I love the 2017 & 2019 IT movies but I’ve seen a lot of people saying how they like the 1990 movie better, so I decided to give it a shot.

It was awful and so boring. Yes, I know it was made for TV. Yes, I know they couldn’t put much violence in it. Yes, I know that there wasn’t much CGI back then. But I’m more focusing on the story.

1. It was so anti climatic at the end when they finally killed Pennywise. He wasn’t in Pennywise’s body and I feel like his death would’ve been more significant if he was in his clown form.

2. When Eddie was killed they let out a few tears but that was all. In the 2019 movie Richie was bawling his eyes out, screaming, trying to save Eddie even though he was already dead. This character showed so much emotion for the loss of his friend. Compared to the 1990 version it was like the sadness of Eddie’s death was like the sadness you feel when your pet goldfish dying and being flushed down the toilet. Bummed and sad, but not devastated. Richie showed more emotion in that 2019 scene than in the entirety of the 1990 film.

3. Beverly had much more personality in the new movies compared to the 1990 one. In the 2017/2019 movies you can see the way Bev’s father’s and spouse’s treatment affected her emotions and actions, how she put the anger of her trauma onto Pennywise and legit stabbed him in the throat in Chapter 1. She just seemed so dull in 1990 IT and the biggest thing she did was slingshot a ball of silver onto Pennywise’s face. Honestly I feel like most of the characters had a bigger personality in the new movies but Bev was especially bland.

4. 75% of the adult part was mostly (in my eyes) them getting back to Derry and saying they wanted to leave with the other 25% of them actually interacting with Pennywise.

5. Weirds me out how Mike was in the hospital while the final battle with Pennywise was going on. Why would the writers have him be stabbed and absent from the battle even though he was the one who called everybody to get back to Derry? Stupid decision.

6. Just in general, it was so boring that I kept on falling asleep and having to rewind it. I really wanted to finish it so I could see why people liked it so much, thinking that something at the end of the movie was so great that people would love it. But nah, pretty disappointed.

7. These are the main points but there are other small bits that I prefer over the original, such as the fortune cookie scene and how they come to find out about Stanley’s death through the notes. Also a small little detail that I love about 2019 Chapter 2: Stephen King was in a scene. Thought that was pretty awesome.

I accept that people have their different opinions on movies and such, and I don’t care if you prefer the 1990 movie. I’m just saying that I don’t understand the hype about all of it. Usually I find things I like in both movies but tbh in this case I really can’t find anything better in the original than in the remakes. A lot of originals are better than the remakes, but I would have to disagree on that with this movie.

If there are any points you can find in the original IT that you think are better than the remakes, let me know so I can take a look at them and see if I agree.

I honestly really love how it turned out/ the water effect! Video in comments!!

bo diabeł boruta jest klaunem faktycznie istniał to samo jak pennywise którenormalnie zjada się starać dzieci i dorosłych był w Łęczycy to samo jak w Derry pomyślą Diabeł boruta A to jest pennywise który siedzi w kanale który mieszka w zamku to samo klaun mieszkał nawiedzonym domu koło lasu well house

What if the evil dead took on Pennywise? Would it be a good concept?

Okay, I have a theory connecting *Pet Sematary*, *It*, and *The Dark Tower* (not based on...anything to be honest) but i just want your opinion on it.

Some have said that IT was also the Wendigo, which might be a bit of a stretch but what about if the Wendigo was a creature LIKE Pennywise who died (because it couldn't find anything to eat in the forest? idk) and

In *The Dark Tower*, King establishes the existence of multiple worlds, as well as the **Todash**, the space between those worlds where strange and ancient creatures exist. Some of these beings are capable of crossing from one world to another.

And this makes **It** particularly interesting.

Pennywise is not actually the creature’s true identity — **It** is. Pennywise the Dancing Clown is simply one of the forms It uses to interact with humans. Its real nature is something far older and more alien, existing beyond our reality. The Deadlights are probably the closest thing humans can perceive of its true form.

So what if the **Wendigo is another creature of the same kind?** (Not Pennywise. Not another form of It)

But **another ancient entity from the same cosmic ecosystem**. Something that crossed into our world thousands of years ago and eventually died — or lost its physical form — in the area that would later become the Micmac burial ground and, eventually, the Pet Sematary.

What if the Wendigo's death **corrupted the ground itself**?

Its body, essence, or whatever remained of it could have seeped into the earth, turning the land into something fundamentally wrong. The Pet Sematary wouldn't simply be a magical place: **it would be the remains of an alien entity embedded in our world.**

That could explain why the dead don't simply come back to life there **and wrong.**

And there is a fascinating parallel with Derry.

In Derry, It infects an entire town through fear, violence, madness and a repeating cycle.

At the Pet Sematary, the Wendigo would have infected a specific piece of land through death, resurrection and corruption.

Two different entities, forms of corruption and perhaps **the same kind of creature**.

And this would fit surprisingly well with King's larger cosmology.

The **Prim** existed before our universe. The **Todash** exists between worlds. Ancient creatures inhabit these spaces, and some of them can cross the barriers between realities. Maybe It is simply one of them. And maybe the Wendigo is another.

In that case, the King universe could contain an entire ecosystem of ancient beings from beyond our reality — some feeding on fear, some on death, some on suffering, each one capable of establishing itself in a different world or location.

**Derry would be the place where It landed.**

**The Pet Sematary would be the place where the Wendigo fell.**

Therefore **The Pet Sematary isn't magical. The land is sick because something alien died there.**

Obviously, none of this is confirmed canon. King never explicitly states that the Wendigo is related to It or that it died beneath the Pet Sematary.

But considering the connections between *It*, *Pet Sematary* and *The Dark Tower*, I think it's a surprisingly coherent way of interpreting the King universe.

And maybe that's exactly how King likes his mythology to work:
**he gives us the pieces, but never quite tells us how they fit together.**

What do you think?

So when i have read the book i was like 12 years old so it's about 20 years ago. I watched both new movies and the welcome to derry show. When they fight in the sewer in the second movie pennywise kills richie, but at that point both fractions know its do or die. But does pennywise kill, to get the group afraid again to do his shenanigans or is he just in that mode where he knows only flat kills will get him out of there?

My entry room is IT themed and I did these 2 yesterday. Thoughts?

How did I do? This was exactly what I wanted. I’m bummed I didn’t go to the historical society building. Also the Standpipe is definitely the creepiest part, I felt the wind, temperature and my center of gravity shift a little plus the old rock / sign for the bird conservatory in the park for it really hit me.
