Just gonna put this here.
#top cut off but its a locg review of abs power origins#aka the john ridley take of waller's origin#and its a mixed bag. and like i appreciate a lot of what hes trying to do in the first bit and retell her original origin which i love to#see. but as i said shes been changed so much its like having bruce wayne become superman to me like 2024 waller has a radically different#set of goals. so telling a story where she would logically have one then pivoting to make her focus on smth totally different at the end#just doesnt make sense. like bc its within the constraints of absolute power and what they need her to be i honestly think theres no way of#telling this story right in the way she deserves at this point in time realistically. like i would love to be proven wrong but thats not#what i see happening#anyways if i was writing this and didnt have to make her crazy 2024 waller id have her learn collins was corrupt after she had basically#secured his victory/gotten him elected (and have had her genuinely BELIEVE in him) only to then get leverage and use him as a puppet to do#some good by voting in the way she wanted. which would then later spark the idea of the suicide squad bc its the same concept (using the bad#people who exist and have power to use that power for good) just on a different scale#etc etc cue events of sui sq 1987#amanda waller#absolute power: origins#absolute power#fuck it ill put it in the tag#wednesday spoilers
