Plus it gets kinda stupid to see this clown mess with adults.

Lol right. They made it work ok in the tv series at some parts but they need to change that whole ending with the spider.

Unless you mean the new one, then idk.

I heard it is. But I guess the stakes are lower cause they know what they are dealing with

It's actually pretty cool, the way King explains it in the book. The kids have a power that is more potent when they're still children, but begins to go away as they grow older. It's the same reason that...

Spoiler

Beverly's dad can't see the blood in the sink, in the first part of the story, but she and all of the Loser's Club can. Most of the adults in Derry have an inability to even see Pennywise or any of his tricks

So, when they come back to fulfill their promise in the second half of the story, because they're power is diminished, dealing with Pennywise is that much harder.

Yup, a kid's mind is more malleable, it's easier for them to understand what's outside the confines of systematic structures and constraints built all the way through to adulthood.

Adults, they get more freaked out as stuff starts escaping the scope of their bounded knowledge and experience.

Everybody hates the second part

Morons maybe.

Lol...well, regarding the now infamous "spider" scene in the old miniseries, yeah, it was a little hokey, but they were working on a tv budget, and to be completely fair King does describe IT's true form as appearing spider-like. He hedges on that a little by saying that that's not exactly what IT is but it's the closest thing to his actual appearance that their minds can process, so that's what he looks like to them. That part of the miniseries definitely doesn't come off as scary at all, but I'm not sure on a miniseries budget, especially with the limitations of the time, that there was a good answer to translating that scene to the screen, accurately.

I haven't seen the original miniseries in its entirety yet, but someone on YouTube basically uploaded all of the scenes with Pennywise in HD and I watched those just earlier today. Based on those clips alone, I easily prefer Tim Curry over Bill Skarsgård any day. I didn't find all of the supporting protagonist actors/actresses in the miniseries great, but what I saw was OK.

It isnt even the spider. The acting with the adult cast is cringe.
Plus the dialogue is pretty bad in some scenes, like the jokes the one guy kept doing.

None of them were great but I've seen far worse.

Great villain, good choice reminded me of forum member Rorywan I miss him.

Just glad they didn't include the Tween *** Orgy scene from the book.

I never read the book but i'm aware of that.

King was doing a ton of cocaine and ecstasy in the 80's lol

I have yet to see someone praising that scene.

Lol why do people think they would of done it. Some are even upset it wasn't involved. I just learned about it. I still can't believe that was written in.

Gangbang in a sewer.

Ewwww.

Fair enough. I just brought up the spider because I see it referenced a lot in various online articles and some people's forum posts as being one of the main shortcomings of the old miniseries. I feel like that's partially a fair criticism. It's fair to say that in execution, it didn't work well. But it was arguably pretty accurate to the way the creature is described. I completely understand it being thought of as one of the more hokey parts of the miniseries, but it represents a pretty small part of the overall story in both the miniseries and the novel. I'm pretty confident too that if they go that route for the sequel to the new movie, they could make IT look pretty cool with modern special effects and a big movie budget.

It's more like the spider from gremlins 2 to be honest. I do wonder how they gonna do his final form in the second one. Could just make him frieza

On It movie:

"A popular fan idea for this film is to have the child actors from the original film return to play the adult roles. However, Bill would have to be recast due to the death of Jonathan Brandis. Marlon Taylor and Jarred Blancard, who played the roles of Mike and Henry, have both said that if they were offered the chance to reprise their roles, they would accept."

I say they wait a legit 27 years. Lock all the IT 2017 kids in a binding contract with no escape. Make them come back to reprise their roles as full grown adults

Where is Jake Lloyd he should play Anakin again lol.
