Am I missing something, or are the tropes in this index really all over the place in what they mean. I believe ´WMIA Mook´ was the original one, and it is about how characters in a work of fiction don´t care about the life of nameless goons while making a big deal about killing their boss. I´d expected ´WMIA Non Super´ to be similar, but it instead it´s turned into the Muggle Power trope about non supers trying to steal the powers of superpowered characters and kill them. Which is a worthwhile trope, but has very little to do with ´WMIA Mook´. I thought you could file the dismissive behavior of superpowered character towards normal humans under ´WMIA Non Badass´, but that one is about fan reaction to non badasses, not about the reaction within the story itself. Is there a trope that covers the lack of importance attributed to (the lives of) normal humans within the story, besides A Million Is a Statistic, which only applies if it's about a large number of people?
