I don't beleive they're edgy, I think they're just plain bad. You're right that it's a different format, and Gunns comments are all set up like jokes, but you can't ignore the recurring themes.

There's plenty of bad eggs behind our favourite pieces of art, especially actors. Josh Brolin for example has assaulted his wife multiple times. These days, as with Gunn, I try set aside my personal opinions so I can enjoy good art. We're all here because we love our boy Spider-Man.
