https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/6/8/AABd5gAAEiTM.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/6/9/AABd5gAAEiTN.jpg DC's equivalent of Nick Fury. She is The Wall. And she doesn't take shit from anyone. Not even Batman. She knows he's Bruce. And has threatened him before with exposure. In most of DC history she's overweight. In a universe wide reboot in 2011, they made her skinny. I am not sure if she is still that, or has plumped out again

Maybe it's my bias due to the DCAU, but I think her character works better fat.

Wasn't she made black, female and plump because Nick Fury was white, male and skinny? Aka, his direct opposite.

Fat

Purely because there are hardly any fat characters in media and the few that are fat are usually joke villains like The Blob

Actual characters who are fat or skinny and just have distinct personalities is rare.

Ever chick looks like a underwear model
Every male looks like a gym bro.

It's so boring.

She was consistently full figured or fat but then Viola Davis did a perfect job with her role I just prefer that character either way.

It's probably Samuel Jackson's charisma, but I always felt that Nick Fury in the movies seems a lot more tolerable, and kinder than Amanda Waller in any adaption I've seen (though to be fair Amanda Waller, is mostly seen dealing with criminally insane). Dunno, if that's true in the comics?

Amanda Waller has never been nice and always has been grey. Things she does will be for the greater good but she's such a dick about it. I love it.

Amanda Waller is supposed to be a villain

The stuff she does is super fucked up "For the Greater Good" and she has a big track record of fucking up.

She's basically comic book Henry Kissinger

Nick Fury is way nicer and way more morally good. Even if sometimes does grey things.

I agree on Viola Davis playing the role great.

As for the animated series, fat or skinny, I just don't want the writers to go out their way way to make the black woman as grotesque as possible.

This is OK, I liked this waller.

Thick / heavy / older.

Not every character needs to be a sexpot. DC has a weird thing going on where they gave Cheetah a Freddy Krueger face because they're desperately afraid of "furry" characters, but she still has the body of a porn star. Amanda Waller was literally nicknamed the Wall because of her imposing physical figure. Yet, they turned her into a Halle Berry type.

I'm all for sexy characters. But it's not like *every* woman needs to be one. I'd understand if she were the only Black female in the DC universe. That would be a pretty bad look if White girls were skinny and pretty and the one Black girl was thick, older, and unattractive. But I'm pretty sure that isn't the case.

Fat.

Based on my limited exposure to the character(suicide squad, and some clips of the animated version on YouTube) she seems much more menacing as a larger character. She has a huge personality and her appearance should match.

Also, based on the pics in the op, fat Waller looks like she's about rip someone a new one, while skinny Waller looks like she's about to fire someone for not getting her the right coffee order.

I don't have a preference, she can be either. Also to whoever said nick fury is skinny.... dude is jacked.

With waller it's moreso the gravitas of her voice and actions.

Just like Marvel, DC made their comic book characters looking more like the live action movies. In this case she's looking like Viola Davis's Amanda Waller.

Somehow it fits the "remorseless bureaucrat" better if she is fat, and I can't really articulate why
