In prioritizing Bucky, Steve also became a fugitive and betrayed his team (Vision, Black Widow, Rhodey).

Tony smiling to himself (to me) felt like him recognizing that Steve is still a noble guy (that Tony wants to punch is his perfect teeth). It is also a throwback to Tony's comment to General Ross about thinking it is funny to put him on old.

I cannot see any way it would have dramatically improved the stories to have one of those characters murder the other.

Steve killing Tony would have been wildly out of character.

Tony killing Bucky would have resulted in an emotionally broken and devastated Steve Rogers (probably in jail) and is not an interesting character development to me. It the same, cheap character breaking that happens all the time in other media.

Bucky kills Tony. What would this improve? At most, Steve would be a little sad? It would also go against Bucky's character in Civil War. He spent the whole movie trying not to kill people. Hell, in that final fight, it looked like he was trying to disarm him.

I strongly disagree with your interpretation of Tony's reaction in the end scene and the notion that showing grief after death would have been "cheap character breaking" but I respect your opinion. I didn't notice Bucky trying to disarm him (how do you disarm a power suit?) but I'll probably end up watching it again now.

Hah I guess we both could have had our cake if they'd made it seem like Tony killed Bucky, or at least to the point where Steve thought he did, but he actually survived. Then I'd get my truly meaningful decision when he doesn't kill Tony - and breaks the revenge cycle as a result - and you'd get your lack of a body count.

(how do you disarm a power suit?)

Taking out its power source, which is what Bucky was shown to try to do even in the trailer.
