I don't like Edwards or Trank. But IMO a lot of the fault has to lie with the executives and studio-side people in charge of the projects. They're the ones who hired Edwards and Trank, despite the fact that they had limited experience as directors outside of indie films with far smaller budgets - Edwards went from a movie with a $500k budget to a movie with a $160 million budget - and they're the ones who presumably listened to and accepted Trank's and Edward's pitches.

And that's also why I don't agree that the problem is too much auteurism and we need the studio system coming back and directors who work to briefs. The studio system *can* work in principle but it doesn't work in 2022 because the whole cinema industry is just too weird and unbalanced. And having directors work to briefs isn't automatically a bad thing but in practice, at the moment, what that would mean is directors doing whatever development execs tell them to do. And that's not an improvement because, as noted, the development execs apparently don't have any fucking idea what they're doing.
