On the bright side, Rich is actually resting in peace instead of floating forever with IT
A knight died burying his pirate treasure…
When you're about to go to sleep for the next 27 years in prison and then all of the sudden the cell door just cracks open 😂
Bob Gray/OG Pennywise is NOT “IT”. “IT” killed him and shapeshifts as Pennywise to lure kids. How is this so hard to understand?
Her dad doesn’t become anything he’s dead It just imitates him
I feel like you still doesn't understand the whole Pennywise situation, which is kinda wild to me. IT didn't possess him. IT is an entity that takes on forms. IT took the form of a kid and lured him into the forrest, ate him and took his form. It's not like it's the same body.
We may have lost a true friend. But heaven has gained a knight⚔️
Didn't think I could've been more disturbed and emotionally wrecked in just one episode, but goddamn 😢
I'm so glad they didn't just brush past Rich's death. They let you feel what they feel and it hits hard in a beautifully sad way. This is why some stories need to be mini series instead of rushed movies.
It wasn’t just Rich’s death it was the entire scene. For some of us it actually hits kinda close to home. Hard watching a reenactment of things that actually happened to people. The fact they didn’t care there was kids in there lets you know what extremists really feel😢😢😢
