 There's a big deal of grief for them, but why does everyone forget the team of Normandy marines tasked with defending the bomb who were all slaughtered, leaving Ash/Kaidan the only survivor?

Only named characters matter. This is true of pretty much all media.

Because they don’t have names and they don’t talk so why would anyone care? They are just interchangeable dolls with no distinct features. There are several other exactly like that running around so no one really forms any emotional attachment over them.

Don’t think many people would be crying just because generic marine 23, 47 and 16 died? NUUUUUU not number 16!

Hey, I liked 16...

16 WAS JUST 3 DAYS AWAY FROM RETIREMENT!!!

*sobs*

But I agree it is a bit weird that they're never even MENTIONED in that debriefing afterwards...

Yeah, for "realistic" sake, those deaths definitely should have been mentioned, but honestly I never even thought about it. Guess i'm a cold, coooollld person

That's it. Take Star Trek, for example. They regularly lose redshirts and no one loses a word about it, but Oh, behold! a named character dies and there comes the grande space burial scene.

This isn't a novel where you can spend a few paragraphs describing characters and then killing them off like David Weber does.

R.I.P. Marine 47. Rest easy knowing no one gives a damn.
