motion. All the intent in the world is pointless until you reach out and flick it. A deal isn't sealed until you shake hands, or sign the paper, or click the button, etc.

"The snap" could have been "a clap", "a slap", or even "that thing where you fold your hands and make your middle fingers fiddle in the air and it looks weird". The motion itself is irrelevant, but it's the significance of "this is what I want and I'm saying I want it now".

The snap became Thanos' thing. It's what he intended to do in the first timeline, so it's what he still intended to do when ripped into the 6-years in the future timeline.

Professor Hulk doing it was just because that's what they always talked about.

Tony doing it was kind of a royal middle finger to Thanos' intent.

At least, that's how I see it. This came up in discussion with my oldest after seeing the movie.

Happy Hulk dabbed and fat, alcoholic Thor threatened a kid in Fortnite over PSN. Pretty sure this is the best movie I've ever seen.

I did it! I made it through the movie without peeing!!

I've read from multiple sources that the Black Widow film explains her past

Scarlett Johansson also did a gauntlet

I think it is imperative that Rey remain "normal" in lineage but special in the sense that the force selected her. I think you could do an entire disposition on how the Jedi thought the force worked vs what it really seems to be, kind of dispel the idea of midichlorians and perhaps restore some magic to the force. Your special because the force selected you, and in Rey's case, she is strong of will and has a good heart and is worthy and I think that is the one thing Ryan Johnson got right. JJ would be best to expand on that.

She's just a normal person with normal crappy parents who rose above that to become a hero.

They really made that point at the end of TLJ with the kid and the broom. That it didn't matter where you came from, The Force is for all who choose to access it.

But if she's got to have the lineage, I'd vote a Kenobi.

Also, this. Alone on a desert planet communing with the force-ghost of my mentor. Yeah, I heard those Mos Eisley chicks are fast.

Twist: Sebulba is a girl

You're gonna be disappointed
