She further added, "Madame Web started as something else and turned into something else and she was just off the ride at that point. Big-budget movies fail all the time. Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart and executives have started to believe that they're not. The audience will always be able to sniff out bulls***.
