something i feel very strongly about is that the IT films do a bad job making the adults feel like friends. i don't know if it's a script issue, a directing issue, or an acting issue, but it's incredibly frustrating to me.
the movie does a great job showing close relationships between the losers in specific pairs (richie and eddie, ben and beverly, mike and bill), but otherwise they do not feel like friends to me (they almost get there in the jade scene, but nothing like in the miniseries, and the rest of the movie is awful in this regard). like you want me to believe eddie died and beverly and ben are just??? making out??? like richie is here sobbing on a rock and he loses his glasses and the other losers go looking and bev and ben are just???? kissing? like these are not beverly and ben these are imposters. like tell me why richie was the only one who showed any significant emotion over eddie dying. they were all friends, thats the whole goddamn point.
and idk what happens in the book, but the losers leaving eddie in the sewers is so stupid, like he is constantly noted to be tiny, and you're telling me none of the losers could carry him out? ben's whole thing (which i will be ranting about later because it pisses me off that ben had to get skinny and buff to be hot like shut the fuck up) is that he got buff and he couldn't pick up eddie? seriously? it makes no sense for the losers to leave him down there he hated the sewers the last place in the world that he would ever want to rest forever would be in a disgusting sewer. they love him and they know him they would never leave him down there
the relationships between the losers in the miniseries feel so much more substantial, yes richie and eddie are shown to be notably close, same with ben and bev, but that doesn't mean they don't all love each other. it's very notable to me that in the miniseries the losers are always touching each other, and not just in brief offhand ways, they lean into each other, they lay on each other, they caress each others faces. it isn't just that they love each other and are comfortable sitting close together on the couch or something, they are constantly actively touching each other, both because they love each other, and probably because they're so amazed to have each other back and want to commit their friends to memory. like literally any scene with more than one loser in it? they're touching each other or otherwise very close, whereas in the film you don't get that impression at all.

friendly but extremely aggressive reminder that the quote “the world should have protected you but instead you have been asked to protect it. what an honor, what an injustice” is about a sixteen year old boy in the middle of a literal battle for the survival of the world itself after having lost his dad, his boyfriend, his home, and -importantly- his fucking childhood

Ba2mia Spoilers
I’m so mad that I’m doing math during my summer break for something so fucking heartbreaking but here we are.
Ever since Murph established that Beverly’s Oath of the Ancients “Undying Sentinel” thing, where he would no longer suffer the effects of old age, meant that Bev was theoretically immortal, I’ve had this terribly depressing thought.
We’ve been reminded on several occasions, since Moonshine’s talk with Jolene in c1 and Hardwon returning to the material plane in c3, that both Bev and Moonshine were going to outlive him. Moonshine’s first time bringing it up, about not wanting to know a world without Hardwon Surefoot, sprouted a lot of Hardshine angst fanworks… but one thing I haven’t seen people mention is, what about Erlin? Halflings generally only live to 150-ish. We can hope that Erlin joined them in going to the Astral Plane, but when was that?
Hardwon was 26 in c1, reportedly 226 now but having physically aged to about 80-90 since the passage of time is wonky in the Astral Plane and they don’t really age there. For the sake of this, I’ll be saying he’s closer to 80. We know he’s spent about 3 years back on the mortal plane. This leaves about 51 years unaccounted for, where they were all still likely on the Material plane. So that makes Erlin, what? 67? Almost half way through his life?
Erlin and Beverly have always been outgoing, and they wanted to have their own adventures, that’s what they set off to do at the end of c1 to fill the journal together. It seems unlikely they’d stay within the astral plane forever. It seems almost cruel to. Erlin’s bound to grow old, and Beverly will have to watch another person he loves die and be unable to do anything.
I suppose the “easy” answer to that is that it was young love that wasn’t meant to last. A love that survived the apocalypse, sure, but love seems so much easier in comparison to the end of the world. Ive seen the fallouts y’all write on ao3, it’s heartbreaking- but is that better than the alternative? Worse than trying? Is there a good outcome???
Anyway it’s 5am and I haven’t slept, so yes I am crying about “Beverlin Foreverlin” not being forever. Sue me.

"Ain't you never heard the saying 'don't speak to strangers'? Or the fact that staring is rude?"
Truthfully, she didn't like that saying all that much. Sure, it was understandable and back when IT had been happened didn't it just make sense? But that was... a good few years ago now. Long time ago. No point bringing it up. But maybe that was why she hated it in a way... Hated that feeling of oppression and fear. Not everyone was some Big Bad, were they? A few bad experiences didn't make everything bad.
Still, she hadn't liked that glint in their eye. The redhead wrinkled her nose, gave a huff of air to blow a loose strand of hair away from her face and looked away. "I'm not doing anything WRONG. I'm not moving." She took one last drag of her cigarette, then dropped it to the ground - stubbing it out with her foot.
closed starter !! @trustrage
