To top it off, while they do eventually manage to defeat Pennywise, no thanks to the ritual, Eddie is killed, completely devastating Richie. But Mike survives IT Chapter 2, and actually gets to leave Derry for a better life in the end, seemingly free of consequences for his insanely selfish choice.
As played by Isaiah Mustafa in Chapter Two, Mike fits Muschietti's promised description. Although he initially seems like he's holding it together, the film reveals that he's been stealing from Native Americans, lying to his friends, and generally isn't doing too well.
The biggest gut-punch in the whole movie, Eddie Kaspbrak, aka Eds, aka Eddie Spaghetti, dies after Pennywise stabs him in the chest with one of his giant spider-claws.
One of the themes addressed in IT is trauma, and how the mind tends to lock those painful memories away as defense, which is what happened to the Losers when they left Derry for the first time.
In the 1990 miniseries, Mike considers himself a "lighthouse keeper' for remaining in Derry and standing watch should IT ever return. After the group kills IT for good, Mike considers moving away from Derry, thinking his "lighthouse" duties are fulfilled.
We learn that Richie Tozier, the fast-talking, foul-mouthed teenager (played by Finn Wolfhard) who grew up to be a popular stand-up comedian (Bill Hader) is gay and has been secretly in love with his friend and fellow club member Eddie Kaspbrak (played as an adult by James Ransone).
In the book, the ritual takes readers on a psychic journey into King's macroverse, the realm in which It's true form — the Deadlights that transfixed Bev when she saw inside Pennywise's mouth in the first movie — coexists alongside a massive, benevolent turtle named Maturin who vomitted out the mainstream universe in ...
They reach the conclusion that Pennywise has all of the adults under some sort of spell that prohibits them from seeing him. The adults of Derry are shown to be villainous in their own right as well. The adults of Derry are shown to be true villains of the story in the same way as Pennywise.
Pennywise pretty much made Derry the perfect place for a creature like itself to live, and with the whole town under its control and with a lot of children (and adults) to feed from, IT didn't really have reasons to leave Derry.
Often, memories are the nightmares. The Losers (except Mike) don't only forget Pennywise, or each other, or the summer that they fought It. They forget almost their entire lives in Derry, because It wasn't the first nor last trauma they faced in their hometown.
Luke Roessler portrays Dean, a young boy who meets Bill near the storm drain where Georgie was killed in 1988, and who is later killed by It at the Funland.
Who plays freaky (naked) Mrs. Kersh in 'It Chapter 2'? Meet 86-year-old Joan Gregson. PASADENA, California – The absolute creepiest moment in "It: Chapter Two" has nothing to do with a clown.
Kersh is Pennywise's daughter. Or at least the daughter of the man who originally had Pennywise's face. Additionally, the trailer offers a first glimpse of Bill (James McAvoy), Ben (Jay Ryan), Richie (Bill Hader), Eddie (James Ransone), and Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) back together.
After five seasons of nearly everyone at Pearson Specter Litt doing at least one shady thing to protect Mike Ross' (Patrick J. Adams) secret on Suits, it finally came out: He was charged with fraud for practicing law without a license (or even a completed undergraduate degree, for that matter).
At first he believes it's Henry Gerard, an ethics professor who knows Mike's secret. Later, the firm gets their hands on the letter and Louis recognizes the language. Sheila Sazs wrote it. Louis dated Sheila (Rachael Harris), a Harvard employee, off and on.
IT arrived on Earth through an event similar to an asteroid impact, landing in what would later become Derry, Maine. Once there, IT adopted its usual pattern of hibernation that lasted between 27 and 30 years, awakening to kill and eat and then going back to sleep.
Finally, Pennywise tears off Georgie's arm to make sure Georgie knew he was going to die. Does Pennywise (IT) have to eat and kill only children? No, that's a common misconception, IT only prefers to hunt children because they taste better and IT has more fun with their fears.
Pennywise was always evil - or, more accurately, he never really existed. He was just a creation of IT to lure in children so they could be terrified and then eaten. Or so that IT could create chaos, incite riots and spread fear.
Stephen King's IT introduced readers to a one-of-a-kind creature that can take any form, the most common one being Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and as menacing as it is, this creature has one big enemy it's truly scared of: Maturin, the turtle.
Beverly's father can't see any of the blood in the bathroom. On one level, this is because he's an adult; a major theme of It is that the innate power of childhood and ability to remember childhood fears serve as a crucial weapon against It.
Why Art The Clown Is The Scarier Than Pennywise. First and foremost, Art the Clown is a human serial killer, unlike Pennywise. Though he does possess supernatural abilities, his kills are marked through very brutal — and very human — means.
The controversial sewer scene in the original IT wasn't random: in the book, Beverly realized that they were not going to find the exit without being unified, as they had been before weakening and defeating Pennywise, and the only way she could find to rebuild that bond between them was by having sex with each of her ...
He slaps and punches Beverly but also sexually abuses her by masturbating over her while putting her to bed. He works as a janitor. Al sees himself as a man with “no vices” because he does not drink or commit infidelity. In addition to being abusive, he is misogynistic.
The deadlights in Stephen King's universe are very difficult to describe given their trans-dimensional nature, but the characters who have gotten a glimpse at them describe them as a mass of swirling, destructive orange lights.
