What Does The Ending Of Suicide Squad Really Mean?

9. The Ending

Enchantress New
Warner Bros.

After freeing Waller, she calls for a helicopter evacuation that she could have called for at literally any time from the roof, and promptly crashes it, with Enchantress "plugging in" to her brain to identify key military targets and destroy them with her magical death laser. It's not clear why really, since she intends to kill everyone anyway, but it's good to be doubly prepared.

The Squad decide to go and help - mostly because it will mean helping douchebag Rick Flag get his girlfriend back (Enchantress has possessed her, but she's so bland it's easy to forget she's even a thing).

They convene at Enchantress' position, who unleashes her brother to walk around smushing things like a deeply uncharismatic Hulk until Diablo the pacificist decides to unleash the fire demon within him to fight Incubus. He's too much for the villain, but then all of a sudden he's not, though he manages to keep him in place while Killer Croc and Scott Eastwood plant a bomb underneath him and they all blow up.

At that stage Enchantress is annoyed, and fights the remaining Squad members hand to hand before remembering she can just take their weapons off them, only for them to distract her, chop her heart out and throw a bomb vest at her magical portal weapon that Deadshot shoots and she is vanquished.

Luckily June Moone is saved (somehow, don't ask), and everyone gets locked up again, because incredibly Amanda Waller is literally invincible.

So that's the plot. All pretty straight-forward right? Well, there's a lot more to it, and some burning questions raised, so let's get down to the ending breakdown.
