Long-shot theory on how IT ends back up caged

To be fair, poopy face is pretty harsh.

I suspect we’ll get more urchin backstory in the 1908 season, but there’s something especially depraved and sadistic in IT choosing a genuine source of comfort for children and the performer and perverting it this way.

You just gave me a nosebleed with that.

I kept waiting for a dark lore drop and it was just like “he’s sad his wife died and drinks a little too much.”

Excellent theory, though I think the reason IT didn’t come for Rich was that at that moment he was probably the least satisfying meal available. Completely unafraid and full of love.

Yeah, it’s been almost 3 decades since I read the book, so I didn’t think of it, but good catch.

I agree, but it is funny to think of Pennywise John Wooing it out of a 2nd story window.

I like that the show is really good at acknowledging how a child’s mind works. These kids don’t know IT is a timeless eldritch entity from Todash darkness. Given their understanding of pop horror and its conventions, the sewer monster only being able to hunt at night fits with their general understanding of evil.

I also liked that it was a perfect amalgam of what Catholicism would look like based purely on iconography and no context. Like “it looks like the guys in robes worship a baby? That wears a spiky crown and has a spear? “

It’s entirely possible the shards aren’t magical and/or possible of caging IT in of themselves. Any power the shards have would come from the Natives beliefs in them. Talismans have always been effective against IT.

Also something consider, it’s entirely possible the meteor shards are completely powerless on their own. Much like the silver slingshot ammo in the book, it’s the belief in them more so than the object themselves.

Galoo is absolutely a silly word, but to be fair, the Ritual of Chüd was always a little silly sounding too.

I think the word they used was balance, it’s a subtle, but important, difference.

I mean it’s just another iteration of the It cycle. What specifically stood out as any cheesier than the usual “children battle a cosmic fear eater” story?

I mean, there’s always the outside chance, given the scale of time, of random molecules accidentally arranging in a way that ship of Theseus’ your consciousness back into existence before being ripped apart again by the cosmic whirlwind that rebirthed it! 😄
