Never knew a giant turtle and elephants hold our Flat Earth.

The remake/reboot of IT is surely one of the few remake/reboot that are GOOD

"He thrust his fists against the post and still insists he sees the ghost"

“Hiya Georgie” the most memeable line in the movie

Actually scaring adults is easy... Just show them tax forms

Me: here hold this dog Penny wise: *kills dog* Johnwick: have you seen my dog?

The giant turtle is master ugway from kung fu panda

"Be true, be brave, stand. All the rest is darkness." Definitely one of my favorite quotes, ever.

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".

Bill Skarsgard has a lazy eye that already scares me but with the yellow contacts it's horror gold

5:01 "By looking into the lights, Beverly was essentially looking into another dimension, beyond the realm of human beings." So Beverly took a high dose of DMT

Ninja turtles : live in sewer Pennywise : live in sewer Pennyswises fear has to be turtles 3:04 the earth is flat 😮

Wish they showed more gore, would've made it more terrifying in my opinion. Though, it's been said there would be more in Chapter 2, so I'm pretty hyped for that.

The moment when you realize that Pennywise is just one of the Killer Clowns of Outer Space who got separated from his brothers.

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.

Fun Fact: There is no spider form. It has 6 legs

You lost me when you said a giant universal turtle shat out our universe

Phone rings Steven King: Who is it? Lovecraft: I want my cosmic horror entities back.

My fear is to see billions of dollars in front of me‼️

Flat earth society gonna go crazy for that turtle to prove their theory is correct🤔🤔🤔

'oh come on bucko' 1990 miniseries of it

I've been so excited for this episode. I'd like to see more videos on the aliens from *Mass Effect*

Just tell pennywise that you're afraid to pay bills and spend money since he uses your fears to scare you He'll ignore you

Tutorial how to end pennywise Pennywise : What are you afraid of? Me : Im afraid when you died Pennywise: *Dies* The end.

That scene in the beginning with Georgie breaks my heart every time. He reminds me so much of my little brother.

We all float down here, and you will float, too!!

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

it's interesting how before I read the Dark Tower series, was thinking every King story is individual. NO - every single different book is part of the same universe and many of them has a hidden links to another books or The very Dark Tower. It is just a Todash creature similar to Dandelo from the dark tower series. It feeds from FEAR, Dandelo from LAUGHTER

Penny wise: hello child 😈 Me: Uno reverse card

Ronald McDonald: *FINALLY, A WORTHY OPONENT. OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY*

i think stephen king was high..

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

Kid: Hey dad. There’s a funny looking clown outside. I’m going to see what he wants. Dad: Don’t tell your mother.

me:pshhhh i’m not scared of some clown penny wise appears* me:sprints

My older brother would make paper boats for me when ever it was raining. Dam bastard wanted me to be dead.

Pennywise is not invulnerable, when she changes forms, she can be damaged based on what the weaknesses of the form It chooses. I.E. If they shot the werewolf with silver bullets. Pennywise would take damage and possibly die. Just like how It was hurt with "battery acid" from the inhaler.

Love your video. Nicely done and easy to understand

Am I the only one who got two IT chapter 2 ads while watching this

I thought that the adult townspeople subconsciously knew that some kids would be taken, like throughout Derry’s history, some children were sacrificed to protect the rest of the town, and that’s why the following happened: 1. people forgot about the missing kids very quickly, like, they didn’t dwell on them because they didn’t want to acknowledge the evil in the town. 2. The woman turned away from seeing Georgie lying in the road with his head in a storm drain in a downpour. 3. The hypochondriac kid’s mum said she was trying to keep him safe indoors, like she knew something bad could happen; and 4. The painting of the woman holding a baby at the mouth of the well.

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

I still haven't watched either of the IT movies girlfriend is scared to death of clowns 😂 but the real thing that needs to be explained is how the hell to pronounce your name properly 🤣 is it like nee-at or your own little spin of saying no in Russian 😁

Maturin looks an awful lot like the Great A'tuin to me.

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!"

Stephen king created the universe and all its secrets

I always thought that even if you don't fear Pennywise, he can still hurt you, no matter the cause.

Your voice reminds me of Korg from Thor. I love it.

Pennywise: do you want your boat back Georgie: nah you can have it the end

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

First time I see a video talking about that dimension of the book! Good work

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...

Would have cool to include his weakness: Taking damage if you really believed something would cause him harm (at least to it's illusions).

My theory about the relationship between It and Derry is that It had two bodies. It's physical form, which needed to feed like any other living thing, hence why it kills, and, being an entity born outside of our universe, It had an extradimensional form that encompassed the whole of Derry. It would explain why It's influence was so limited, because It could only control the contents of It's body, i.e. Derry and it's residents. It also explains why people tend to forget or their memories go fuzzy when they leave the town, and why the town's killings were so isolated, It's body would be considered a field of extra dimensions that the human mind cannot truly comprehend nor maintain what it sees there. Like when Scott Lang went into the Quantum Realm and didnt remember anything. (Spoiler Alert) Also, it would explain the destruction that Derry faced when It was finally killed. When the physical body was destroyed, it also killed (at least part) of It's extra-dimensional body, which was reflected by the storm. While It was mostly dead, a part of It may have survived, or It's extra-dimensional body continued to exist in a decaying state, which is why, in 11/22/63, the memorial plaque was defaced with the graffito "Pennywise lives."

IT has one person that can kill it tho John wick

People who can fight pennywise 1.Joker 2.RonaldMcdonald 3.terminator 4.Dora 5.Thomas the train 6.pennywise (old one) 7.Animatronics 8.???? Tell me if there's more I left

Came upon your channel by accident. Love your vids, keep it up!

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 :-)

Could you do a video on the movie "snowpeircer"

Can you do a video on the creature's of Grimm from rwby please

I kinda suspect King got his inspiration for IT by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Ungoliant, who was a primordial being from the void, who took the form of a spider. Ungoliant was Shelob’s mother and a servant of Melkore, who later became Morgoth. Sorry if I misspelled the names. Edit: I also know that IT is also very Lovecraftian inspired.

It is T1009 prototype terminator sent back in time , but it got some bugs in cpu

As always nice explained video, can you do next one: War Of The Worlds (2005) film? Cheers! 😃

I don't care how creepy he is. IT has epic abilities

Been waiting for this one. GG

I learned alot ... I need to read some King books

Maturin is the embodiment of love and compassion while it is the embodiment of fear

Love your videos man keep it up man

Is there the possibility for you to make a video explaining the Stephen King Multiverse(/or connections)?

Get cthulhu to teach him some manners

"I am the eater of world... and children!" That's... kind of a downgrade isn't it?

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

Well my biggest fear is getting money,COME PENNYWISE

IT "Eater of worlds" Alduin

Can you make a video about the T+G virus from resident evil deadaim.

I love the pics of Great A'tuin from the Discworld

Based on the Chapter Two finale trailer I think he used to be human

I love this store of Stephen King. There’s so much details he put into this story and IT. Thanks for making this video. And I got one. The Faro Plague from Horizon Zero Dawn.🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I wonder what’s worse, the complex and deep lore of the King Universe or the actual ending of IT chapter one in the book, yikes

I got an IT chapter 2 commercial at the start of this video

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

the turtle in the vid is actually Great A'Tuin, though :-) ... fun vid :-)

Can you do a video on Calvin from life?

Oh yeah, 1st *Edit* Great video my guy, keep up the amazing work

Penny wise has been exunodcondo or something like that from John wick

Children biggest fear: Clowns Adults biggest fear: Children

Pennywise once sought the power of the infinity stones... Because he was there when they were created.

Great video as always. Clowns scare the heck out of me

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 ?

Can you do a video explaining the origin of Stephen kings The Mist?

Alright pennywise can’t leave Dary sooo i am Safe?

Nicely done. Thanks for posting!

But even if you aren't afraid of it, can't it still shapeshift into a big ass death machine and kill you or are its powers truly disabled?
