I'm sure sometimes studio meddling is good. We probably don't hear about those times too much. But man is it hard to imagine...
no director would feel the need to be like "man these assholes kept jumping in and just making my movie way fuckin' better! it was great!"
I guess I have seen cases where people have talked about execs, like, reigning in directors who were losing sight of the project, as it were, which I guess counts as "positive studio meddling". You're right though, that sort of insight rarely comes from the directors themselves.

Late news for Americans, but Hidden Figures is excellent and people should go and see it.
Also I didn't get the memo about Janelle Monáe and hey, hi, hello *sheepish shuffling of feet*

James Gunn actually said something like that for Guardians.
To paraphrase (if memory serves), he said Marvel kept going "No, make it MORE James Gunn. It's not James Gunn enough yet. We hired James Gunn, didn't we?"
There is a cracked article about time where studio intervention saved a movie. I cant find it but that has to mean there were at least five time in history that studio execs made the right call
TLDR: The Thing prequel originally had awesome practical effects and the studio made them paint over them with CGI. That's why the film looked horrible. Some of the puppets they had looks fucking awesome.

If I'm remembering the documentary I watched correctly, Casablanca was this way.

Woah hold on we glossed over the fact that Godzilla fighting a goddamn EVA on that popcorn box??
There were some godzilla vs. eva art things done back on April Fools, I think that was one of em.
Yeah, but it did get its own page on the official Shin Godzilla website that they continued to update well past April 1st. http://shin-godzilla.jp/gvse/
There is a cracked article about time where studio intervention saved a movie. I cant find it but that has to mean there were at least five time in history that studio execs made the right call
5. Back to the Future - Doc had a pet chimp buddy, and the studio came up with the DeLorean
4. Good Will Hunting - originally just a generic spy thriller and Malick was brought in to fix the end
3. Easy Rider - Hopper's edit was between 3 and 5 hours
2. American History X - very little Edward Norton
1. Alien - writers thought having robots/androids was a terrible idea, also wanted to call the film Starbeast

Good Will Hunting was originally about spies, you say
I'm imagining a live-action Lion King film done thirty years ago, in the vein of Homeward Bound where they just have footage of animals with voice-over.

Yeah. Will was recruited by CIA suits in the original pitch due to his math skills and it became a thriller.

One of the early trailers/posters for Back to the Future had a nuclear bomb reflected in Marty's sunglasses.
Also my signed early draft of the script, Jennifer's name is different.

They kind of riff on it near the end when Will is listing off possibilities for his future with Sean.

That's honestly a little surprising to me
Given how The Wolverine went, I figured they'd screw it up somehow

It was half of a very very good movie and half of a mediocre one which averages out to perfectly fine
Like, I want to watch both of those Wolverine movies

And it was a pretty good movie in it's own right.
Although I'm pretty sure Murray and Walken both heard the Favreau say "no musical numbers" and went "fuck that noise why else do you think I'm here?!"

If it were the second half that were very good, I'd actually agree with you
But since the second half is the mediocre-to-bad one, it ends up being a real disappointment to me
They screw up all the good things they do in that first half
