What are examples of bad director duos?

Farelly brothers, Coens, Russos, Wachowskis, Lord and Miller etc.

Pretty good track records for these teams, but are there counter examples or should mid directors just find a partner?

I will not forget. I will not forgive.

edit: I only realized just now that I'm in movies, but I stand by my assertion.
- Tbf, they had a pretty good run with the source materials but got greedy.
  
  The Rings of Power have an unknown showrunner duo who seems to be doing much worse
  
  I will admit they were good at bringing someone else's story to life. I still can't forgive them for their later transgressions.
The Wachowski brothers made great movies. The Wachowski sisters... Not so much.
- I really don’t know whether I like this comment or not 🤨
  
  Time to demand sidevoting
  
  I agree that the movies they did earlier in their careers were more enjoyable to me, but I also am confused
- Like the matrix and...?
  
  v for vendetta
  
  Cloud Atlas was pretty good too; I also liked Sense8 on Netflix
  
  Speed Racer is a wonderful film fully embracing the formalism side of film making. My favorite film by them.
Ahh I can't think of the movie but there was one on how did this get made that was made by a married couple who ended up getting divorced after one of the movies
- Was it the Mario Bros movie with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo?
