have a DAMN good day!!

SO correct me If I am wrong but at least how I remember the book saying it is that Fear is salt on the meat. He doesn't actually consume fear it just makes you taste better and over the years he has just become a picky eater wanting just the most fearful to eat.

How to survive: Don't go to Derry. Ever. For anything.
OR
Be lucky you're visiting during his 27 year sleep,  but just visit. Don't stay.

Imagine overcomed your fear to defeat pennywise but instead got straight up flashed by deadlights.

This series flat out Redeemed Pennywise from how he was treated in both movies and restored his image as an interdimensional Demon clown that turns into your greatest nightmares as JUST A TOPPING. MEANING HE DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE YOU AFRAID IN ORDER TO KILL YOU

Short Answer: You are NOT surviving prime Pennywise😭

Matty's pacifier was our first clue that this kid was dealing with some hard trauma before he even got gotted, reinforced by "I'd rather go to the sewer than home" (yes it was disguised Pennywise but no one questions it)

Rules on how to beat it
1. You don't unless you have the turtles protection. Otherwise you just die

Pennywise does not feed on your fear, he feeds on humans. Fear just makes it taste better and he prefers not to eat food without seasoning. Half of the solutions you said would work wouldn’t work because pennywise is a reality-bender, not a shapeshifter. The loser’s club only survived and defeated it because they were being helped by Maturin in the first movie, and in the second it was extremely implied they had the shining. Without any of those, you’re dead.

"How dumb can you be to think you can control Pennywise?"
I mean, they're part of the government...we've seen how dumb and incompetent our government has been this year alone.

Fun fact: Lily only survived the cinema ordeal because she was protected by the turtle charm she received from Matty.

You didn't give enough credit to Halloran during this series. He uses the shining to fight Pennywise and was such an issue that Pennywise had to nerf him by havin gthe ghoss attack him. Which was proven when in that final scene he managed to get a primordial god to question himself for a few moments. Him and Rich are the GOATs of this series

Pennywise is definitely powerful, even with the nerf of confidence. Because people underestimate how hard it is to actually overcome your fear and become confident against it. Plus, he represents something that we all forget, even though it’s everywhere:
Monsters only exist if you believe they do
Monsters can only hurt you if you believe they can
And you can only hurt monsters if you believe you can.

Just realized Richie is named after the kid that died. 😭

season two and three confirmed

37:21 I mean, she didn’t set them up, they decided “let’s follow the random missing kid into the sewers” while she was just trying to see her dad again

The fact that the General wants to control a cosmic god

18:30 I mean, to be fair, we are talking about the US Military in a supernatural horror show. In that setting they're always giant morons looking to make a weapon out of the uncontrolable entity.

Imagine you're just doing something in all of a sudden you hear :"and that was the biggest mistake":  like a dude I'm just trying to make a bowl of cereal    .R.I.P. 🥀

Crazy how to this day, people still make the same mistake of thinking Pennywise gains power from fear.
