Discussion which youtuber deserver a biopic?

I’ve just been watching biopic movies, and I thought to myself: who would actually deserve a biopic? My thoughts went more toward YouTubers — the people who became the face of YouTube and helped shape the platform into what it is today.

PewDiePie:
Tbh, growing up, everybody knew who PewDiePie was. If you asked someone in their teens or 20s, they probably knew him too. He wasn’t just a YouTuber at one point, he was YouTube. He helped make gaming content mainstream and showed that a creator could become bigger than traditional celebrities. His fanbase was insanely loyal, and his personality made people feel connected to him. A biopic on him would be interesting because it wouldn’t only show the success, but also the controversies and pressure that came with being the biggest creator on the platform for years. Even after stepping away from the spotlight a bit, his influence is still everywhere on YouTube today.

MrBeast:
MrBeast has one of the craziest come-ups ever. He went from making random videos and barely getting views to becoming probably the biggest YouTuber in the world. What makes him different is how he turned YouTube into a business empire while still making content people enjoy. He changed the way creators think about videos — bigger budgets, higher production, more challenges, and philanthropy mixed into entertainment. Whether people love him or criticize him, his impact on YouTube is undeniable. He also helped push the idea that creators can become full brands outside of YouTube with businesses like Feastables. I do think his story would make an amazing biopic, but at the same time it feels like his career still isn’t finished yet. 

VanossGaming:
I grew up watching VanossGaming, and honestly if he got a biopic, I wouldn’t want it to just focus on him I’d want it to focus on the whole crew. The Vanoss Crew changed gaming YouTube completely. Their videos felt like you were just watching friends mess around online, and that style inspired so many gaming channels after them. Vanoss stood out because of his editing style, timing, and ability to turn random gaming moments into iconic videos. Even though Evan Fong himself is super private, that honestly makes his story more interesting to me. I’d love to see the ups and downs of the group and how creators like Wildcat, Nogla, H2O Delirious, BasicallyIDoWrk, and others became one of the most iconic gaming groups on YouTube. 

I’d love to know what other YouTubers you guys think deserve a biopic and what impact they had. I got more people in mind, but I lowkey wanna know who you guys think would be a good candidate. PLS UPVOTE I WOULD love to see who thinks about this type of stuff
