I didn't change the subject at all. Why don't you answer my question? Is it a 'fantasy' that the squadmates are brave and smart and fit, or is it not?
No, it's not. People who didn't possess those characteristics wouldn't be able to serve effectively as squadmates. Well, except smart, but I don't know if I'd count all squadmates as necessarily smart.
Whereas people could be very effective squadmates while being really ugly.
Though I don't really have a problem with many of them being attractive so long as "attractive" is interpreted to include an appropriately wide variety of people, rather than effectively making everyone looking the same.
My problem with ME3 would be that "attractive" had a tendency to be interpreted only as "large boobs", and in Ashley's case "looking like Miranda".
