Do you think things would have turned out the same if James went through the construction site with Rachel and everyone and Jake was recruited near the end?
Answered (approximately) here! As close as I'm going to come, anyway, since I don't know that I can write this without retreading ground. That said, if anyone else has ideas then please add them.
Okay I just met James and he is my officially my favorite character ever. I love you bestie. Please don’t die.
Who was more massacred by canon (Character assassination/flanderization, bad adaptation, bigoted treatment by writers etc.)?
James (Animorphs)

Rupert Giles

Me when James flipped Jake
I'm not sure if you already answered that question but how many of the Auxiliary Animorphs survived the final battle in Eleutherophobia besides Collette?
I've been remaining deliberately vague on that, but I've confirmed Pedro, Collette, and Elena are alive, and that James and Timmy are dead. Ray, Tricia, and Liam are all confirmed dead onscreen in #50 or #53, and TBH it feels like we'd hear about it if James survived. I always assumed Elena had the best odds of surviving, since she's the one who ends up living in the hork-bajir valley with Marco's parents and we never get confirmation she was sent into the final battle, whereas I just wanted Collette to be alive. Other than that, I don't think it has come up.
animorphs is anti blonde propaganda and im thankful for it. no more please.
Just found and reread the master post for all of the genderflip posts you've done, and was curious. What are your thoughts on how James would've been different, in self and others perception, if he was a girl?
Hmmm. Intersections of femaleness and disability, intersections of femaleness and disability...
The thing Collette says about "A disabled kid is like the kitten who becomes a cat. You’re a kitten, everybody wants to pet you and play with you. You get a little older, you’re just a nuisance" (#50)? Oh yeah. All of that. Girls are supposed to be cute until they're attractive — sometimes this switch happens OVERNIGHT — and for a decent percent of disabled girls, the hegemonic notions of "attractive" are off the table. So James gets showered with semi-condescending affection until she's, say, 12... at which point she gets warehoused and forgotten about.
James is defined by being assertive. For fighting the authorities on behalf of friends who can't fight for themselves. If she's a "difficult" girl who's "high maintenance", she's going to get a far worse reaction from the nursing staff than she already does. Which wouldn't stop her — this is James we're talking about — but might mean she has less success in advocating.
You know how Collette has an almost Toph-like compensatory toughness about her, with all the smack talk and extreme sports and bullshitting? James would have some of that same vibe. She'd be punk, of course, not jock. But I bet she'd have a mohawk, 12 piercings, etc.
She'd click with Cassie more than Jake. Because her trust issues have trust issues — with good reason — so she'd be entitled to a blanket wariness of any nondisabled guy. She'd figure out that Cassie doesn't have her same cynicism, of course, but she'd also respect that Cassie can be tough when toughness is the most compassionate option.
Marco would say something flirtatious to her in their first meeting, and Marco would get body-slammed to the floor. Sorry, Marco.
Everyone else: Rachel | Jake | Cassie | Marco | Ax | Tobias
