Ibis claims that this is based on humanity's inherent self-destructiveness, while James' ghost claims he does it not out of hatred, [[MercyKill but out of mercy]] for those suffering under a system that hates them.

That's not what a Mythology Gag is. It /might/ be a Casting Gag, if there are any specific references in his performance to that show. I don't know enough about the show to say so, though.
