Film Theory: IT - Pennywise's Greatest Fear (IT Movie 2017) 

12:49 Pennywise: I have a Doctor Who part three theory down here Entire Film Theory fanbase: *dives in and is never seen again*

Sakura-chan The missing piece.

Pennywise: We have all sorts of future movies and theories down here. Film Theory Fanbase: **They jump in all at once, sealing the gap. Until the cops come and something is done about the weird clown that is presumed to be a child murderer and pedophile.**

Ethan Davide ya, sounds like him

Ethan Davide Hahahahahhha

My dads friend is like tf they bullied him when we watched the movie

(Spoiler) Poor dude...got roasted to death

stick pixels The ending was so weird, I got so annoyed how they called him a clown and he died, really anti climatic

“You big ol bitch ass hoe ass big ass eighthead no hairline havin ass did ya makeup in the dark on a bumpy train ride in the face ass dirty stanky ass hot breath ass boo boo the fool in the face ass nyyuuuuguhhhh THEFUCK you thought you was doing?” Pennywise: (is crying) Pennywise : (leaves cause he know he bout ta catch hands)*

I was so mad that all they had to do WAS VERBALLY ABUSE HIM

Lol

It suddenly works then because he'd just killed Eddie. In that moment, they stop fearing him. They *hate* him. And with the loss of their fear, he starves.

I’d really like to see how long he’d last in the hood or a COD lobby

@@Linator4 about 3 seconds max

It’s because of the ritual and the last token was eddie so when he killed him the last token was destroyed properly

😆

Hehehe

Holy shit HAHAHHAHAHA

His editor did, but yeah pretty insane

F.B.I Owo

Wowww

Omg idk

This made me laugh harder than I thought it would make me.

steve smith, that's. Hilarious. I don't usually laugh at comments until I saw this one. 👏. 👏. 👏.

Thanks!

But stephen king doesn't make movies he writes books.

true, but I like to think that he helps in making them in a way

Confirmed in The Dark Tower series.

So cool!

I've seen this theory before. Seems to hold up.

It’s incredible about how Stephen kings universe is all connected

Holy crap, Stephen King is on to something

Me too.

Is that what Pennywise does on his off years? Goes to Colorado for the winter.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the King universe is pretty much "certain places attract powerful positive and negative energies" - I think it says as much pretty explicitly in the book where the character goes back in time to save JFK, in which it has a little reference to the events of the book IT. Edit for clarification: Essentially, yes, pennywise is a manifestation of these negative energies in much the same way as the hotel is!

@@macias7125 it has Q in it there’s no way that’s not a rickroll

When you watch theories years after the release date

I have seen that movie after reading the book their both great 👍

If only it went full ham on being a sequel to the book instead of a half and half with the ending being nothing but fan service. Good none the less though.

It’s no not a sequel same world

@@lswan6389 are you saying Doctor Sleep isn't a sequel? Because the main character is the kid from the Shining. Like thats the main conflict, is his return to the hotel.

Yess

Ft good name matpat

Do a video about avatar

U are so funny iwish i could hear you do funny jokes all day. Big titted dumb ass

Pennywise:And spider Man is still in the marvel universe. Me: follows.

But a shapeshifter could turn into anything which includes wendigos, it could have shapeshift into a wendigo

Considering that's not how wendigo's work in thier native lore, more likely to be the shape-shifting evil

So people get the shining from trauma, maybe places and animals can get shining from trauma too?

MatPat being a adio book reader actually sounds like something like he'd do

MEEE

Hey dad, are you coming back from the store soon?

Haha They’re Dank *sad English brain thinks about dank meaning wet* HahahhahahahahhA... Sewers...

+A Hopetale How you get wet from dank? I think of beer and drunkness seeing as most pubs I go to have dank signs

I’m. A Dad

Bread ON Toast64125 If you see a clown in a sewer drain, call 911, they may be stuck and might need help.

Gachalife Girl if you run Into a clown in the sewer you don't call 911 you jump in to see if anyone else got stuck

But theorizing is hard

I heard memes and puns,dat ClownPat soul is mine-

That part was actually kinda creepy😂

I know it is crazy

That proved his theory right, all of the books and movies are connected by It

I thought it was just like an Easter egg or something 😂😂

Wait where

@@thegamingking3907 in IT part 2

That was funny I surprised u were the only one that is as that said something about that

he's the kings' jester, and the king be it youtube.

Let’s just call it Shade lol Like Dark side of the force 😂

@@BuckyRay true

Yes actually, in "The Dark Tower" it confirms that Carrie is Shinning but its thrown out of control due to the amount of mental strain put on her by almost everyone around her

Ikr XD

NUNI

wow

Sophia Gruidl it Is

I was for thinking the same thing

A nice

I mean, I get the joke, but dead bodies float.

Stop matpat is amazing. To be honest you may have a very different perspective on this but there is no need to say that

Same.

FOX NATION GAMING Git mi da fwack in dere.

FOX NATION GAMING Lol

FOX NATION GAMING Not be those jackass but just saying its *balloon to make the comment better😁

Mystic Zebra you forgot about the other o

Mystic Zebra actually its balloon* just correcting😊

I was waiting for someone to point this out, in the story the shining is very much used and the idea of going to different worlds using the shine just supports this theory even more.

You mean consulting detective

And hello to you Vader or should I say.... ANAKIN SKYWALKER

@@urmomsfavenby8920 It's really obvious

Lol true

Scotty C nooooope matpat

It's called the dark tower

Cardi B From Target xxx

cak01vej hcshin

They ARE tied together. In the Dark Tower series, the antagonist's goal is to destroy The Tower that connects the multiple universes together and rule over the resulting chaos.

I don't think it's the Dark Tower or let me rephrase I don't think it's just the Dark Tower I think the Derry Maine connection has to be made before all of the stories AR brought together

Yesssssssssss

Please can we i would by it

oh my god that would be amazing

Yes i need one

In deed

Genji _343 one of the greatest scenes in cinema

James McGuinness I’m glad you agree

Genji _343 Don’t agree pennywise should have showd up while Georgie lays dead on the ground

The way they left it for just long enough to have an “oh shit that was Georgie” moment is genius

Genji _343 Yes.

TheLibermania undertale

i caught that too, seeing that font filled me with determination.

@@caylaweinberg2327 no shit

You know when Mike gets his power he should've played hopes and dreams

@@thesadinsomniac why did you say rip, its only around 999 years until delta rune chapter 2

I know it's crazy

Actually his editor did

Good

Actually, at the time of this video the actors were already kinda confirmed

Ikr

He also shines

He predicted the exact same actor who would play Bill in It Chapter 2

I KNOW WTF

No. Nothing about that is ironic by any definition.

That’s excellent. And probably not even deliberate.

@@ghoulishgam3r508 It's ironic if McAvoy was hired for his acting talent and not the fact he played a crippled psychic and will be portraying another psychic character.

@@Brutalyte616 you need to look up the definition of irony, bud. Coincidence doesn't equal irony.

@@ghoulishgam3r508 Have you ever heard of dramatic irony? It's a literary technique demonstrated by expressing a scenario in such a way that the audience is made aware of it but the characters are left none the wiser, often to comedic effect as a result of some form of tonal dissonance creating a contradiction of expectation; Red Riding Hood going to see her grandmother after the audience has been told that the wolf has already eaten her and is lying in ambush for the young girl would be an example of dramatic irony, as would be the concept of a character jinxing themselves by speaking a negative outcome aloud, only for it to become reality shortly thereafter. The application of this literary concept to real life has lead to coincidence being associated with irony for _hundreds of years_ as the concept of hindsight or a more knowledgeable party takes the role usually played by the limited omniscient audience of a story, thus bypassing the usual technical restriction on what constitutes irony. Case in point, one definition of irony is "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." In this case, if someone did not associate McAvoy with his role as Professor X, then the resulting revelation that he is playing another psychic character in It would constitute as irony. So what were you saying about looking up how the definitions of irony and coincidence do not intersect like a graph?

Noticed

I almost made a sarcastic, sorta rude joke here about misspelling his name, but that seemed unnecessary - it could very well have been an autocorrect mishap or just an honest misremembering, and no one really deserves being roasted over that. So just to let you know, his name is Stephen King.

Stephen*

Stephen King*

Stephen**

No, no he didn't.

Adult neglect is a running theme in Derry. Literally no one cares about those kids.

And it was the 1950's, it was a different time as well.

My cousin and I laughed every time someone got hurt ...

girl it was the 80s. people back then hitchhiked and seriously thought it was a good idea to get into a strangers car

yeah, and then they all acted surprised when people actually got killed

The kids in It actually picked their adult counterparts, and the casting of the adult actors was released around the time It was in theaters.

Eskimo Gioia so you’re telling me the one kid wanted the old spice guy as their adult counterpart? Can’t blame him.

same

Are you horrified?

Emmy in the Stephen king universe, the turtle is a celestial being that is stronger than it (for some reason)

@@JorgePerez-zh8io basically the turtle is the opposite of pennywise in a way that they were shown as the good and evil gods

Turtles are f*cking terrifying

The Turtle barfed out the universe, (I'm pretty sure) so it makes sense that it can defeat a being such as Pennywise. The Turtle is extremely large as well, but that doesn't really matter since It can shapeshift. Also, is anyone mad that MatPat didn't talk about The Dark Tower once?

Thatrandomguy lol lol lol 😂😂

I don't know tell me that random guy!

Epic Yoongles mood

Mocha Tapioca if everyone is saying you’ll float too, than who is floating first? I say this because I haven’t watched the movies nor read any of the books...is that a bad thing? Also to be funny, that’s another reason.

Mocha Tapioca I'm probably faster the pennywise

Mocha Tapioca the plot is they survive

Mocha Tapioca. Ok now that was good

I have a gun

Moe Naomi don't worry your not the only one.

Same!!!

Moe Naomi its ok

Sup?

let sam and dean deal with It

Bren Huckabaa One of my kind has appeared.

(Pulls up in an Impala) Did somebody say Supernatural?

Bren Huckabaa lol yes

Hello i miss Cas ;n; that's all i have to say

It's actually 27 and 1 day

the dark tower movie was pretty bad for a theory like this because it didn't really follow the books, But in the books penny-wise is obviously a demon. A malevolent psychic force that uses the fear of others to sustain itself. Witch is why the ritual of chude need someone with a powerful shine to work it.

It wasn't trying to follow the books, it wasn't an adaption of them, but rather the continuation. This was supposed to be showing Roalnd's last cycle through the Wheel of Ka But yeah.... how could you bring up the whole universe and how connected it was, and not bring up the Dark Tower?

HybridAxle Gaming their is also a reference to Pennywise too

The movie was a sequel to the books.

LIkely because DT is a big can of worms to open for one theory video. But I have serious doubts the movie was a "sequel" to the books as passionate readers would understand it. The only notable alteration in Roland's past was that his father was killed by the Man in Black rather than John Farson's army. But for some reason, this flashback radically changes his motivation from one of obsession over the Tower to one of revenge. Now one might argue that such an alteration might affect Roland to such a degree that he forgoes his quest to reach the tower, but to which I would counter "Why was he never fixated on revenge against John Farson?" I think the writers were simply being lazy and insinuated an excuse for such.

IT was just a dumb predator who didn't know how to properly feed. Could have been having it's kicks out of any emotion if it were as smart as Dandelo.

That's a good point, but Ben, and Eddie both encounter IT on their own, in the books too, and they get away and they're definitely afraid. I like the Shine idea.

It's downfall is that it likes playing with his food too much. It could have easily offed the kids one by one on each time one of them encounters It, but that wouldn't provide him with much of a meal. So he teases and terrifies them, getting little tastes of their fear before he goes in for the kill. It's a bit of a cat'n'mouse game. Like I said, the Shine theory certainly does have it's merits so I wasn't trying to shoot it out of the sky...but again: It actually does specify that it prefers its meals as terrified as possible. If the kids are all a bunch of Shiners, I'd imagine an extradimensional being such as It would be clued into this...or at the very least know that there's "something" preventing him from killing them. Considering his a predator, he'd move on to other prey if there was some cosmological force that prevented him killing the kids. Quite simply: It dragged the game out for too long, allowing the fear to become anger which fueled the courage of the kids. They were no longer afraid of It, but rather pissed off and out for vengeance. This change happens when they realize that Its primary goal was to scare them, because their fear was what gave It strength. Get rid of that fear and you get rid of Its power.

Fair point, well said.

Not being afraid wouldn't give the kids the ability to psychically communicate or send power to Mike. After all it isn't untill the very end of the movie where they learn not being afraid helps, all the other time were *seemingly* luck

If you read the dark tower series by stephen king it basically confirms this theory and the point about carrie having the shine. Hers just got out of control due to her circumstances.

@@lessaokkerse9047 Whenever I think of The Dark Tower, the only thing that comes to my mind is Barad-dûr.

@@octaviusroosevelt7355 I respect and like you for that

Wait wouldn't it mean that henry bowers would have the shinning because he was abused by his father

@@munozperez2202 Or he could be another form of IT himself given that he seems to be a bigger threat when the kids are trying to fight against it, and that he draws fear from them.

So immature...

Phanic! At the disco omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂

XD

Sophia Renee Thanks for writing this comment so I didn't have to. :)

We know that the clown is not IT's true form he only uses at form to more easily lure kids into traps

In other words the real Baddie is the one and only Randall Flagg

The dark tower also calls telepathic ability shining and he totally skipped over that.

*insert final form joke here*

Q'squad Is it before or after the boku no pico theory?

The Film Theorists Hello Faker :>

Screw that, what about doctor ho part 3?

Idan Zadok I'd prefer Doctor Who, but Doctor Ho is cool too.

Q'squad *Laughing* He hasn't done Doctor Who P3 yet. That's not entirely true, then.

i was thinking the same thing when i heard it in theaters i was like matpat better make a vid where he says it confirms it

also richie is a closeted gay and is abused for it by henry

That sounds more like an Easter egg than a legitimate connection, but it still sounds promising

LOGIC I was going to say this

I think that's more of a reference than proof that they connect to The Shining

You'll fear our eyes too! I know what he's actually saying, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't heard this as well.

No. *Okay fine I will*

I will
