How much of Dark Tower (the movie with Idris) lore is revealed in the movie? Its tone seemed so different - like an action fantasy - it was super uninteresting to me and I wasn’t seeing the connection to monsters and all this other shyt besides the kid having the shine to even know the dark tower existed (I will say I slept thru the last 20 minutes of it as well)
Please erase any traces of that movie out of your brain. They fukked it up so bad and then pissed me off dropping Pennywise/Shining/Misery/Shawshank/Christine/Cujo easter eggs just b/c and no real explanation.

They did an awful job with the Man In Black/Walter Paddikk character and didn't explain anything.

I WOULD AGREE IF
HIS BOY COULD SEE IT
SO IT HAD TO BE 100% ILLUSION

:devil:
:evil:


I think there was something under the water, even if what was above the water wasn't really there. Just based on the "splash" that happened after the "body" disappeared.

Some of the illusions are individual, that was specifically for him thats why IT showed him his wife.

I do think it was weird the cac soldier didn't see it or his own illusion but I guess IT was busy with the kids and thats all he could afford

MORE ON THIS....

:jbhmm:MAJOR HANLON HAS SOME
SORT OF CONDITION THAT ALLOWS
HIM TO BE FEARLESS YET HE STILL
SAW A PENNY WISE ILLUSION.

PLOT HOLE?
:devil:
:evil:


It’s not the fear, it’s general belief that gives him power. He believed something grabbed his son in the river, so he was definitely susceptible to seeing the illusions in the sewer.

I think the book tried to illustrate that adults lose their imagination or some malleability. They totally miss what pennywise is doing unless he wants to be seen or they’re under duress.

The fear alone is just seasoning for Pennywise.

Maybe illusions is the wrong word for the sewer shyt. Illusions, to me, means it's visually real, but no physical threat. Like a hologram.
Would manifestations be better? Pennywise is manifesting shyt. So it has physical attributes as well. So Charlotte, Uncle Sam and etc in the sewer were manifestations or just pennywise himself shapeshifting into those people.

The stuff with Marge is dicey though. I wouldve said the the eye shyt was pure illusion, but it had to be "real". Marge felt the pain of the eyes growing. Her cutting the eye was shaky too. Half her face shouldve been cut off if we being honest. No way that blade can touch her regular eye w/o cuting her nose and shyt.

Lily store stuff was more illusion than manifestation.

Maybe it's just a lack of consistency of the creative team and they dont expect ppl to think this hard on it :manny:

I think Pennywise can perform illusion-like things, but from reading the book, I always felt he was bending reality, then he would let it go or put it back how it was when he was done.

It helps increase fear through isolation by showing people that no one will believe them. He can just increase their fear and pain like he’s seasoning to taste. He can just hunt in plain sight and most adults won’t even notice him enough to stop him.

It’s a predator and learned how to efficiently and safely hunt over centuries

Sure but I wouldn't think about it too much, sometimes several people see it so you would thing its real but then it turns out it was an illusion like the cementary, sometimes only one person can see it but it has an effect in real life like in the river etc, just go with it.

I wonder how they are going to handle future seasons. This season is great.

However, IDK if I could put up with 2 more seasons of kids going up against Pennywise (It: Chapter 1 also included). That would be stale.
