‘Maximal cringe’: Avengers cast roasted for assembling to endorse Kamala Harris



The Avengers cast have assembled to endorse Kamala Harris for president in a video posted to social media.

Actor Mark Ruffalo posted the Zoom call to X that featured actors who appeared in several Marvel mega-hit movies.

Joining Ruffalo were Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira and Chris Evans.

Throughout the clip, the actors debated what Kamala Harris’ campaign catchphrase should be.

Some of the actors even jokingly quoted their character’s lines from their respective movies.

After a lengthy chat, the actors were happy to settle on the vice president being “down with democracy”.

While the actors seemingly enjoyed their experience on the call, social media users roasted it and labelled it “cringe”.

“Maximal cringe. Now I can never watch another Avengers movie,” wrote one user.

It sounds like they’re mocking Harris

The only people who are upset are dumb donald followers. It's ironic when a celebrity endorses dumb donald, his followers cheer. Then, when a celebrity endorses VP Kamala Harris, it's no 1 cares. How pathetic are you clowns 😂😂😂

私は日本人ですので、アメリカの政治にどうこう言うつもりはありません。ハリス派かトランプ派かどちらにせよ、まずは「人」としてどちらかに政治的思想を重ね持つ事は理解できます。
しかし、コミックスや映画のキャラクター達を政治利用し、思想を語る事には少なからず嫌悪感を抱いてしまいます。
エンドゲームまでの作品や俳優さん達の演技には魅力を感じていたものの、演じた作品やキャラクターを政治利用する俳優さんには正直冷めました。
昨今のエンターテイメント業界に入り込むDEIの過激な活動家と同じ構図に見えてしまいます。
自分の思想を広める為だけに既存の人気作品に乗っかりストーリーやキャラクター性を破壊していく行為にはウンザリです。
せめて一から自分達で作った作品やキャラクターでやれよと思います。
