History of Amanda Waller: DC’s Most Ruthless Mastermind

[@variant]

How do you feel about Amanda Waller's role in the DC Universe?

[@kingshadow8782]

😅

[@kingshadow8782]

She is Despicable!

[@dumbKNOWLEDGE101]

One of my absolutely favorite. I love the characters in comics that have no powers but command/demand respect and fear in those with super power. Plus she is an older heavyweight black woman that gives evil grandmother/High School principle energy.

[@racheljackson4428]

GREAT! it's amazing to see someone realistic enough who hated superheroes as well as the Justice System,which is inline in Australia because our justice system is flawed. if you want to see what i'm talking about, listen to the case of Celeste Manno and the anger her mom was!

[@ginofrancejr555]

One of my favorite villians because she believes she is doing the right thing. No matter what the cost no matter how cruel or how violent it is. She spooks the spooks

[@GaryTurbo]

Someone said it perfectly, she joined the same system that failed her

[@JETyler]

She figured out how to wield that system for her own means, rather than remaining a victim of it.

[@tomlawal7991]

@@JETylerClock it, I support her wrongs I fear

[@vmaninc.761]

Yeah, it's only shows how much of a hypocritical monster she truly is, for instead of actually fixing the system to make it work for everybody that was like her she went and broke it further with her own corruption. 🙄🧐🤬😎😁😉🔥💯👍🏻

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is that supposed to be weird like a twisted irony about her methods of bringing order to the world?

[@moshymosh]

Her diet failed her too.

[@intergalacticchicano]

It's crazy that some of the most dangerous people in DC are just regular humans, the Joker, Lex, Amanda, Batman

[@MrDeadbroke26]

Damn, you are absolutely on point with this comment!

[@Chuck_EL]

All three are my top 10 favorite Dc Villians

[@grahamcann1761]

Viola Davis is, I think, a great actress; however, I think the original voice of Amanda Waller, C.C. Pounder (Carol Christine Hilaria Pounder) was the best! As always, thank you so very much for the videos

[@racheljackson4428]

Can't wait for Viola Davis potraying the character again in James Gunn's DCU.

[@joshy9124]

I think Amanda Waller is the comic book representation of the saying knowledge is power. She is that idea brought to life

[@vincentfranklin17]

I understand why she is the way she is. I see her as complex, but she's a villain.

[@expressiondestination6430]

She really isnt. Pissed off widow and mother of a dead child joins the same system that failed her to get back at the system that hurt her.

[@knytewing3107]

I was first introduced to Amanda Waller in the young justice tv show. When Suicide Squad was about to come out, I knew that was her based on her attitude and mannerisms. Waller is the somebody you don't wanna mess with unless you're 110% sure of what you know you're doing and what you're in for this time around. Unlike Batman, there ain't no guarantee you'll survive so make sure you think things through.

[@daviddaugherty2816]

I fully agree with Aris about New 52 Waller. In the superhero genre, everyone is an absolute smoke show. Making Waller older and heavy-set makes her stand out _way_ more.

[@ericwilson8558]

Thank you so much for this video. Now, I understand why Amanda Waller hates superheroes and vigilantes.

[@IAmImprintJones]

Mad love to my fellow South Carolina native the EGOT Queen herself Viola Davis for representing this character so well as well as CCH Pounder, Pam Grier, and Angela Bassett for their contributions to the character, thank you for that shout out arris 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤🖤👑👑

'IT'S A DIRTY JOB .. BUT SOMEBODY GOTTA DO IT' - AMANDA WALLER

[@wavemantha4th]

Moral of the Story......Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn

[@WeaponDamage]

It’s understandable why she’s the way she is, she’s a very complex person, but despite that, she’s still a villain.

[@cudamopar557]

Nell Carter (Gimme a Break) or Hattie McDaniel (Gone with the Wind ) would have been spot on casting for Amanda Waller. Shirley Hemphill (What's Happening) would be a runner up.

[@StevenHouse1980]

You don't mess with the wall.

[@greyworld6242]

And all walls will come crashing down eventually.

[@ThomasTenma]

I think amanda and donzo would get along swimmingly

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

Dreamer locking away Amanda Waller's memories or knowledge, I feel like... well she is obviously going to get that back, but the way in which she will get them back, I feel like it would be a few things. 1. She gets out, escapes, or manipulation or bribes of guards or something like that, and she has a drive or file or maybe a mental copy or maybe even a telepath under her control somewhere, where she can gain back all of that knowledge to be amazing again. 2. When Brainiac found Amanda Waller on Earth 3 or somewhere in the mutliverse and sent her back to the Prime Earth under the disguise as "The Light," maybe he imbedded a microscopic copy of himself inside of her just like how he did to Lex Luthor in the DCAU, and he does sort of the same process of assimilating her body and all of that, but Amanda strikes an accord with Brainiac and using his telepathic powers he lifts Deamers tampering and Amanda Waller has all of her knowledge back. 3. Other. Tell me what you all think.

[@TheManCone]

I think it was smallville, but when Martha Kent squared up against Wahler and Martha shut her down...Martha basically told her to imagine the mind that had to conceptualize raising a super being ,all the things she had to do to keep clark a secret from the world all those years and on top of that add a mothers love and that wahler was way out of her leauge and should just forget about clark..

[@keithegan8035]

What about CCH Pounder being cast as her in the DCAU opposite Kevin Conroy's Batman and other ones.

[@quentinfogger5755]

With the release of the trailer for Superman 2025, Can you do history of Metamorpho, Mr Terrific and Hawkgirl along with the Engineer just like how you did the history of Guy Gardner as Green Lantern?

[@dumbKNOWLEDGE101]

About time thank you

[@seanpatrickcain2]

Can't wait to see her in Peacemaker Season 2 and Superman

[@cgsoldier4196]

And canonically, she’s from my hometown of E. St. Louis, IL. 89 Blocks stand up!!!!

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at the History of The Brain from Teen Titans\Doom Patrol🧠🤖

[@kanegainous4724]

I really loved this episode !!

[@kingshadow8782]

I’m here!

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

9:24 9:28 HELL YEAH ARRIS!!!!

[@kingshadow8782]

Hell yeah!

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

I agree. I love the fat, beastly Amanda Waller, because nothing beats the original. Also, it is just... she seems like no one you would take seriously, but she is so smart, has connections, information, and everything that she needs to take control of everything.

[@edwardtdm123]

Amanda Waller is such a terrifying figure in the DC universe. 😨

[@jonatanjensen2649]

Honestly I understand why she does what she do that was really unfair for her

[@ginofrancejr555]

Excellent video can you do videos on history of rick flags sr and jr and history of weasel

[@WCLCooke]

She is like General Eiling in the episode "Patriot Act" of Justice League Unlimited. How many innocent civilians is she willing to keep them safe?

[@exodia9817]

I always hate characters who aren't villains who hate superheroes. They seem to think for some reason superheroes aren't needed or shouldn't exist. And Amanda Waller is one of them. Besides, the police and politicians of Gotham and Central City are corrupt, hence why it's necessary for superheroes to take the law into their own hands.

[@jordanmorrison100]

Hay the mini series team 7 was pretty good IDC I liked alot of the new 52

[@ericnancy4385]

I think general Thaddeus Ross and Amanda Waller would really get along considering that they both hate superheroes and Ross's obsession in capturing the hulk!

[@raycenteno7698]

You know the movie the Candy Man? I never thought it was scary.

[@Uncleed251]

We need this cold hearted Amanda Waller in the films the woman who was willing to have Terry's parents killed just to create a new Batman and Black mailed whoever she could just to get her way

[@ALL4ONE5288]

seeing her dancing in dc isekai was fear and hunger moment.

[@iiazurenovaii1]

Feel like you can write a whole essay on this woman fr.

[@samcarter4710]

dont forget shes also behind batman beyond

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think is the best thing about Amanda Waller in the comics compared to Batman? Which animated movie or TV Show do you think did a great job in portraying her?

[@rubyrubio3970]

Can you do the history of magneto, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen please

[@ericwilson8558]

Can you do a history of Sabretooth, please 🙏?

[@hellarrownoe6410]

Amanda Waller is as complex as anyone in Batman's rogues gallery.

[@rubenrosales725]

Creature commandos is hilarious and awesome

[@wheres_polo]

Their a reason everyone called her Amanda WALLer when they made her slim I was pissed like give us back our big queen Ps I love the animated movie where they gave her the rhinos body lol

[@IncogNegroGaming]

She'd make a phenomenal green lantern

[@ericwilson8558]

Can you do a history of blackheart, please 🙏?

[@mechmaster315]

I hear we are getting a Secret Six series where Waller is gonna appear

[@quentinfogger5755]

How's Amanda Waller compared villains like Lex-Luthor and Darkseid like how intimidating is she compared to them?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is Valentina Allegra De Fontaine supposed to be the Marvel version of Amanda Waller? Who do you think would win between them?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What's up with the first origin of Amanda Waller with how she helped someone get elected as president so that she can rise to power herself after losing her husband and two kids?

[@ericwilson8558]

Can you do a history of DC's the clock king from batman (TAS), please 🙏?

[@DamiousD]

As much as I like Viola Davis, they could’ve cast CCH She does such an amazing job voicing Amanda Waller and she’s a hell of a good actress if you did not watch Sons of Anarchy.

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Nice

[@sammcfarlane2494]

Has she ever been arrested?

[@adamsifford6228]

I like her being more military spy stuff.

[@christinsley5385]

With her will power could you imagine what she could accomplish with a Green Lantern ring 😂

[@quentinfogger5755]

Who's better as Amanda Waller between Cynthia Addai Robinson or Viola Davis?

[@thenightHunter16]

Debra Wilson is pretty good as Waller too👍👍

[@ZOOOKAGE]

AMANDA FUCKING WALLER , I want her to become a meme akin to Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan she has no right to be this imposing Yano haha

Hey!

[@Actionfan19]

She hates people who work outside the law..............the irony in that.

[@wolfstatus]

❤❤❤

[@UltimateSpider1385]

I feel like Amanda Waller is the equal to Sam Jackson's Nick Fury in terms of calculation, strategy, and deception.

[@A_itsar]

Animated waller was perfect, i dislike recent comics waller

[@VGInterviews]

Husband should've been a better vigilante then

[@greyworld6242]

So……. She basically wants to control and make those suffer that have no connection to her sad background and is now a massive narcissist that wants to make it other people’s problems because she says so. Am I getting that right or not?

[@sandmaker47]

I prefer her to nick fury sr. He uses too many lmds, which is just the same as doom bots.

[@CaptainClark23]

🙅‍♂️ premieres

This all sucks not my thing . Is she a detective or a vigilante...what team is she on and who is right hand what are her weaknesses does she have a love or hate reality

[@sipp4238]

Another day being Black in America

[@keylightsystems]

The most hated character ever. Anytime she dies or loses I feel good.

[@a-bomb777]

I have to respect her skills, but she is a despicable woman who probably doesn't have a friend in the world

[@SteveErkelPoindexter]

Waller is an idiot. I could understand her position if she hated the cops. What did the vigilantes do to her.

[@vmaninc.761]

Yeah, it's official her origin story only shows how much of a hypocritical monster she truly is, for instead of actually fixing the system that failed her and her family just so to make it work for everybody that was like her she went and broke it further with her own corruption, her story doesn't inspire any sympathy from me, I have more admiration and respect for her attractive and capable new 52 counterpart than I ever would have for her and given how poorly received the new 52 version was that's saying alot. Lol 🙄🧐🤬😎😁😉🔥💯👍🏻
