Maxwell Lord is character with such little lore and impact it seems, that so far his two biggest appearances are nothing like what he is in the comics. In Supergirl, he's just a dicky smart billionaire who is a discount Lex Luthor. Doesn't even have his powers and ends up being "turned good" by the end. Here, he's just a con man who lucked out onto a magic stone. I probably like the movie version a bit more, just because Pedro Pascal chews the scenery.
As for Cheetah, I thought Kristen Wiig knocked it out of the park. I was afraid they were going to make her Electro from TASM 2, but she really did a great job with what she was given. Easily one of the best villains in the DCEU (Zod is still king though). I love how she becomes Cheetah, wanting to be her own person, rather than just a Diana clone.
