Flash/Chuckles/Mainframe kind of made sense because they were during a massive battle and you expect casaulties during those.
Yeah, the Red Shadow deaths were part of the storyline, but I just got the feel they were done for a "see, we're killing people" kind of thing.
See that's just it. Joes didn't die until people started complaining about the lack of realism by not having any deaths, so almost out of spite, they said ok, we'll take a bunch of Joes that aren't really seen much and just kill them off without their deaths having been integrated into the story. When a character dies it should drive the plot in some way or be meaningful to the overall story arc, not just to satisfy deathlust or placate gripers.
