what she means: i really wanna know where the stereotype that eddie kaspbrak is âweakâ even came from to begin with. is it just because heâs small? because he has asthma even though he technically doesnât? never ONCE has he shown any amount of weakness, not even in his final moments when he literally spent it comforting richie even though he lost his fucking arm, not to mention he literally sacrificed himself to save the losers. in the book, there are countless moments where eddie shows how strong he is. he laughs when henry breaks his arm because itâs the first time heâs ever felt real pain, heâs also the one to kill henry, he doesnât hesitate to go in the smoke hole, despite his asthma, he lost his dad at a young age and his mom emotionally abused him and lied to him his whole life yet he was still such a kind, selfless human being, and at one point his mom is literally scared of him because he finally stood up to her and wouldnât back down, he literally manipulates her into letting him stay with his friends if he keeps taking his fake medicine. as an adult he marries a woman who he doesnât love, only because she reminds him of his mother. he never gets to truly experiment and discover himself due to the blatant fear of homophobia his mother instilled in him but does that make him bitter and stop him from being any less loving towards others? hell no. he is also the navigator of the group and leads the losers through the sewers, he even uses his inhaler to fight pennywise by turning it into battery acid, which shouldâve been in the damn movie by the way. speaking of the movie, eddie continues to kick ass. he slaps the shit out of pennywise with a broken arm, he does the absolute MOST for his friends like he barely knew ben yet he was the first to run to him and help him, he barely knew mike but he fought for him like hell during the rock war, he barely knew beverly but he defied his mother the second he heard she was in trouble, and at the end fight scene he is the only one without a weapon and instead uses all of his chaotic energy to kick pennywise right in the face. eddie fucking kaspbrak does NOT have a SINGLE weak bone in his tiny little body and i would personally like to fight anyone who thinks otherwise.
