Such as the case of Sam Raimi, who was vocal about his disdain for Venom, but was forced by the studio to lump him into Spider-Man 3 because "that's what the fans wanted..."

Whether or not the film would have been better had he got the Vulture like he wanted is debatable, but we can all agree that Venom (who is typically a lone wolf) had no business being in that movie to share the spotlight with two other villians trying to kill Spidey. The film might have been better if the studio had not forced all of those plot lines (in addition to the dancing and crying) in addition to the Sandman and Harry's story arcs to begin with.

Studios tend to forget (and Marvel Studios is starting to become guilty of this as well...) sometimes less is more...
