I know this is probably not at all a hot take among fans of her but Amanda Waller really is an interesting character who the writers use in the least interesting way possible
#Early Amanda's writers were like 'here's a character who ostensibly wants the same thing as the heroes'#(Keeping people safe)#'But also disagrees with them and has some (understandable tbh) concerns about the whole 'superhero' thing'#And then later writers are like 'what if she was exactly the same as every other goddamn villain'#Also I don't think this route has ever been taken#(And I'm not sure if any current DC writers are qualified to take it)#But you probably could make something out of how most of the heroes Amanda opposes were born with their power#While she is a fat black woman who probably has to fight to be taken seriously#Which could inform why she acts the way she does#Idk I feel like there is a reasonable fear and lack of trust at the heart of her character#And I wish writers would explore that sympathetically#I don't need her to become a full hero I'd just like a story which sympathizes with her#Amanda waller
