A Million Is a Statistic/Playing With

Basic Trope: A single death of an important character matters more than thousands of Redshirt Army's.
 * Straight: Through the course of the show, we see many Mooks and Red Shirts being killed by both the heroes and the villains, either for the sake of defense or because they have outlived their usefulness. But when Alice gets killed cold-bloodedly by the Big Bad Complete Monster Emperor Evulz, all her teammates suffer from Heroic BSOD and mourns for the next few episodes, which was Emperor Evulz' Batman Gambit to slow them down.
 * Exaggerated: Multiply the Red Shirts and Mooks by over nine thousand, and make Alice The Scrappy.
 * Downplayed: The heroes do sometimes think about the many people (whether it be Mooks or Redshirts) who died because of necessary actions or Emperor Evulz, but then realize that, to defeat Emperor Evulz, some must lose their lives. They just couldn't deal with Alice's death the same way.
 * Justified: Rule of Empathy
 * Inverted: The heroes could care less when Alice or another teammate dies or goes missing, but deeply mourns when people they hardly know loses a life.
 * Subverted: ???
 * Double Subverted: ???
 * Parodied: "A bunch of armies wearing red shirts just died?" "Don't worry, We Have Reserves!" "Wait, Alice just died? OH GOD!"
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: The heroes empathizes for Alice just as much as the others.
 * Enforced: The creators wanted to emphasize how important Alice is to her teammates.
 * Lampshaded: "It's strange, isn't it? We've seen so many armies and citizens killed, and killed many villains ourselves... but none of their losses matter to us nearly as much as Alice's does."
 * Invoked: Emperor Evulz realizes this trope and kills one of the most loved member of the Five Man Band, in order to make the others vulnerable.
 * Exploited: Same as above, but Emperor Evulz does it accidentally and later exploits the heroes' reaction.
 * Defied: ???
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
 * Deconstructed: ???
 * Reconstructed: ???
 * Played For Laughs: ???
 * Played For Drama: ???
