If he tries to finish it it's a 66% chance of a bad outcome. With only a 33% chance of a good outcome. Outcome #1 he compromises himself and puts out some safe Marvel tier slop. Which would be a negative outcome in his own mind even if it was popular because he sold himself out
Option #2 he writes what he wants no matter that it's edgy AF and gets cancelled by the woke mob and his legacy destroyed
Option #3 he writes what he wants and actually does not get cancelled and his
legacy is intact.
That's a 33% chance of success.
OR he chooses NOT to finish it and has a 100% chance of keeping his legacy intact
