Film Theory: Is PENNYWISE In A Wrinkle In Time? (Stephen King Connected Universe Theory) 

The real question is: does this make pennywise a Disney princess?

Are we just going to not talk about him pointing at Stan when he says bill

His description of a wrinkle in time was better than the actual movie

Film Theory: Stephan King Actually writes A Wrinkle in Time Fan Fiction.

Bill Denbrough the leader *Points at Stanley*

and they used something called a tesseract- Loki wants to know your location

matpat: "Pennywise = Pure Evil Energy" me: haha it spells pee

"bill denbrough" *arrow pointing to stan*

MatPat: "A story that we've all read between the grades 4 and 7." Me: "I have NEVER heard of this book."

Morgan freeman should be the turlte

*points out that bill denbrough recites his stuttering line thing* *points to wyatt/stan*

MatPat: Bill Denbrough *points to Stanley* Bill: Am I a joke to you?

7:57 that’s Stan not bill

Matpat so what you're saying is: A Wrinkle in Time: "You can copy my homework but don't make it look obvious." Stephen King: *Makes IT*

I’m a junior in high school and I never even heard of “A Wrinkle in Time” until right now. :/

I made this prediction in class one time while we were watching the movie and everyone said my theory was stupid 😂😂

Quick question MatPat. How did you even get introduced to the idea that A Wrinkle In Time was connected to IT?

Every now and then, you see a Film Theory episode that makes you second guess whether or not it's April 1st.

Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" has a star turning into a human, so does Greek mythology. His "American Gods" series has something similar to time/space travel with the "behind the scenes" travel which takes place.

Didn’t IT come to eath millions of years before the events of both books?

FILM THEORY: *DID THIS NOVEL STEAL FROM THIS OTHER NOVEL* Just make a Literature Theory channel already, man.

What about the Beldam from Coraline being the same species as Pennywise!!

Mat, you do know that there’s something called a family kiss? While yes, not on the lips exactly, it still works. oh well this is from 2 yrs ago I doubt anybody will see this.

There was a Stephen king novel called ‘The Colorado Kid’ which was later adapted into a loosely based TV series called ‘Haven’. Haven is the name of a town also in main, and Derry is a town mentioned as a real place rather frequently. In this show, there are these afflictions creatively named ‘The Troubles’. The troubles were created by a woman who was from another universe. These troubles would cause people to have strange abilities, some of these include: Putting anyone you touch in extreme pain Not being able to feel anything Anything you touch turning to shreds (people included) Only being able to breathe underwater Controlling the weather Being a skin walker Telekenisis Reading minds Moving to fast for anyone to see you And more. These troubles when they were first created over a hundred years ago, would pass through generations of families. Something that’s significant is that emotional trauma is what brings them out. As punishment for creating these ‘Troubles’, the woman who created them was forced into a prison for 27 years, and when she returned to Haven she would have had her memory wiped and have the false memories of another woman given to her, and by the end of her stay there, she would have to return to her prison, and when she did, there would be a meteor shower called ‘The Hunter’ that only happened every 27 years when she went away and the Troubles would be temporarily gone and would come back 27 years later. I have a theory that Carrie could have had a Trouble. She had a series of traumatic events that brought it out, and she had a relative that had something similar, and there was something different about her genetically, like the people in Haven who had troubles. Same with the Shinning, it could be another trouble. I dunno if this theory is tru tho

7:23 Thats not Bill....that's Stan!

I think we need to take the time to actually appreciate how far matt goes just to make these theories. He would literally read 7 books just to make one theory, he would relearn subjects to calculate one equation all just to entertain us in his way. Good job matt

3:50 matpat:” the tesseract “ Me: “marvel is they you?!”

Gotta part company with the "humans-as-stars" point when it comes to The Dark Tower. Roland was only reciting a parable about the stars used as navigation tools in Roland's where/when. In A Wrinkle In Time, actual cosmic entities shared details of their lifetime. The similarity of concept is not confirmed.

YOU GET AN EXPLANATION YOU GET AN EXPLANATION YOU GET AN EXPLANATION EvERy BOdY GeTs aN EXpLAnATioN!!!!!

7:58 That’s not Bill, that’s Stanley

"Bill Denbrough, the stuttering leader of the-" Nice try, Stanley.

12:56 , I have never heard a more beautiful voice.

2018's biggest kids movie? miss me with that smh Incredibles 2 is where it's at

"Bill Denbrough" arrow points at Stan Uris

7:56 "Bill Denborough" You are pointing at stanley

7:53 Matpat:"Bill Denbrough is the leader of the Losers Also Matpat: *points to Wyatt Oleff, the dude that played Stanley Uris

Did anyone else noticed that Pennywise looks like Ronald Mcdonald's lost cousin?

whenever people talk about the king multiverse sometimes they leave out the dark tower or kind of leave it as an afterthought or a supportive story, which doesn’t really make sense to me because the dark tower (both the books and the actual tower in them) is the connection point between every world, including every other king book

In my opinion, this would have been more believable if Matpat had drawn parallels between the Dark one and The Crimson king, who, as the ultimate evil of Stephen King's universe would have fit more. And if not him, I'd still say Randall Flagg would be a more fitting choice.

im gonna be the only one to say it, but mat the fact that you are taking your time in all your theories makes me want to do a theory on you about why you are making theories.

IT is made of P.E.E (Pure.Evil.Energy)

Matt's theories are always out of this world but makes so much sense to me....i love it haha

The bad guy in a wrinkle in Time reminds me of the mind flayer

i think the best part of this video is 7:52 when matt talks about bill denbrough but points at a picture of the actor who plays stanley

Tesseract... Loki? Thor? Avengers? No? Ok.

That's it! MatPat's a couple nuts short of a fruitcake. I am NOT buying it.

He might want to lose the ability to see his sister's thoughts now that she has a boyfriend

YOur character animation's getting a lot better. Keep it up, my man.

( 7:52 ) **Says Bill** **points to stan**

Me: ʜᴇᴀʀs ᴛᴇssᴇʀᴀᴄᴛ Me: THATS IT! ᏆᎢ IS IN THE WRINKLE IN TIME AND THANOS IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER FORM OF ᏆᎢ PEACE OUT

0:16, WHOA WHOA WHOA HOLD THE PHONE!!! THATS DUTCH ON THE ‘A Wrinkle In Time’ on the bottom: *8 maart in de bioscoop=8 march in the cinema*

It's amazing how authors get inspiration from other authors.

7:53 that’s not Bill... that’s Stan...

Nice theory but... WHERE IS THE RON IS VOLDEMORT THEORY????

I was actually seriously concerned for MatPat's health until I saw how old this was and realized he wasn't dead, because I was wondering if he was running a heavy fever when it was made. Most of the connections are very common story tropes, the bit about the "people becoming stars" is only literal in Wrinkle In Time... in Dark Tower it's a myth, and because that world is a twinner for a version of the 'real' world it's basically based on the whole 'people becoming constellations thing' (heck, one of the names is a mangling of Cassiopeia, a real world constellation), which is about as old as surviving fiction itself. Saying it means people literally turn into stars in both worlds is like insisting Slenderman is real in ours because there are myths. And he straight up describes tesseracts and todash space as being two VERY different methods for crossing long distances (one bypasses by warping space time so you aren't crossing ANY other space, the other is essentially making a shortcut through Cthulhu's back yard) and then says they're the same. That's like saying X-Men's Magik going through Limbo to teleport is identical to the Star Trek teleporter. There are no valid similarities here. Look, I even liked and saw valid points in the Sans/Ness theory, but this one... I think this was the first Game Theory ep I ever had to downvote.

I know this vid has been out for a bit but I also wanted to point out the Dean Koontz used the same time freeze mechanic in Lightning. No matter how long a person stayed in another time only 5 minutes would pass in their native time. I always thought that was an interesting concept but never realized it had been used so many times...I have never read or seen Wrinkle in Time.

You’ve probably read this comment already but at 7:59 it pointed to Wyatt who played Stan not Bill :/

at the begining:wtf after the video: All hail the mighty Matpat Why does this have so many likes ????

7:50 Matpat: *Points at bill* Me:That's not bill.... He wasn't even in the picture!

Great job MatPat, you uncovered one of the worlds best kept secrets. Authors steal ideas from each other and fit it into "their" work!

"Hopefully he loses that ability when his sister hits puberty" The book has sequels you know. And spoilers, he doesn't.

And here I thought a wrinkle in time could be related to doctor strange

To be honest pennywise could be almost every movie villain considering he can shape shift and travel through universes

The first thing that came into my mind when he started referring power of love was Elsa and Anna Anyone else??

I was gonna say matpat lost his marbles But damn

MatPat what's your MBTI? I'm doing an in-depth study of theorizations and RU-vid channels

You really have to love that film theory theme song

I like the subtle Stephen King reference in the Jake Epping comment. Well played MatPat

7:53 Oh MatPat, that's not Bill. That's Stan.

I'm lost in time... if anyone can spare a penny and guide me to the nearest natural wrinkle that'd be nice...

Despite all the dislikes you have you continue to blow my mind with all these theories, continue to make videos and blow people's mind you really are a geniuse. I hope you read this and it makes your day.

"Meg gets Charles out of his catatonia state, not by kissing him cause they're brother and sister, but by her telling him how much she loves him" Me: so family not allowed to kiss each other on the forehead or on the cheek anymore??????

7:58 that’s not bill that’s Stan

“That’s exactly what BILL uses...” Points to Stan-

Man I love your theories

I’ve read the book before I saw the movie in theaters. My aunt got me the whole series and because the movie was based on the first book I tried to at least finish the first book. I did and I LOVED it. The movie was amazing, but I was let down a little. They left out sooo many good parts. I started to read the second book but got kinda bored so I started reading a different book. I tried to go back to it but couldn’t. If you also read the book please like this comment. Matt Pat, I love you videos, they are AMAZING. Keep up the AMAZING work. If you can please respond it would mean so much to me. I’m one of your biggest fans. I wish everyone an amazing day, afternoon, evening, or/and night. Have a FANTASTIC second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, life. (P.S. if I spelled your name wrong I’m so sorry I haven’t made a comment on your video including you name.)

Hey matpat I have a theory for you! Are the food stunts in “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” actually plausible? I’ve posted this theory on you’re “Bee Movie” and “The Incredibles” videos and they’re going to be more detailed than this one. But to sum them up: Flint and the villagers pull off some impossible stunts throughout the film like using BREAD AS A BOAT last time I check bread gets soggy in a snap, grilled cheese form of not. And that based on their geographic location on the globe, creating an ice cream snow day on an island near the equator would lead to a melty soupy ice cream mess. One commenter on my theory/question also mentioned that all this food would cause destruction to the environment. I’m sure that fish aren’t too fond of Ben & Jerry’s Neapolitan ice cream entering their waters. The major builds a dam to hold the leftover food but wouldn’t it smell and how would you clean up melted ice cream? Please like so he can see this.

*i’m getting very comfortable with that shrugging guy*

I say it all the time and I still back it , matpats editors are the best 😂😂

I love how when he was talking about Bill the arrow pointed to Stan

Here’s another similarity between the two books in the novel A Wrinkle In Time IT Refers to itself as “The Happiest Sadist” that sure seems to mirror the personality of Pennywise The Dancing Clown flawlessly.

I love that Matt pointed at Wyatt and was like, OMG ITS BILL

No wonder they call their record time because it's a wrinkle between Pennywise and their dimension

this really makes me want to watch and read stephen king's works

To be fair, like every movie ends with an act of love.

When he pointed to the wrong actor I started laughing so hard. Like dude, you do mathematics, research on the dark web but you can't look up what kid plays Bill?!😂

4:20, I just remembered the name of the thing on the planet, and I can not believe I was surprised by this theory at first

The Ritual of Chud was much more disturbing than you described. It still haunts my nightmares.

*_Am I the only one TRIGGERED that they had Pennywise hold a BLUE balloon the entire video?_*

IS PENNYWISE NESS???

NGL A Wrinkle in Time feels like an acid trip

I like it when he says “If you watched my other theory...” like no I have not been watching these theory’s for a solid three hours

do a coraline theory

Do a Coraline theory! One of my favorite movies :). Great video by the way.

When you were talking about stars, I was remembering the chronicles of narnia.

Ok, After seeing Mat do the Oprah you get a explanation, I saw we all start demanding that netflix give him a show. LETS GET A FILM THEORY SHOW!

"bill denburough," * pulls up picture and points to Wyatt Oleff who plays Stanly Uris* Me: What? are you drunk or somthing?

“That’s a pretty unique concept. Stars that take human form and vice versa.” Is it really such a unique concept? It not only happened in the stories you mentioned, but I also remember it in The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Titan’s Curse. Not to mention The Blue Fairy in Pinnochio.

I like the idea of using someone else’s universe. Especially if they have permission, the universe is abandoned, or original author is deceased.

But a wrinkle in time has sequels.... they just weren’t made into movies
