The problem with Cap is that Marvel just didn't know what to do with him. They tried some anti-America storylines (Cap questioning whether America is good for the world, etc.) Fans didn't appriciate that at all, even though I loved it.

The 9/11 flag-waving era was good for Cap, but since then it basically came down to this: Conservatives want him to be one-dimentional.. unquestioning in American policy, which isn't popular with liberals or most of the world. You can't make anyone happy when it comes to Cap. Better to just kill him off now and bring him back in the next patriotic swing.
