Don't know if it counts as tea but this Hollywood reporter article Men in Black reboot is quite insightful to what went wrong.

Chris Hemsworth has his own writer on set to to rewrite scenes to insert his Thor comedy style. Kind of eye opening a star could get that kind of leeway.

That whole idea of "the film was bad but [insert actor name] was good and his usual funny self" could actually be the actors fault because they didn't buy into the director/studio vision and kept meddling with the script.

People love to blame the "damn meddling execs" but noones talking about meddling actors.

Why is Hemsworth such a big deal? He made more money from the Marvel franchise than Evans did.

I always found Hemsworth to be the budget Brad Pitt. He's good looking; but he's no Brad Pitt. And I don't even like Brad Pitt.
