The Problem With Amanda Er
By The Mighty Monarch 15 Comments
Amanda Waller is hands down the single worst redesign of the entire 52. How many female characters in comics are skinny and attractive? How many are heavy and robust? How many are heavy, robust, and POPULAR? AMANDA FUCKING WALLER. THE WALL. You can't take The Wall out of Amanda Waller, or you're just left with Amanda Er. As in, errr, who the hell is this useless unintimidating government administrator bitch? Certain ain't no Amanda Waller I know. Seriously, whoever designed this atrocity or even approved of this bullshit needs to be sacked. Immediately. I'm dead serious. Red Hood may have made Starfire into a walking blob of sex, ditto for Godiva in JLI; but THIS is a bigger contribution to the negative objectification of women in comic books. Taking a popular and damn well respected figure who happened to be heavy (And was indeed defined by her epic weight and uniqueness) and making her a skinny sexy cardboard cutout. FUCK YOU DC.
