Why is Pennywise screwing with the kids in the first place? Is he just a jerk for the heck of it? 2. What IS he exactly? 3. Is he killing kids or eating em or what? 4. Why'd the little kid keep saying we all float down here in the new trailer? --- I have a doctorate in professoring. <cite>DrProfessor posted [p:883855219] in Never seen...

His true form is never known, he ~~is killed in spider form though~~ There is a bit more to his origin, it relates to one of his powers "Dead-light" or something 3. Yep food.

ParanoidObsessive 07/30/17 3:10:11 AM #7:	He's "supernatural evil". That's really all you'll ever know, and you kind of have to roll with it or else the story is going to be really unsatisfying. He's a very Stephen King-y sort of character. Also, IT was one of those stories that got tied into all of the Dark Tower stuff later on, so reading those (or at least a wiki article about the overall mythos) might give you a different perspective on him, but it might just confuse you even more. Though it was written before the tie-ins started, so it definitely stands on its own if you're not into the rest of the craziness. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:883857271] in Never seen...

Kimbos_Egg 07/30/17 6:16:21 PM #15:	hes a god/demon that takes the form of whatever you fear in order to scare you which makes you taste better. "Pennywise" is just her favorite form when luring children, who's fears are much easier to materialize. But its power is also a double edged sword because it must obey the "rules" of its form. (such as, weakness to silver if a werewolf). Its power is based in belief and can be used against it easily. --- You think you've Got problems? http://i.imgur.com/vgckRUN.jpg <cite>Kimbos_Egg posted [p:883888636] in Never seen...

When Pennywise lures that child (a main character's younger brother) to his death, he does so by talking about balloons, etc, floating in the sewers.

I would assume the Harry Potter version is based on the actual folklore version (ie, the one he was linking to there).

Adult me never goes to sleep with my head under a sheet in desperate terror that something was going to slither out from under my bed or burst out of my closet and murder me in my sleep. And I'm actually capable of going outside after sunset without assuming that there are a thousand things lurking in the shadows just out of eyesight range. I've never known a single person who played Changeling "silly". If anything, the usual tone is more like It or Stranger Things. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why is Pennywise screwing with the kids in the first place? Is he just a jerk for the heck of it? 2. What IS he exactly? 3. Is he killing kids or eating em or what? 4. Why'd the little kid keep saying we all float down here in the new trailer?

Foppe 08/01/17 2:44:16 AM #43:	Doesnt King include some kind of sex-related scenes in most of his books? Everything from "small stuff" like masturbating in school while thinking about your girlfriend in stockings, getting a handjob when you couldnt save an animal, getting a massive boner while seeing a friends girlfriend upskirt, etc to more darker stuff like inserting a loaded gun into a mans ass just to watch him masturbate, raping a girl to near death with an electrified condom, pretending to be a library police just to rape a kid in four detailed pages, etc. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
