What is behind this ultimately, is just the quality of the story choices that end up in the finished film. That's it. Now, when it comes to "improv" filmmaking and "finding it in the edit" there's a lot of hubbub and misunderstanding, too.

Mostly because there are filmmakers use that as excuse to make zero decisions because they have no actual understanding of actual story mechanics. Then, there are those who do... Lord & Miller have a proven track record of having been able to do that.

For me I had less issue with, "troubled production" and more issue with, "Disney once again hired a creative person/people and then decided they weren't right for their brand" which is less about, "this will be a bad movie" and more, "this will be a less ambitious movie."
