I'm seeing people compare James to Spoony, but you have to remember there's distinct differences between the two.
- The main one being James actually MADE a movie, Spoony hasn't, and has only appeared in TGWTG movies which he can't claim are his own.
- Spoony was badgered by a fuckton of feminists (including his own GF) for making a rape joke on Twitter, which is part of what caused Spoony to have an internal crisis. James got badgered by feminists for saying "fuck no" to the Ghostbusters movie, but not only were the complaints from the bitches a nothingburger, but he wound up marrying and impregnating a woman even after the backlash.
- Spoony keeps making bullshit excuses (mostly health realted) as to why he can't make new content (streaming playing games doesn't count). With James we now know majority of the creativity came from outside sources like Mike, as anything James tries to do on his own winds up turning into shit.
Spoony just flat out gave up. No amount of convincing will ever get him to make anything new ever again. Idk if it's because of the people around him that haven't helped him snap out of this mood he's been in for like a decade, or whatever else, but he's just a breathing husk as the man himself died off. Some people would argue that Spoony could make it big again if he tried, and while he wouldn't be as big as he was in his prime, if he was sincere about his appology, the way he acted all these years, and truely cared about making content again, I can see epople flocking to him in droves.
James will probably keep making mediocre to boring stuff just to pay the bills, but otherwise he'll probably retire to take care of his kid, which he feels very strongly about. His viewership and ratings will probably tank as well, and I'm sure this book didn't help him one bit either.
