If it's off-putting, it's not boring.
If it's off-putting, it literally is edgy.
If one represses something off-putting, it's very liberating to reveal it.

You're right about one thing. You don't know why they do it.

    It's off-putting because it's stupid, and being stupid is not edgy, it just stupid.

    I mean it's fair to say in some movies there's jarring scenes that pull from the rest of the concept of the movie. IE if you are watching a rom com, and they decide to throw in a 30 minute chase scene, it's likely to detract from rather than add to the movie. Some scenes bundle well, some scenes bore half of the audience, and would have done better as seperate things.

    It's always fair to complain about parts of a movie that you didn't like, because the quantity of complaints on the whole either encourages the existing movie makers to shift their movies, or in the best case scenerio, encourages someone else to make a movie more focused on the things you like without the parts you don't.

    You are making a straw man argument.
