Topic: Trying to understand pennywise

He's very grandiose, probably a narcissist. His violence escalates but not just in numbers and intensity, but in self performance. It's like that even as he murders his grandiosity slips out, he can't help it. That's when he's something above entropy and showcasing collections. He often does that with spectacle and drama, he showcases the child victims like proof of vitality and eternity, he's succeeded in bypassing entropy and now he's the eternal one and he has the spotlight

He's a prick for sure but at least he didn't line up to bang a 12 year old in a sewer.

Yeah but only for the pennywise portrait
Like what happened to realism in that scene with the fire? In the last episode.

Pennywise is a bully. He’s a Lovecraftian-lite creature from beyond the stars … who mass murders children after psychologically terrorizing them. There doesn’t seem to be a greater aim than localized cruelty. Or I missed it. For this, he’s one of the most loathesome creations of horror.

I imagine that a creature like that could mess with different life forms all across the cosmos, perhaps simultaneously like the extended Brainiac comic character can

It's funny because I'm re-reading the novel for the first time in literally decades due to the Welcome To Derry series, and today I reached the point where the fat, bullied 11 year old Ben Hanscomb falls hopelessly in love with Beverly Marsh and despairs that a girl like her will never look twice at a boy like him. Weird as it is I kept thinking "A little over a month from now you'll be banging her".
This is such a bizarre novel, but frequently brilliant.

It's realistic in so far you can forgive things for the sake of the story, like pennywise existing, but when a small burning 'garage' with flying bullets, becomes a 5 minute scene it's weird

I would argue that a lot of things in the show are weird. Remember the dead mother monster?
Wait, its realistic so far?

Yeah I know. It's like the show went and thought because there's a supernatural element, physics just don't apply, like it's some excuse.
