A few things that I don’t see talked about from the It novel:
- It took Eddie three tries to finally leave his mother.
- While most of the Losers had one primary ‘Fear’, Richie had three (The Paul Bunyan statue, the werewolf, and the giant eyeball).
- Beverly was the closest thing the Losers had to ‘muscle’ and did the most physical damage to It.
- All of the Losers were assholes to each other and said pretty terrible things to each other.
- Stan threw a pie tin in his living room and shattered a window in his home.
- Eddie laughed when Bowers broke his arm because he never felt true pain before and it was sort of exhilarating to finally know what it felt like.
- Mike was incredibly intelligent and knew so much about the history of the town (from his father).
- Mike’s fear stemmed from when his father saw a giant black bird (that was It) during the burning of the Black Spot.
- It was Stan’s idea to clean Beverly’s blood filled bathroom and when they finished he paid to have Beverly’s washcloths cleaned.
- It was also Stan’s idea to do the blood oath.
- At one point Stan gets his hands on fireworks/firecrackers and asks if they can all go to the dump to light them off.
- Eddie had a hero worship type of relationship with Bill and was convinced that every other person saw him in this way too.
- Ben was very handy and helped the other Losers build plenty of things (a dam, an underground fort, etc.).
- Richie was uncomfortable with showing any form of sincere intimacy with another boy if he thought anyone would see him.
- Richie is the reason why Beverly ended up joining the Losers Club.
- Richie and Beverly were the two primary smokers but Bill smoked too occasionally and Ben did once as well.
