The 2014 Thanos from Endgame was going to destroy all life in the universe. He learned that his alternate version succeeded but the survivors were able to circumvent him, so resolved to destroy all life and start over from scratch.
So Iron Man did save all life in the universe.
Edit: I now see that there are other comments and replies to this when I go direct to this post on lemmy.world but none of those are federating back. Hopefully .world updates to 0.18.x soon.
I think he meant in-universe 2014. That was the year Nebula and Rhodey traveled to for the power stone where that timeline’s Thanos became aware of the time travel plot. That’s the Thanos that’s the big bad for the rest of the movie.

Wait… Did you say 2014? As in 9 years ago?
Oh, hold on… Endgame came out in 2019. That’s better, I thought I had just woken up from a coma.
