U know what I just realised? In The Greatest Showman, 95% of James Gordon Bennett's lines are just... roasting Barnum. Ik his dialogue is supposed to be conveying the highbrows opinions of circus, but I just find it hilarious that Barnum and Bennett will just flat out start throwing passive aggressive barbs at each other anytime they like lol.
Also do u guys think that after the circus is rebuilt, Bennett pulls an Anton Ego and starts to publicly support Barnum? Ngl I see Lettie, Anne, Charles and everyone else being a little weary of him at first but I just think that after the heart to heart Bennet and Barnum had near the end of the movie it would kinda be impossible for him to start criticizing the circus again.
