Justice League (animation)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Franchise Original Sin]] While this show is overwhelmingly remembered for the Cadmus arc and introduced Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad to a broader audience, it also set the stage for a lot of [[Flanderization]] in later iterations regarding Waller and the Squad. Waller was depicted as a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who mistrusted the League, but she was never a [[Bad Boss]] who saw people as expendable and she also recognized when her subordinates crossed lines, such as when one of them fired a nuclear missile unprovoked. Later adaptations would gleefully turn Waller into a blatant [[Card-Carrying Villain]] who commits gleeful evil acts without remorse while showing a [[We Have Reserves]] attitude towards the Squad. The Squad itself was depicted as villainous in the show, but they were generally depicted as not very violent and who are boxed crooks who really don't want to be in the Squad, and they were not doing anything too awful since they were stealing armor instead of being orders to kill someone and trying to avoid unnecessary incident. Later adaptations of the Squad have them full of unrepentant psychopaths who would gleefully kill at the drop of a hat, often causing missions to go off rails and create immense death tolls.
