If the person who dies in the comics doesn't in this film or some time down the line, and I don't think he will, then I'm done with Marvel films.

This is really uninformed because:

1. Cap doesn't die in Civil War. Cap dies in the aftermath heading to trial
2. Cap doesn't really die BECAUSE of Civil War, or anything actually having to do with Civil War, the two events are basically separate.
3. Cap dies because the Red Skull orders it, and the Skull using the event for his own means and other machinations that involve destabilizing the Cap identity, manipulating Carter, using Kronas etc.

It's kind of shortsighted to think that the conclusion of CW relies on Cap dying, the conclusion of the Comic Book CW is based on the idea that Cap believes enough is enough, he doesn't take Stark down in the end. He lets himself be captured. That's the end of CW.



With that said, a Cap death, while effective on screen, they aren't killing him for good, so there's almost no reason to do it.
