Enchantress began as an interesting, ethereal menace, but her opportunity was squandered in Suicide Squad. The character of Cara Delevingne descended into a standard, cartoonish villain with an inane plot to build an enchanted device. She also had limited interactions with June Moone and Rick Flag, eliminating any emotional investment into the plot. What's more, her CGI-driven costume and dancing in the finale were awkward to the point where she was never believable. A further engagement with her tragic duality and psychological torment could have made her a compelling foe instead of being the weakest link in the film.
