I got a plan. Getting the fuck out of dodge... before this ends worse than one of Bill's books. Who's with me? [Mike: We made a promise to each other.] Let's un-make the promise. [Ben: Richie, other people are gonna die.] Other people die every day, man! We don't owe this town shit! Plus, I just remembered I grew up here, like, two hours ago. So, I'm fucking leaving. Fuck this.

I can’t believe I forgot to post this here-

March 8th is Richie’s Tozier bday. My son of 50 years old❤️‍🩹

Referring to the children as losers isn’t just a wink that links them to the Losers; in a way, it isn’t addressing Will, Ronnie, Marge, and Lily at all. It is addressing the future Losers. It’s saying: here I am, Losers, about to kill you before you’re even born. Now you really have lost. But it messes up in the same way that makes it lose the first time. When Rich’s spirit appears and flips it off, it’s basically saying: fuck you, bitch, don’t you remember? You can’t beat us when we’re together — not now, not in 27 years, not 27 years after that. You never can when we all unite.

And that’s the moment when it’s truly screwed, when the smile disappears from its face. It’s fucking cinema.

if IT and Maturin are meant to be absolute opposites, and Maturin is said to be wise and slow in his actions/decisions, then it would make sense for IT to be impulsive and unwise (wouldn't go as far as say it's dumb), so it would make sense how many chances it lost to win in the finale.

IT could've easily used those wings and flown past the tree without much issue, he would've bested the humans in a second. But he stopped to fight them and brag in their faces how he was about to be free, he made a whole spectacle of it. Every bad move it's done in the final battle was because it was unwise, in a way.

IT is very childish, not just when it's a clown. IT holds resentment and pettiness towards specific people. Like when it went back to Francis because it remembered it did not get to eat him as a child, wasting time scaring him and biting his face when it could've left that for later. Or when it gave a whole monologue (addicted to giving monologues tbh) to Marge instead of just killing her and preventing Richie from being born.

I get the whole fear making the meat tastier, but there were occasions where it would've been smarter for IT to just kill someone. IT is driven by greed and gluttony and that is a great weakness too.

Ironically (or maybe intentionally), he's like the hare from The Tortoise and the Hare, overconfident in its victory and getting distracted on the path, while the tortoise (the humans) kept persevering and at last reached the finish line first.

If the theory of him being trapped in a sort of time loop and being unable to be free of it is true, then this could also be the reason why it hasn't successfully killed the parents of the losers, and possibly the parents of the parents and so on every time it goes back.

Or maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's fun to see it that way.
