Are studios really that much to blame when it comes to movie blunders? Constantly when movies come out we hear that studios forced cuts that made it worse, or they constrained something that forced the director to not make the movie he wants.
Are studio executives mostly idiots? It seems like they cut alot out of movies and make them worse.
Literally think harder

Studios run things like a business, when it should be more of an art. They don't like taking risks, and feel safer looking at numbers and formulas. They feel much safer making Fast and Furious 14, than making something original. Although when they do make something original they and all the other studios will run that shit into the ground.
Then they also run movies past screen testors, which are mostly dumb tourists (also retired people or 18 year kids who aren't in college) coming to places like Vegas or shopping mall who have 3 hours to kill in the middle of the day to watch some random movie they've never heard of, it's not like they ask people hey want to watch this movie called x its about y. They just ask if you have time to watch a rough cut of a movie.
They get dials they they can turn positive or negative. Most dumb people turn it positive for things that are familiar or heart warming, not actually good. In terms of comedy they dial gets turned usually at the punchline, so they studios look at the data and then try to trim the set up, as if that makes sense.

You only hear about when studio meddling ruins a film.
You never hear about all the times when studio intervention saves a movie from directors who have lost perspective (like Kevin Smith with his original ending to Clerks), when the studio edit keeps the film from feeling bloated and confusing (like the director's cut of Apocalypse Now)

Yeah, they are idiots.
I worked for a few studios. Hollywood is not for creative people.

Or the theatrical cut vs the extended cut of King Kong

When will they see that often not letting the director do what he wants ruins the movie thus hurting its revenue generation?

Just look at history of Snowpiercer. Yes, yes they are. Because jews are retarded.

op talks about cutting movies, doesn't post obvious WARNER BROS.
Cuts BVS, Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending (to the point of unwatchability), Then fucking extends the Hobbit a 3 hr movie too long.
they are retards. They paid for the movies material, so why waste the money by cutting it, if it is a business.
Also, in all of these cases, they lost money due to their cutting/adding.
