It’s a bird, it’s a plane—no, its the cast of the Avengers in one of the most cringe-worthy political endorsement videos this political season. The stars of the Marvel blockbuster “Avengers: Endgame” have reunited not to battle intergalactic threats but to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in what some might call an “awkward” and “tone-deaf” attempt at political engagement. Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, and Paul Bettany gathered for this cinematic gem, which was graciously shared on Ruffalo’s X account. They joined forces to concoct a series of flat, mindless catchphrases for the presidential hopeful that show us why they are paid to work in front of the cameras and not behind. We’re back. Let’s #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts ?️ #VoteBlue! Vote @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz pic.twitter.com/Xp7YdUEqxa — Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) October 31, 2024 In a world where everything seems to demand a catchy slogan, the actors playfully tossed around award-winning brilliance like “Kamala forever” and “I’m down with democracy.” But when Cheadle quipped, “I’m Kamala Harris, and I say down with democracy,” it was as if they’d handed republican critics a golden platter. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in with a comment worth a thousand smirks, “Um, a little too much honesty here….” Um, a little too much honesty here…. Kamala Harris “tearing down democracy!” ? https://t.co/86NZtQstRW — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 1, 2024 The attempt to rally votes for Harris was met with swift social media backlash. It sparked a wave of comments from those who’ve grown weary of celebrity political endorsements, with one user aptly stating, “I believe we can safely say Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the Hollywood douchenozzle vote.” I believe we can safely say Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the Hollywood douchenozzle vote. https://t.co/X0XybC6pLd — Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) October 31, 2024 This isn’t the first political rodeo for these stars. In 2016, they rallied against Donald Trump with a similarly star-studded video. Yet, as they try to assemble for democracy once again, the real question is whether their efforts are helping or hindering their cause. Ruffalo’s urgent plea, “Don’t sit this one out. It’s the one where we will lose big…” almost feels like the plotline of a Marvel movie gone wrong. For fans of the Avengers tired of Hollywood’s political posturing, this video is yet another reason to roll your eyes and find solace in rewatching the classics—where superheroes save the world without endorsing political candidates. It seems that sometimes, not all heroes are invulnerable. Certainly, these ones need a script doctor.The post Avengers Assemble to Lay Down The Cringe first appeared on Worth it or Woke.
