It: Chapter Two is the sequel to 2017's It and an adaptation of the second half of Stephen King’s classic horror novel.Twenty-seven years after the events of the first film, the members of the Losers' Club return to Derry to finally put an end to the malevolent force that terrorized them in their youths. While they managed to beat Pennywise the first time, he was only toying with them then; it was the first time he was hurt, ever, and now he is taking off the kid gloves.The cast includes James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean and Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, all in addition to the child actors playing the kids in the first film (Jaeden Martell, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jack Dylan Grazer).In March 2022, a prequel series to the duology, titled Welcome to Derry, was announced for HBO Max.Previews: Teaser, Trailer. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: The Losers - Eddie and Richie, in particular - may bicker and call each other out on their bullshit, even in adulthood, but it's pretty obvious that they're Fire-Forged Friends who are completely willing to die for one another. True Companions, indeed. | |

It: Chapter Two / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Subverted with Stan, who seems to have committed suicide rather than come back and fight IT again, but the ending reveals that he knew that he wouldn't be able to overcome his fear and that would have doomed the Loser's Club, and him killing himself was meant as a Heroic Sacrifice to give them a fighting chance. Played straight with Pennywise, who is exactly the same cowardly bully at heart as he was in the first movie, only being his vicious self when he has the advantage, but turns into a pathetic baby-thing when the Losers essentially roast him. | |

Rasputinian Death: An innocent gay man, Adrian Mellon, is brutally beaten up by homophobes, unable to reach his inhaler, which is kicked away by them, and thrown over the bridge into a river, where he almost drowns, until Pennywise saves him, only to viciously bite his heart out of his chest while his horrified lover watches. All of that happens in about three minutes and it is said to be one of the most disturbing scenes in the entire film. | |

Instantly Proven Wrong | |
It: Chapter Two / int_14180452 | comment |
During the flashback scene of the Losers' Club hanging out in their hideout, Stan gives them all shower caps to prevent spiders from crawling into their hair, which Richie finds it ridiculous as nobody should be afraid of spiders (only to be proven wrong when he sees everyone else putting on those shower caps). Later, one of IT's forms is the head of child Stan with hairy spider legs that attacks the adult Losers at Neibolt House. And during Final Battle, IT assumes the form of a Giant Spider with Pennywise's head, which the Losers could only defeat by treating IT as something to not be afraid of. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: The teaser trailer contains a scene that plays near the end of the movie, namely when the surviving Losers Club see a reflection of their younger selves in a building's glass. For those who didn't read the book or watch the miniseries, it also kind of spoils who is dead by the end: Stanley's and Eddie's adult selves are not present. | |

It: Chapter Two / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While the original film wasn't exactly light-hearted, the sequel is much darker and meaner, focusing more on gore and the grotesque. That being said, a criticism leveled against it by critics is that it is less scary, with fewer moments played overtly for horror, and the story itself is more focused on the characters than the scares. There is also a massive amount of Black Comedy. | |

Childhood Friend Romance: Subverted with Bill and Beverly. The two dated for sometime after defeating IT for the first time, but went on their separate ways after leaving Derry. As adults, the two are married to different people and, barring one kiss, never become a couple again. Ben remembers his love for Beverly, but not vice versa. Upon regaining her memories, however, she returns his feelings and the two become a couple in the end. Tragically averted with Richie and Eddie, as Eddie dies without ever learning of Richie's feelings for him. | |

But when Mike calls them back, despite not fully understanding the reasons why they feel so much dread, they respond to the call. Rather notably, for everyone the caller ID from Mike showed the same Maine phone number, but when Mike calls Bill in the epilogue Caller ID showed Mike's name this time. | |

Mythology Gag | |
It: Chapter Two / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: An attraction at the amusement park has clown-pendulums that resemble Tim Curry's Pennywise. Pennywise once again impersonates Bev and says "Kiss me, fat boy!" to Ben. Bill and Mike's vision of It's arrival shows him first taking the form of a giant bird, which was how IT appeared to Mike in the novel. The "root" used to cause the visions in the first place is referred to by the natives as "holy maturin". Maturin is the name later given to the Turtle in The Dark Tower. The running gag of Bill's books having terrible endings is a likely a joke about Stephen King's books not always having good endings. (Indeed, King himself mentions Bill's terrible endings during his cameo.) Stan is introduced completing a jigsaw puzzle of a painting depicting several birds, alluding to his interest in them in the book and miniseries. One of the fortune cookie abominations is a tentacled eye that crawls after Richie, reminiscent of a form IT assumed that terrified his book counterpart. The scene where Ben goes to his old school shows a turtle on the desk. This is a clear reference to Maturin who in the book helped the Losers fight against IT. The metal spike that Eddie throws at Pennywise glows green, and once IT is killed a green light casts into IT's collapsing lair, possibly suggesting Maturin's presence. While Bev is trapped in the bathroom stall, Pennywise, in the form of young Henry Bowers, shouts "Here's Johnny!" through the slightly open door. In the book, Eddie dies after IT tears his arm off. In this film, a vengeful Richie angrily tears off one of the depowered monster's arms after it mortally impales Eddie. During the epilogue, we see Bill working on his new book. The words on the page are lifted verbatim from the novel. In Audra's only scene, we see that she has a similar hairstyle to Beverly as an adult, and she takes offense when Bill asks her why she can't be "the woman I want you to be" (although he is referring to her character in the film). This references that in the book Audra is something of a Replacement Goldfish for Beverly. Before the final battle, IT takes the form of a young Stanley's decapitated head and morphs into a creature straight from The Thing (1982), which itself is a reference to IT taking the form of movie monsters in the book. | |

Adapted Out | |
It: Chapter Two / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Understandably, many minor characters were cut from the adaptation. But notably and thankfully, IT hasn't laid any eggs in this continuity. There's a minor subplot where after Beverly walks out on Tom, she goes to her friend Kay first. Tom later tracks Kay down and beats her up to get Beverly's whereabouts. With Tom's role reduced, Kay is removed from the film completely. The Guard, John Koontz, who works at the asylum taking care of Henry Bowers, has a fear of Doberman Pinschers, and is eventually mauled to death by It, who transforms into an enormous Doberman while helping Henry escape. The film removes this subplot and simply has him confront Henry when the latter already knifed one of his colleagues, and both his fate and name remain unrevealed. | |

The Mirror Shows Your True Self: While exploring Neibolt, Ben suddenly collapses to the ground in pain, with words seemingly being carved into his skin by nothing. When he, Bev, and Mike look into the mirror opposite them, it reveals Pennywise to be behind them, doing the carving with an expression that clearly relays how much he's enjoying the deed. Realizing that Pennywise only shows up in the mirror, she opts to destroy the mirror with a fence-post spear, which reveals that the whole thing is a hallucination. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
It: Chapter Two / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Richie is called right before his performance as a stand-up comedian and is unable to shake the stress that came with the sudden onslaught of unpleasant memories, and tries to back out, but his manager insists that he performs his act anyway. When it's finally time for him to take the stage, he makes a fool of himself by forgetting the punchline to his joke. As it turns out, years of abuse and slut-shaming by an entire town has left Beverly as a miserable Broken Bird who is easily swayed by promises. Despite having become a successful fashion designer, she is stuck in an abusive relationship, no better than what she experienced as a teenager. When Richie kills Henry, he attempts to make a joke... and promptly vomits in shock, clearly traumatized; when Eddie asks if he's okay, he angrily points out that no, he's not, because "I've just fucking killed a guy!" In an odd way, Eddie's individual fight with IT is this. IT forgets that IT is bound to the limitations of whatever shape IT assumes, meaning that the fight is really between a relatively healthy adult man and a diseased, deformed leper. Eddie nearly manages to choke IT to death, and IT only escapes by vomiting all over Eddie as a distraction. Eddie recounting this in the climax causes the Losers to realize that they need to trap IT in a form they can kill. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Pennywise is dead for good (along with Henry) and his evil has been vanquished from Derry, but Eddie dies in the process of killing him, to Richie's grief, and Stanley killed himself in order to ensure that their plan works. Even more bitter is that Eddie had no idea that Richie had feelings for him due to already being married and since he's dead, he never will. Also, Adrian, Victoria and Dean were killed by Pennywise adding three more people to his (presumably high) body count and Bill and Richie will still have to cope with losing Georgie and Eddie respectively. Ben and Beverly end up together (which Bill accepts), Mike moves on with his life and leaves town, Bill becomes a better writer, and everyone finds success and happiness now that the threat of IT is no longer hanging over them. Unlike in the book, the Losers remember each other after splitting ways, and it's implied that they'll still be friends. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The way to defeat Pennywise is to bind him with belief, to force him to take a vulnerable shape and kill him there. Mike's attempt to use the Ritual of Chüd revolves around this, giving the Losers something to make them believe that they can defeat IT, though this specific tactic fails. Eddie wounds Pennywise by believing that Bev's fence-post spear can kill monsters, just like she said it would. It works, though at the cost of angering Pennywise, which results in his death. | |

Not His Sled: The Ritual of Chüd is nothing more than ancient superstition in this continuity. The first natives that tried it were killed by IT almost immediately. Henry Bower's escape from the mental institute, bent on killing the Losers under IT's command, seems to set up Mike being critically injured and is thus unable to join the rest of the Losers to confront IT in its lair just like in the novel. While Henry did get close to achieve that, Richie is able to kill him before he could do any lasting injuries to Mike, thus allowing Mike to join his friends to personally defeat IT once and for all. | |

Bill learns that the young boy who they met in the restaurant actually lives in his old house and hears Pennywise talking to him in the bathtub. He later realizes that IT is going to find the boy at the fairground's clown attraction. Bill catches up to the boy in the Hall of Mirrors to save him, only to slam face first into a glass wall that separates him from the kid. Despite Bill's best efforts, Pennywise manages to get to the kid first, and Bill is Forced to Watch as the boy's head literally explodes from the force of Pennywise chomping into him. | |

For the Final Battle, IT assumes the form of a monstrous-sized arachnid with Pennywise's upper half attached to it. IT's Pomeranian form looks very cute and adorable at first glance, until it suddenly morphs into a hideous and fanged snarling monstrosity. | |

Near-Death Experience: All the Losers experience this at least once in the hours leading up to the climactic fight with Pennywise. Bev is almost drowned by Mrs. Kersh in the sewers. Bill is almost dragged into the storm drain by the many-handed apparition that IT takes to taunt him about Georgie. Eddie is stabbed in the cheek by a deranged Henry Bowers and is bleeding heavily by the time Ben and Bev find him. Richie comes face-to-face with IT itself in the park. Ben has the words 'HOME AT LAST' carved into his stomach and almost has his throat slashed by Pennywise, though the wounds disappear the minute Beverly smashes the mirror. Mike is nearly stabbed by Henry Bowers in the library before Richie saves him. | |

In Audra's only scene, we see that she has a similar hairstyle to Beverly as an adult, and she takes offense when Bill asks her why she can't be "the woman I want you to be" (although he is referring to her character in the film).

The Reveal: A minor one but Bill, during his battle with IT, sees an illusion IT created wherein Georgie blames Bill for his death because he lied about being sick that fateful day. Bill admits he did lie about being sick which is the big reason he blamed himself so much about Georgie's death. Richie is gay and was secretly in love with Eddie. The Ritual of Chüd doesn't work, and the last people who tried it were killed by IT. Mike knew all of this, and essentially recruited the Losers for a Suicide Mission, in the desperate hope that they might succeed where the natives failed. | |

You Can't Fight Fate | |
It: Chapter Two / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: Upon remembering that Pennywise only emerges every 27 years, Richie suggests just waiting another few decades and dealing with IT then. He's reminded by Eddie that they'd be in their seventies by that point, while Beverly says that, in her visions, they'll all be dead anyway before another twenty years pass if they don't end the fight now. | |

In-Series Nickname: Most of the Losers still call each other by their childhood nicknames throughout the film. Mike is frequently called "Mikey", most often by Bill. All of the boys call Beverly "Bev". Eddie is "Eds". Richie is "Trashmouth". Mike calls Stan "Stan the Man" during their phone call. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
It: Chapter Two / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Adrian Mellon in the book is genuinely intimidated by his attackers when they get serious and takes off the hat while begging to be left alone. Here, he's Defiant to the End, even insulting his attackers with his last words. The actor, who himself is also gay, pushed for his character to show some LGBT pride rather than fear in the face of harassment. Pennywise himself, at least in the final battle. In previous iterations, his final form was easily knocked over and beaten to death by the losers, even if they were motivated by him killing Eddie. Here, he actually forces them on the run multiple times, survives being impaled on a huge spike, and it takes them exploitting his Weaksauce Weakness to get him small enough for them to rip his heart out. | |

It: Chapter Two / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: The town of Derry itself manages to survive the final battle instead of being destroyed in a flood, with only the 29 Neibolt Street house serving as a casualty. To a lesser extent, Tom Rogan, since he has only has one scene and does not follow Bev to Derry like he did in the book. To an even lesser extent, Mike manages to avoid getting hospitalized by Henry Bowers like he did in the book and miniseries, and is even involved in the final battle with IT/Pennywise. Greta Keene's book counterpart was killed in a car crash at the age of eighteen. Here, she's still alive and working in her father's pharmacy to the present day. | |

Dying Declaration of Love: Ben invokes this at the end, when he and Beverly are separated by Pennywise's traps - Bev in a bathroom rapidly filling with blood; and Ben slowly being buried alive in the Losers' childhood clubhouse. It's especially touching, seeing as he uses his final moments to comfort her, to show her that she isn't alone; and that even if she dies, she will die loved by him. Instead, The Power of Love saves them both. | |

Lonely at the Top | |
It: Chapter Two / int_7f8fd503 | comment |
Lonely at the Top: Almost all of the adult Losers are shown to be extremely financially successful but utterly miserable in their personal lives. Bill is a successful horror writer with several movie adaptations, but it's widely agreed that his endings suck and his marriage appears to be strained (he asks why she can't be what he wants, she replies "fuck you," he backspaces and says he meant for the movie; this implies a long history of arguments about who has what roles in their marriage). Beverly is a fashion designer living in a beautiful house, but she's still trapped in the same cycle of abuse as her childhood and is married to a man who beats and rapes her. Adding insult to injury, thanks to being the only one of the group who was exposed to the Deadlights, she is plagued by nightmares every time she sleeps. Ben is implied to be the most successful of the whole group but is utterly lonely despite his money and good looks. He has yet to marry, seeing as the woman he loves — Beverly — is married to someone else. Eddie is a risk analyst with a fancy car who married a carbon copy of his overbearing mother (played by the same actress, even!) and remains as neurotic and angry as ever. Richie is a famous comedian who can't write his own jokes and is still deeply closeted at the age of forty. Downplayed with Mike, who became Derry's librarian and in general having little-no-issues with his private life, though he did have to postpone his dream of moving to Florida, dedicating his life to find a way to defeat IT instead. Though it's implied he's about two steps away from being seen as "the town crazy." The one clear aversion is Stan, who seems to have been both Happily Married and reasonably well-off which only serves to make his eventual suicide all the more tragic. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
It: Chapter Two / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Beverly's abusive husband is never seen again after she escapes him. This is especially weird considering that she starts a relationship with Ben at the end of the movie, so she needs to divorce him at some point, though the film makes a point to show her leaving her wedding ring before going back to Derry. In the book, Bev's husband actually follows her to Derry, where he is killed by Pennywise. The gang that attacked Adrian Mellon also just disappears. Despite being set up as a threat much similar to Henry Bowers' gang, they just flee the scene and are not shown to have faced any comeuppance. For that matter, Adrian's partner also just disappears. Despite possibly being the only other adult character to see IT, he never shows up again or is even questioned by Mike. Though it's revealed in the Deleted Scenes for It Chapter One that Henry did indeed kill Victor and Belch, no mention is made of them in the last part of the theatrical release. They also appear in flashbacks in Chapter Two, but unless you've seen the Chapter One Deleted Scenes, it's unclear what might have happened to them. | |

It: Chapter Two / int_932da128 | comment |
Monster Clown: Pennywise definitely picks up the slack after his twenty-seven year hibernation, feeding off the fear of and killing children while also gunning after the Losers' Club as revenge for defeating him in 1989. His final form amplifies this by virtue of being a giant version of his clown facade combined with a Giant Spider. | |

Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: Henry Bowers has gone unhinged since he was arrested after his father's death and had to spend 27 years in a mental hospital. He initiates an escape to Derry to resume terrorizing the Losers Club. Downplayed with Greta Keene, who is still a condescending individual but non-threatening. | |

Character Tics: Even in adulthood, Richie has a habit of adjusting his glasses. Adult Beverly smokes whenever she is scared or stressed. Bill's stutter comes back as an adult to show that he is starting to remember Derry. The more scared Eddie gets, the faster and higher his voice becomes as well. He also has a habit of waving his hands about in front of his face to emphasize his points. As a child, Mike had a habit of clutching his left arm with his right. | |

Eldritch Location | |
It: Chapter Two / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The place in Derry where Pennywise touched down on Earth, at the bottom of a preexisting cavern, connected to a network of caves. Droplets of black liquid float upwards from the almost organic-looking spikes protrtuding from the floor, and when Pennywise descends to the point of impact in the form of the deadlights, the cavern walls warp as they pass into the appearance of a fanged gullet — reminiscent of Pennywise's throat — that undulates like the lights are being swallowed down. | |

Foreshadowing | |
It: Chapter Two / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The opening scene with Adrian Mellon foreshadows what later happens to Eddie; both are attacked by human bullies (the homophobic teens and Henry Bowers) before being brutally murdered by Pennywise while the man that loves them is forced to watch. Adrian is even shown reaching for his inhaler during the initial assault, and his comment about one of his attackers' hairstyles is echoed by Eddie mocking Henry's mullet. Just before answering Mike's phone call, Stan is shown assembling a jigsaw puzzle, and being unable to complete it due to missing the final piece. This foreshadows his suicide a few minutes later, making him the Losers Club's "Missing Piece." Richie gushing over how hot Ben is and ribbing Eddie about his marriage during the reunion dinner subtly foreshadows The Reveal that Richie is gay and in love with Eddie. Mike's explanation of having to steal the artifact that would be the can for the sealing that is the Ritual of Chüd makes more sense at the climax where it's revealed that the ritual doesn't work and that the last group of people who tried it were all killed. Makes sense that the natives wouldn't want anyone else trying to perform it. An elderly Mr. Keene (almost certainly IT assuming a disguise) pinches Eddie's cheek and rudely teases him that the "cancer" could be removed. Not long after, the escaped Henry Bowers stabs Eddie in the same spot. Pennywise essentially gives Bill the artifact (the paper boat he made with Georgie) he supposedly needs to complete the Ritual to destroy IT. Later, it's revealed that the Ritual of Chüd is useless, and that all the prior events in the movie were part of Pennywise's plan to lure the Losers into its lair so he could kill them all at once. Something that actually occurred in It: Chapter One that applies here. After the Losers made their blood pact to return to Derry if IT comes back, the first two to leave are Stan and Eddie, both of whom are the main casualties in this movie. Right before Stan commits suicide, he says, "I swear, Bill", remembering the pact that the Losers made to return to Derry if IT were to come back. It's revealed at the end that Stan killed himself so he would be with the Losers in spirit, as he was too afraid to face Pennywise in person and thought this would give the rest of the Losers the best chance of success. During the flashback scene of the Losers' Club hanging out in their hideout, Stan gives them all shower caps to prevent spiders from crawling into their hair, which Richie finds it ridiculous as nobody should be afraid of spiders (only to be proven wrong when he sees everyone else putting on those shower caps). Later, one of IT's forms is the head of child Stan with hairy spider legs that attacks the adult Losers at Neibolt House. And during Final Battle, IT assumes the form of a Giant Spider with Pennywise's head, which the Losers could only defeat by treating IT as something to not be afraid of. | |

Mood Whiplash: Quite a bit of it. The Losers' reunion dinner is largely a mixture of hilarity and heartwarming as the True Companions reunite. This switches to horror when the Misfortune Cookies come out. Which bounces back to comedy when the waitress walks into a perfectly normal room to see Mike smashing a table screaming "It's not real!" Right after fighting off Henry Bowers' attempt to kill him, Eddie cracks a joke about how he should cut his horribly outdated mullet while slinking away. In the middle of the dramatic final confrontation with Pennywise, a mortally wounded Eddie's last words to Richie are "I fucked your mom". When Eddie is struggling with the diseased leper form IT takes, IT vomits all over him while five seconds of "Angel in the Morning" plays. After killing Pennywise for real, the Losers happily reminisce about Stan and Eddie until Richie suddenly breaks down crying, causing the others to join together in a Group Hug. | |

Man Hug | |
It: Chapter Two / int_a9645365 | comment |
Man Hug: The adult Losers are quite fond of doing this to one another, especially after reuniting once more. During the Chinese restaurant scene, Bill is the first to arrive, and the minute Mike spots him, he grins widely and pulls Bill into a particularly tight one. Although Bill is confused, due to not remembering who Mike is exactly, he hugs Mike back. Later on, after the fight with Pennywise, he is the one to initiate a hug with Mike, and even gives him a platonic Headbutt of Love. Richie and Ben share one after seeing each other for the first time in twenty-seven years in front of the Chinese restaurant. In a more tragic version of this trope, Richie hugs Eddie's corpse lovingly after the battle with IT, stroking Eddie's hair and firmly disbelieving that the love of his life is dead. | |

Pennywise himself, at least in the final battle. In previous iterations, his final form was easily knocked over and beaten to death by the losers, even if they were motivated by him killing Eddie. Here, he actually forces them on the run multiple times, survives being impaled on a huge spike, and it takes them exploitting his Weaksauce Weakness to get him small enough for them to rip his heart out. | |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Richie gives a speech like this to Eddie when he's freaking out in the sewers, which ends in this almost word-for-word. Ultimately it ends up being a bit of a tragic zigzag, though: Richie's pep talk is implied to be at least partly the reason Eddie is able to overcome his fear and confront It when Richie's life is in danger, succeeding but getting himself fatally injured in the process. Considering that Richie's unspoken love for Eddie is the reason why he's so quick to build up his self-esteem in the first place, it's an absolutely brutal outcome. | |

Hope Spot: Bill learns that the young boy who they met in the restaurant actually lives in his old house and hears Pennywise talking to him in the bathtub. He later realizes that IT is going to find the boy at the fairground's clown attraction. Bill catches up to the boy in the Hall of Mirrors to save him, only to slam face first into a glass wall that separates him from the kid. Despite Bill's best efforts, Pennywise manages to get to the kid first, and Bill is Forced to Watch as the boy's head literally explodes from the force of Pennywise chomping into him. Pennywise is briefly disabled after Eddie throws the spear into IT's throat, and he excitedly tells Richie he thinks he's killed IT. Then he gets skewered from behind by one of IT's Combat Tentacles. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Eddie's fence-post spear glows green right before he conjures up enough belief to impale and injure Pennywise with it. A Shout-Out to Maturin the Turtle, perhaps? Or simply the light in the cavern turning the metal green? | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge | |
It: Chapter Two / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Even though Pennywise was going to emerge again due to his hibernation being over, he's especially nasty once he learns the Losers, the only non-supernatural beings able to resist his influence and actually go on the offensive against him, have also returned. After watching Pennywise kill Dean right in front of him in the funhouse, Bill is seriously pissed off and intends to go on a one man rampage. Luckily for him, the rest of the Losers arrive at the 29 Neibolt Street house and stop Bill before he goes on a (very likely) suicide mission to kill Pennywise. A minor one, but after IT impales Eddie and is subsequently de-powered, Richie makes sure to rip the exact same arm off and practically hurls it in Pennywise's face, all while wearing a furious expression. | |

Indeed, she is shown to skip over all of them when she packs for her return to Derry, opting for a sensible pair of sneakers instead. | |

Played Straight with Ben's iconic postcard poem for Beverly. Reciting it together proves to be the way for Ben and Beverly to survive Pennywise's death traps. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Most of the Losers do not fully remember their original fight with IT, and mostly responded to Mike's call as a bunch of old friends getting back together. But the longer they are in Derry, the more they remember, and when IT starts messing with them again, it really doesn't settle well with any of them. Eddie and Richie in particular come extremely close to actually leaving, while Ben and Bev also express interest in the idea. Bill is the only one who doesn't think about bolting, although he has his reservations. | |

Light Is Not Good | |
It: Chapter Two / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: A relevant plot detail, as more than any other adaptation it is stressed how the deadlights are IT's true form and how the Losers must "turn light into dark" though this fails. | |

Hate Sink | |
It: Chapter Two / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: IT aka Pennywise the Dancing Clown is still just as vile as he was 27 years ago. After awakening from hibernation, IT pretends to save a gay man from drowning only to devour his heart in front of his boyfriend. IT kills a young girl after promising to remove her embarrassing birthmark, and — to further taunt Bill over his inability to save Georgie — makes him relive it by killing another boy in front of him. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
It: Chapter Two / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Most of the Losers don't directly recall their battle with IT as kids, but immediately find themselves panicking and feeling immense fear when Mike calls them to regroup. Mike explains they can't remember because they left Derry, but because he stayed he remembers more, if not everything. Their memory of what happened slowly returns the longer they stay in town. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When IT mortally impales Eddie with one of IT's Combat Tentacles, Richie is visibly stunned into silence and cannot seem to speak. Later, he rips off the same arm angrily without so much as a wisecrack. When the Losers are reminiscing about Eddie after the final battle, Richie is the only one not smiling or joking. | |

But Not Too Gay | |
It: Chapter Two / int_e90f5682 | comment |
But Not Too Gay: The movie has received some criticism for this, despite giving Richie Adaptational Sexuality and canonizing the subtext between him and Eddie present in the book. It's never stated outright that Richie is gay and his feelings for Eddie are only revealed right at the very end, once Eddie is already dead and there's no hope for them to end up together. The movie also cuts a lot of the more overtly tender moments they share in the book - most notably Eddie caressing Richie's face and Richie kissing his cheek after he dies - with the result that The Reveal can come out of nowhere for those that weren't already paying close attention to the relationship. Admittedly, it's a horror movie with six main character arcs to juggle, but the difference when compared to the Ben/Beverly storyline is stark. | |

Helpless Window Death: Bill tries to save a young boy from Pennywise in a hall of mirrors, but though Bill technically finds him first, they're on opposite sides of the glass. He ultimately fails as Pennywise gets on the kid's side first and chomps down on his head, splattering the other side of the mirror with blood. | |

Brick Joke | |
It: Chapter Two / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the first film, Bill and Richie come across the infamous Not Scary/Scary/Very Scary doors in the Neibolt house. Behind the Not Scary Door, they find Betty Ripsom's upper torso, having been cut in half at the waist. In Chapter 2, Richie and Eddie find the same doors. Behind the Very Scary door, they find Betty Ripsom's legs, minus her torso. Related to the above, Richie jokes hopefully that IT's true form is a harmless, little Pomeranian. One appears behind the Not Scary door, but is far from harmless. In the first film, Richie freaks out when a missing child poster of him is found in the Neibolt house, with the same day's date written on it. In this film, one of the ways IT torments the now adult Richie is by having a reanimated corpse (Adrian Mellon's corpse, to boot) hand him a flyer for his own funeral. In the beginning of the movie, Adrian insults one of the bullies by comparing his hair to Meg Ryan. Later on in the movie, when Richie goes to the abandoned movie theater, there is a poster of the Meg Ryan movie You've Got Mail in the background. | |
