the fact that often times musical jack is the main inspo for newsies pics is crazy because movie jack is a far more interesting character.
because he puts on this whole fearless act, but deep within you can tell this man is just aching to be told what to do and have a place to be, a place where he's safe and comfortable and isn't responsible for making decisions for hundreds of people.
there's a part of him that likes being in charge, a part of him that preens when people praise him and call him a fearless leader. and sometimes it feels good, being in charge of yourself. being free. but what he truly yearns for is a family, and security, and the fact that the musical took this away from him is an actual crime.
musical jack doesn't yearn for a family. musical jack years for freedom. now movie jack- he wants to be protected and loved, and he uses santa fe as his cover for that because he denies himself his true desires, and being a cowboy is a perfect symbol for that.
anyway jack is a bottom gbyeee
the last part oh my GOD
