14 Simple Fixes That Could Have Made Suicide Squad Awesome

The Problem

Incubus. Basically everything about him in fact. In an attempt to ramp up the threat, Incubus was introduced as a secondary villain, with no motivation other than mindless violence, while the film tried REALLY hard to insist that he's at all important.

The Solution

Remove him completely, and promote Monster T to being at all important.

Look, Common was screwed by the way Suicide Squad presented him, so it's time to right that wrong as well. He was presented as the film version of Tattoo Man (right down to the same facial piercings and tattoos), and then Joker killed him off without any suggestion that he actually had the comic book villain's powers.

Those powers manifest as him being able to bring his tattoos to like, including snakes on his head, tendrils and other assorted silliness. In short, he could very, very easily have taken the place of Incubus without compromising those rampage scenes that were designed to escalate the action.

Instead of having a 100% CGI rendered character (with awful effects, mostly), Ayer could have had Monster T working with the Joker as a means to draw out the Squad before he turned Enchantress to the dark side. And we'd have had Common performing as the villain with CGI augmentations, which would have been a far better solution all round than the Incubus debacle.
