On one hand, yeah, Ironwood might die, but on the other hand, wouldn't that be a bit repetitive, having the headmaster of every single Huntsman Academy die? Ozpin, Lionheart... and now Ironwood? That honestly decreases the likelihood of him dying, in my mind.

Also, it's funny how his response to Oscar telling him not to let fear control him was to say he won't end up like Lionheart. In a way, he is ending up like Lionheart, but in another way, he's not. Like Lionheart, he is giving in to fear, letting it control him, letting it separate him from his allies. Unlike Lionheart, it is not causing him to surrender to Salem or give her what she wants. Instead, it's just causing him to lose his mind and lash out, grabbing at any chance to "win" against her in any sense of the word. His response has always been fight, while Lionheart's was flight.
