Film Theory: How Pennywise BEAT Pennywise (IT Chapter 2)

Subscribe to not miss a Film Theory! ► bit.ly/1dI8VBH
In honor of Halloween, we are returning to our favorite space alien and supernatural creature, Pennywise the clown from IT. Today we are focusing specifically on IT Chapter 2 and the Ritual of Chüd. I've seen people cover a lot of the details in this movie but there is something I think EVERYONE missed! You see, the Losers did not defeat Pennywise. The creepy clown HIMSELF ensured his own demise, and I'm about to tell you how!

In the end of the first movie when they almost defeated “It”, that was because they were not scared anymore, and when bill almost hits him he goes further down in the “hole” (or whatever it was) and “It”’s last words are ‘fear’ because it is the first time he feels fear. In the second movie the ritual doesn’t work for maybe the reason that “It” is bigger than ever and the ritual doesn’t work when he’s that big. When they defeat “It” they’re not just saying mean things, they are showing “It” that they are not scared of him. “Your just a clown” is what they say to him to show that he’s just a clown and nothing scary.

There was no closet gays in that era

[@ur.localdumbass]

I have a theory, in the ritual of chud they all were meant to give items that represented things that meant the most to them eddies inhaler represented his fear of his wellbeing being compromised, geogies boat represented his guilt from his brothers death etc...However richies item was a arcade token which sure he wen't to the arcade alot but it wasnt truly the thing that represented his struggle, I mean it could be argued that it was due to the memory of the arcade where he was made fun of and called a slur, but his true fear of his sexuality started with his love for eddie before the arcade scene and before any of it so after eddie died, it made up for missing item because eddie was his token, so after pennywise killed him, they simply won

I think if Richie has just told Eddie how he felt he would’ve overcome his fear and in that sense Eddie wouldn’t need to die

[@smirkfanta5535]

But the token still needs to be destroyed anyway... Meaning Eddie had to die either way

[@safetystephen]

@@smirkfanta5535 it would have been a diffrent trauma then...if he has no trauma connected to him liking him then the token would have no purpose...so either find some other kind of trauma orrrrrr all of them die anyways Sorry if I get things wrong I haven't watched the movie in suuuuper long

[@owo6894]

I’m here for this theory- Imma cry-

[@robynwilson9227]

They’re gay, they’ll never deserve better, not in Hollywood’s eyes. “Bury your gays” is literally a trope. Gay characters are more likely to die or suffer. LGBT characters make up a MICROSCOPIC number of on screen characters yet account for an average 10% of character deaths on screen. Supernatural, The 100, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Emmerdale, Arrow, Star Trek, Victoria, The Vampire Diaries, Degrassi. That’s just a HANDFUL of tv shows that kill off the gay characters or their LI’s. Often for no good reason. Some kill off multiple (The Vampire Diaries kills 4 off ffs, Doctor Who has 10). And I didn’t even touch tv, cartoons, anime, books and video games. Just google “bury your gays” and you’ll see how big of an issue this actually is. Oftentimes the gays killed off are the only gay characters in the show. But more relevant to Eddie is a sub-category of this trope: in which a gay characters love interest will be killed off so Hollywood can avoid having to show the gays. It’s so they can cowardly dodge backlash from homophobes and claim they have a gay character still. The gay character will thus remain single, and then they can ignore having to actually show an LGBT relationship and just kill of the love interest and have the character stay single out of “heartbreak” or whatever and have some meaningless emotional suffering on the gay character. This trope is usually referred to as “Gayngst” or “Make the gay miserable”. Honestly they deserved better. All gay characters in media deserve better.

When Richie gets stuck in ITs true form I think the rest is his POV since it’s his fear of losing someone he loves since in the books and maybe the movies he always calls Eddie “Eds” “Eddie spaghetti” “cutie” so maybe he had a crush on him since he did write Eddie and his own first letter of their name on the kissing bridge and the actor who plays older Richie said on an interview that Richie’s first love interest was indeed Eddie Kaspbrak...
