Aye, that's basically what I meant; deaths, or some other form of loss, that have emotional impact. The Magicians 8 were pretty much just Villain of the Week material, so it didn't effect me much; the fates that befell Yurin, Grodek, and Don Boyage were nice, but they're spread far apart and overall I don't feel like the war has felt very horrific or tragic. It's a pretty dull, tepid war when most of the fallen soldiers are characters the viewer has about as much emotional investment in as a random stormtrooper.
