YMMV / The Death of Captain America

• Hilarious in Hindsight: When Doctor Faustus has Bucky captive, he tries to break his spirit by projecting a dream into him of an alternate WWII where Captain America was secretly a Nazi. Bucky dismisses it easily, knowing it to be impossible. Come Captain America: Steve Rogers...
• Like You Would Really Do It: A shocking number of fans, both casual and serious, genuinely believed that Steve Rogers had died and would stay dead. Like The Death of Superman, it was even reported on the evening news and newspapers. However, plenty of comic fans familiar with Death Is Cheap (and those who realized that Steve was soon to star in a major movie) realized that there was no chance he would stay dead.
