In defense of Suicide Squad, finished product aside, the idea that Superman's death motivated Waller to put together a team of freaks to deal with meta-human threats in insane black ops missions covers a specific political corner of the DCEU. Not to mention the post credits scene that shows that their own potential risk is not unnoticed by a key character of the DCEU. The actual movie was kinda all over the place, but I wouldn't call it inconsequential in the same way, say, Ant-Man was (nothing really happened that affected the MCU in any substantial way).
