I would have less of a problem with Amanda's drones if "Suicide Squad" hadn't happened. I don't mean the episode itself, but I wish the writers had made up a better mission. This quote summarizes my feelings perfectly: (from GreenArrowTV) "Waller lives on the most ridiculous side of the “ends justify the means” spectrum, sporting a plan so unnecessarily sinister that it doesn’t even make logical sense. Why did they plan to bomb the house on the night so many civilians were there? Why wasn’t covertly sneaking in when Qadir wasn’t home an option? And why not just…give Deadshot a tracking device to put in the room instead of implanting it? It’s all manufactured to be as slimy as possible, but the main concept of the mission is so not a suicide mission that Waller had to overcomplicate it to make it a suicide mission. Watching the episode on first viewing, these things weren’t too bothersome—a testament to the absolute fun the episode is to watch, which it totally is—but it falls apart when you think about it. That aspect doesn’t make Waller seem malevolent so much as kind of silly."
I could see how the situation in Starling (It's official, I have started liking the name "Starling City" better than "Star City") called for a drone strike. Kind of. But it would have felt like a bigger deal if it hadn't happened already.
