Ironically , we learn that he lived a long , peaceful liveliness with the woman he loved .
However , fan assumptions were n’t unfounded , as Captain America ’s death really would ’ve been more fitting . The fans wanted him to die , in a way , to be eternise as a symbol of forfeit . It would ’ve been such a Captain America way to go .
Iron Man: It Carried The Heaviest Impact

Everyone do it ( both in - universe and exterior of it ) that Captain America would rather lose his animation on the field than allow an friend to give themselves . Captain America ’s eccentric was such that he ’d go out with a smile , safe in the knowledge that his ritual killing meant something .
Iron Man: It Was Alluded To In “The Avengers”

It just does n’t seem right-hand that Captain America would sit on the sidelines , dance happily with his making love interest , while his effective ally was being brainwashed and used as an assassinator to bolt down the parents of another close friend . The time travelling inAvengers : Endgamemessed with the timelines a piffling , but the Winter Soldier ’s chronicle remained the same .

" He made this his life ’s deputation , holding truthful to the thought even though it take a horrible turn inAvengers : Age of Ultron .
Iron Man again refer to the “ suit of armor ” mission at the beginning ofAvengers : Endgame(during his controversy with Captain America ) , which mean everything he did during the Time Heist was to ensure his mission was realize . After he did protect the world , his mission was complete and it was meet he ’d die afterward .
Captain America: His Actual Ending Wasn’t That Great
To be totally honest , part of our need Captain America to make the sacrifice fare down to the fact that his actual end inAvengers : Endgamewasn’t all that good . We mentioned before that it was out of character for him to sit around knowing his admirer were in pain , and this is further supported when you consider how much better it would ’ve been had he sacrifice himself instead .
It did n’t even strictly need to be a forfeit ; any other kind of send - off for Captain America would ’ve been better than the end he get .
