Imagine a great artist (in their mind) who worked for marvel but was fired, a workman like boring amateur artist and a Marvel editor go to lunch. These two artists started an indie company together and are friends. The "great artist" has struggled to put out one indie book that failed and the mediocre artist is now a thriving creator who's 12 book completed series is optioned for a tv show. The Marvel editor starts to shit on the mediocre artist, verbally urinating on his ancestors graves. The "friend" and former marvel artist doesn't stick up for his friend but joins in, making fun of the mediocre artists book. He actually joins with the guy who works for the company that fired him in shitting on his supposed friend. Why? It's the reason Ethan would never, ever work FOR Eric. He would only go to Eric's company to "show him how to run it".Which circles back to EVS should of bent the knee and worked for EJ, someone to give him deadlines and make sure he met them, give him the direction he clearly needs to be productive.
The moral of the story is artists have massive ego's that don't correlate to business acumen or success. As a result when their "superior" work that they often never even finish fails and things they see as inferior succeed it creates a shattered illusion for them. They are superior and therefore know what is best even if the other person is clearly more successful.
So when Evs screeches, he has no business running a company, this is why. He doesn't understand, can't comprehend Eric's success, all he knows he is he is a "professional" Eric is an amateur and has no right to do anything but be subservient to Evs. When the Rippaverse was being created I guarantee EVS assumed it would fail. In EVS mind he is a better artist, therefore it is impossible for Eric to outperform him (running a business is irrelevant to him) and with Eric succeeding he needs to do everything in his power to set reality straight again. As the artist at that table (why EVS recently praised geoff johns and even other woke comic "pros") himself and other "true" comics pro's are on a level that an amateur hasn't paid his dues and can never attain. So Evs needs to put them on the pedestal beside himself, Eric as an amateur needs to be below him. He'd only work with Eric if Eric bent the knee (despite Eric being more successful than Evs) that is how deluded he is and divorced from reality.
