The way Pennywise let Derry be built on top of something he couldn't escape, so he could feed, is totally awesome; they're killing it with this series.
It telling Will "You'll burn too." is honestly horrifically evil...
“I hope this place doesn’t get trashed.” They don’t know about the Black Spot from the book. This season is not gonna end well and I’m not sure anyone is ready for it 😭
pennywise i highkey insane at setting up people to make it look like they were the ones who committed the crime
What pennywise did to marge was brutal
I just got why that happened to Marge cause they were watching about the snails or whatever’s eyes bulging so birds would eat them. Must’ve scared the crap out of her and IT was like yesssss perfect.
"Chicago aint nothing but Mississippi with tall buildings instead plantations " Sinners
Starting to realize that Muschietti is doing what they called a slow burn, and each episode gets scarier to invoke more and more fear as it progresses. This is exactly what Pennywise does to the children before he kills them.
You guys still don't seem to make the connection that Will is Mike's dad, so Will's dad is once again the grandpa we see in the movies. "You'll burn too" is them forshadowing that Will is gonna burn when he's grown up.
