But did she read the script before accepting the job or did she just see the check? Because it's true that it wasn't her performance that ruined the movie, but I think the disaster was coming long before filming even started.
Yes, but script changes happen. The Super Mario Bros. movie from the 90s is a great example, as they received changes several times before filming started and pretty much every day after that.

From the article:
The script she signed up for probably didn’t make it to the final movie. The production was likely a poorly coordinated mess with ever changing demands from the higher ups.
It was a film about Madame Web, there is no universe in which that could have a good script at any point of its production. It was evident from the same idea that it was a bad idea
What a dumb statement. Competent and passionate people can make any idea fun and engaging. This was 100% a cash grab and they hooked everyone with a bait and switch script.
Edit: Just because none of those people were involved in this film doesn't invalidate the point. If anything it reinforces it.
The competent and passionate people can do that, can you point out someone competent and passionate involved at some point in the development of this film?
That's not the argument.
I would encourage you to not speak so assuredly about how successful an adaptation can or cannot be based solely on source material.
Filmmaking is hard work, made even more difficult by executive producers who think their opinion should be weighted over that of the creative team. I’ve seen this first-hand, and I’ve watched projects I’ve been excited to take on turn sour.
It happens all the time.
Yeah, sure, making a movie is hard work and deserves recognition, but when you tell me that a film like Bortherlands, for example, was ruined by the executives, I can believe that. However, if you tell me that behind Madame Web there was a creative team with great ideas and that the executives were the ones who ruined it… well, honestly, I don’t buy that. Especially because no creative had any real input on the movie at any point—it was 100% decided and driven by the executives.
You just keep making up straw men.
