Stephen Kings 1963 ties many things of Kings universe together.

[@darkashtar]

If you want to really see the depth of the King Universe you should read the Dark Tower, his Magnum Opus. If you're reading the series for the first time read them pretty much in order except you can read The Wind through the Keyhole between books 4 and 5. They are great books definitely worth reading. Though being unfamiliar with a lot of King's works you will miss out on stuff. One publisher actually when they list his list of other works places books associated with The Dark Tower in bold.

[@darkashtar]

@Long duk dong while a lot do take place in the same universe and area, multiverse might be more apt because some are more like alternate universes all connected to the dark tower at the center of his multiverse. I go with that because you have a few books with world changing events that prevent them from being in the same universe like The Stand and Cell. But the Marvel comparison is more apt with the comics and its own multiverse.

In the novel, It is an eternal entity that can shape shift and change forms. After arriving on Earth, It would sleep for approximately 27 to 30 years at a time, then awaken to wreak chaos and feed (primarily on children's fear). It is able to take many more forms than the film adaptations depict, including werewolves, bats, leeches, and sharks. It could embody any of a child's worst fears. It apparently originated in a void containing and surrounding the Universe-a place referred to in the novel as the "Macroverse" (a concept similar to the later established "Todash Darkness" of the Dark Tower novels). At several points in the novel, It claims its true name is "Bob Gray", and is named "It" by the group of children who later confront it. Throughout the book, It is generally referred to as male; however, late in the book, the children come to believe It may be female (due to It's manifestation as a large female spider). In addition, upon seeing its true form Audra Denbrough thinks, "Oh dear Jesus, It is female." Despite this, the true form of It is never truly known. The final physical form It takes is that of an enormous spider, but this is the closest the human mind can understand. It's actual form is not precisely what the children actually see. Instead, the natural form of It exists in an inter-dimensional realm referred to by It as the "deadlights". Bill Denbrough comes dangerously close to seeing the deadlights, but successfully defeats It before this happens. The deadlights are never seen, and their true form outside the physical realm is never revealed, only described as writhing, destroying orange lights. Coming face to face with the deadlights drives any living being instantly insane (a common Lovecraftian device). The only known people to face the deadlights and survive are Bill's wife, Audra Phillips, and Beverly Marsh, although they are rendered catatonic by the experience. It's natural enemy is the "Turtle" or "Maturin", another ancient dweller of King's "Macroverse" who, eons ago, created our universe and possibly others. The Turtle shows up again in King's series The Dark Tower. The book suggests that It, along with the Turtle, are themselves creations of a separate, omnipotent creator referred to as "the Other". The Turtle and It are eternal enemies (creation versus consumption). It may, in fact, be either a "twinner" of, or the actual one of the six greater demon elementals mentioned by Mia in The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah, as the Spider is not one of the Beam Guardians. It arrived in our world during prehistoric times in a massive, cataclysmic event similar to an asteroid impact, in the place that would, in time, become Derry, Maine. Throughout the novel It, some events are described through It's point of view, through which It describes itself as the "superior" being, with the Turtle as someone "close to his superiority" and humans as mere "toys". It explains it prefers to kill and devour children, not by nature, but rather because children's fears are easier to interpret in a physical form and thus children are easier to fill with terror. It says this is akin to "salting the meat." Both It's awakening and its return to hibernation mark the greatest instances of violence during its time awake. In one example, It caused the disappearence of over three hundred settlers from Derry Township in 1740-43. In 1957, It awoke during a great storm which flooded part of the city, whereupon It went on a feeding spree, starting by murdering Bill's brother, Georgie Denbrough. However, the children forced It to return to an early hibernation when it was heavily wounded by Bill in the first Ritual of Chüd. It is continually surprised by the children's victories over It, and near the end, It begins to question if It is not as superior as It had once thought. However, It never feels that the individual children are strong enough to defeat It, only through "the Other" working through them as a group. It is finally destroyed in the second Ritual of Chüd, and an enormous storm damages the downtown part of Derry to symbolize It's death. In the novel Dreamcatcher, when Mr. Gray tries to put a worm in Derry's water by use of the standpipe, It is no longer there due to the 1985 flood. In its place is a memorial featuring a cast-bronze of two children and a plaque underneath, dedicated to the victims of the 1985 flood and of It. The plaque has been vandalized with graffiti reading, "PENNYWISE LIVES".

[@gaialanzer81]

Absence of fear was only It's weakness in the movie. In the book (and somewhat in the mini-series), it was more that It's strength in manifesting based on it's prey's imagination and fear locked it into a form that where it took on the same weakness of that form. Example would be the werewolf, which the kids thought silver would hurt (because silver kills werewolves). Turns out it did, because as soon as It chose that form, it was bound to that form's "rules" and while the silver didn't kill It, it hurt it badly. This is also true regarding Richie's sneezing powder, which did a number on It BECAUSE Richie put his faith into it working like that. The kids' imagination and belief was actually the key to fighting It, more so than lack of fear. In the novel, as kids and adults, I don't think there is a portion where ANY of them lack fear, but they carry on THROUGH the fear and fight back regardless of that. Actually, I think there was a bit of the "imagination power/power of belief" in the movie, but they didn't go more into it. Remember when Bill grabbed Mike's empty bolt gun, but didn't know it was empty. His belief that it had a bolt in it actually lead to a hole in Pennywise's head. That's in line with what was happening in the novel.

[@bomber101581]

Frank Bautista Makes me think that King places a high value on belief over “fact”, that faith in myth is more powerful than faith in the material world. Interesting stuff.

[@gadielgonzalez2755]

It actually went more in depth in it chapter 2

[@professorhazard]

@@bomber101581 It's also a general concept that when something exists outside of time and space, its strengths and weaknesses hinge on concepts, not the physical realm. Things like IT are so far beyond mortal that it's basically only conscious validation that allows them to exist. Evil ones especially don't seem to believe in themselves, so they are easily defeated by others controlling their perception. Maturin on the other hand is probably self-aware and introspective enough that it can exist as a self-sustaining concept without the belief of others affecting it.

Finally the geth, especially Legion, who became an individual when its many AI programs combined. I suppose even the batarians would be interesting because of their social structure.

The woman turned away from seeing Georgie lying in the road with his head in a storm drain in a downpour. 3.

[@cthulhutentacles4994]

Trevor Wiwchar that had to do more with the belief of the children, like when Stan repelled it by saying the names of the birds in his book

[@BeRadMH]

It has more to do with the belief and will of the person opposing It and less to do with the form. The silver bullet works because seeing a werewolf, they believe that silver bullets will kill it.

[@BeRadMH]

@Ain't nobody Got time for that yes, she.

[@BeRadMH]

@Fractalwizard 710 the clown is one of many forms, and Bill Skarsgard just plays that portrayal. Later in the book, IT is described as being female (and pregnant). Although, Its true form likely has no real gender as it's a cosmic being.

The dynamics of "It" is unfathomable. I had no idea.

Before he eventually got clean, King was a habitual coke user.

7:23 I remember watching the remake with my dad and I could help but shout they do they do all float down there!!!

[@brownwindedangel]

5:37 on the shapeshifting part you forgot to mention about how Pennywise's shapeshifting can be used against him. As he shifts into a certain form he gains that forms weaknesses. While It can't be killed by these forms weaknesses it can be fought off if someone is in a position to exploit that forms weakness like a Vampires weakness to sunlight. On top of what you mentioned about the Serial killer Pennywise chooses the form of a monster clown because it has no Kryptonite. Also Pennywise can be locked into a certain form if enough people choose to perceive him that way and this form is further weakened if those same people choose to believe it has a certain weakness, it's why the kids in the novel and Mini series are able to take down Pennywise with an inhaler and a silver nugget shot from a slingshot. They're able to believe these things can hurt Pennywise so they do. Remember that part. "And this here is battery acid and it'll melt your face off!"

[@RAVENVROSE]

I love watching this video, love your work man. Pennywise is my favorite clown and horror icon, he's the inspiration for my creature known as Jack-O. I'm currently working on the horror story for him

[@GtheMVP]

Man, I love your stuff. Just watched the Terminator explanations, nerdgasmic. Subbed!

As much as I love King's work, does this means that he is the founder of the Flat Earther's Incorporated?

No, just that this channel used a picture from Terry Pratchett's Discworld without crediting it.

[@iPanicTheDigital]

Having loved the original and having loved Stephen King my whole life, I'm finally reading the book and (per usual) the movies/miniseries cant hold a CANDLE to how deep this book can get

[@AnteikuCafe]

I wish 1990 Pennywise and 2017 Pennywise had a fight to the death to see who will come out on top, tbh I think 2017 Pennywise has more advantages and is better in general

[@Chronicrealngga]

After Pennywise couldn’t scare children anymore he just shape shifted into the water bill

[@Rodeo_Wizard]

AN Excellent video! Well Done! Please do an explain on Donnie Darko, In the Mouth of Madness and on why the android David from Prometheus turned evil.

[@josephhernandez7466]

Awesome video!

[@davidspada4707]

Good job on this

[@jtktomb8598]

Nver saw the films or read the book, so this video was very iteresting, an unique take on cosmic horror ? oh, and do you review video games too ?

[@MissAmesha]

I honestly loved what Bill Skarsgård did with the character. Tim Curry did okay but the 2017 version was way better. This is honestly one of my favorite horror movies. I can't wait to see Chapter 2

[@silentone503]

Wtf? I was thinking ghost or demon not some celestial from another dimension lol

[@louiswilk839]

Great review!

[@widgren87]

Might I suggest another of Kings many villain's? If so I would recommend André Linoge the main antagonist of Stephen King's Storm of the Century. Anyway great video and best of luck with the next one, also that list of your's must be quite long by now :-)

Thank you for including the original movie with Tim Curry as well as the remake with Skarsgård.

[@Ankhakaru]

Pennywise never truly loses & later on in Stephen Kings books like Tommy knockers, watch tower series, & a few others alludes to all members in the "Losers club" all dying... ...it actually survives...

[@dewannabe8845]

Could Derry just be abandoned and no more deaths or maybe just nuke it idk

[@onthaticeburgess109]

Why don’t they just nuke the well and his house 🧐

[@denytheinevitable7966]

Smh nuke a universal being ain't really a good idea, Pennywise will still live.

[@Leviathan_669]

He’s a celestial being. It’s like trying to kill a god, the only way to do so is find a weakness with the help from another equal being.

[@otakon17]

IT has some kind of hold over Derry and the people that live there. Some kind of passivity that makes them ignore or tolerate the happenings there every 27 odd years.
