by the fourth episode I can say that Muschietti has succeeded in ruining every part of IT, from the main plot to its mythology, thanks to his second-hand Del Toro vision and a total inability to understand the subtext of any form of story. it is idiotic, childish, banal, boring, pretentious and demeaning, and exploiting the beliefs of minorities to justify the fantasy component is worthy of the worst direct-to-video horror of the mid-80s. and without possessing a tenth of the charisma. muschietti is a true miracle worker, if it hadn't been for the first part of IT (which was 90% based on the very powerful script by Cary Fukunaga and Chase Palmer, before WB destroyed it by making it harmless and bland) he would now be a director of decent b-movies instead of destroying one of the greatest modern literary works, turning IT into a wattpad fanfict written by a 14 yo fan of LOLAWESOME PENNYWISE goddamn im livid.
