What are the losers biggest Flaws? Like with me,Ik you don’t care but imma say it anyway..I’m too nice to the point where I let people walk over me.
That’s a good not!flaw you can use in job interviews! Especially if your position is overseen by management, they love to hear that you’ll follow orders and do more than is expected of you.
Anyway this is kind of a combination of the book and the movie?
Bill’s biggest flaw is impulsivity. This is linked to his near suicidal self hatred. He’ll jump pussy first into any situation without fucking thinking because he has never had a brain! He puts himself and his friends in danger in all three incarnations of the story because of this.
Richie’s biggest flaw is that he doesn’t know when to stop. He can’t seem to read a room, and he’s always pulling out just the wrong thing to say in any given situation. He makes each of the Losers mad at him at some point or another, and he rarely seems to self reflect on his actions.
Eddie’s biggest flaw is his tendency to coddle himself. Eddie doesn’t think he can do things, and it creates a feedback loop where he can’t do things because he psyches himself out. There’s so many points where Eddie has stepped up and was brave and active but he refuses to recognize what that means.
Stan’s biggest flaw is his stubbornness. He has a rigid worldview and he refuses to compromise, and it causes him to have outbursts and mental breakdowns. Instead of listening to his friends he just dismisses their stories out of hand, this causes him to feel separate from them, which is shockingly not great for social cohesion? If you’re wondering why Stan feels like he doesn’t like the Losers it’s because he’s bad at integrating himself because he’s bad at being open minded and trusting people!
Mike’s biggest flaw is his naivete. I hate that the movie made his character arc be about growing a pair and inflicting violence on another living being, but that’s what it is. Mike has nothing to do in the movie, so in the book, his flaw is basically yours. He’s too nice. He gives people the benefit of the doubt and he lets people use him. I’m thinking he’s aware of how race plays into that dynamic as well (he may well be trying to avoid racist interactions by doing this, or maybe he wills himself into believing his white friends would never hurt or betray him).
Ben’s biggest flaw is he tries to isolate himself. He resigns himself to not having friends. He doesn’t even know what loneliness is because it doesn’t occur to him that having zero friends isn’t good for a developing child. Also in the movie, he’s very nervous about the Losers seeing his room because he wants them to like him. He’s not confident in his passions.
Bev’s biggest flaw is her self loathing. In the book especially but in the movie too, she blames herself for Tom’s abuse. She blames her father for his abuse too. She provokes the school bullies because Bev doesn’t bother thinking she deserves better. Bev has trouble showing kindness to others because she doesn’t know how to show it to herself, because it’s rarely been shown to her. Which is why I’m still screaming that the movie did nothing to show how Stan specifically was always proactive in making Bev feel included and valued and loved like they’re friends and we barely got that in the movies. Anyway the movie is subtly different from the book, because she’s a more active character now. But I think that’s why Pennywise tried to take her (and succeeded) specifically. She was the most emotionally vulnerable/damaged.
