I have to blame myself to at least some extent as I went in thinking that Steve Rogers maybe WAS going to die, but I knew they weren't going to do it, but even though I obviously don't want Cap to die, I almost wish they did as it would have REALLY shook up the MCU and would have been the 'controversial/emotional' ending the Russo's talked about.
How emotional would it have been if Cap surrended just like in the comic after the end fight with Tony, then as Cap is taken into custody, he gets shot by Crossbones if they kept him alive. I knew the filmmakers weren't going to do this, but this ending would have matched the Winter Soldier Hydra/SHIELD ending in terms of really shaking up the MCU.
Yeah, I'm just really surprised in general that NO-ONE died in this movie. (Apart from Peggy, but that doesn't really count.)
I'm not downing the movie, cos it is AWESOME! and IS probably my best MCU film. The Empire Strikes Back of the MCU.
