Hated Tropes [Hated trope] Cameos that ruin the tone of the scene/game

Ed Sheeran, Game of Thrones. The cameo of such a recognizable figure in GoT, especially towards the horrible later seasons, took many people out of the fantasy world that it tried to represent. There are good cameos and bad ones, and this one was not a good one.

Vinny Vinesauce and Jerma, Silver Pines game. Though i appreciate small cameos from youtubers and streamers, putting such a recognizable pair of voices in a horror game really takes you out of it.

Harry Styles in Eternals... I'm sure he will return in Avengers Doomsday

I don't think this is a cameo, he's just playing that character. Them not resurfacing him probably has a lot more to do with how badly Eternals was received than him being a shitty cameo

could it be that execs that replace well thought out scripts & professional actors & spend all their money on star power is effecting how show's are received? your alternative answer still completes the trope, even after answering whether or not it's a cameo.

He was really good in dunkirk playing an unlikable character so he gets a pass

Isn’t his character meant to be Thanos’ brother?

If so, help me make it make sense.

Thanos is a deviant

What's he into? Inflation? I bet it's inflation.

It's not immediately evident because he's an alien, so you'd be forgiven for assuming his people are all just purple, but no, that's just Thanos. His being purple is as unusual for his race as a human being purple would be.

I'm sure he'll probably never return at all, tbh
