(IT: WELCOME TO DERRY SPOILERS) Is it delusional of me to genuinely believe that Phil malkin in IT: Welcome to Derry is alive? Like, in horror continuality is VERYYY important, and pennywise can teleport, we know that. So there is a good time gap from the mutant baby tackling Phil and going after Susie, and of course, factoring in mechanism of injury, Phil got tackled with force went down on the floor chest first and we heard the breath get knocked out of him, its not hard to believe it would be easy for pennywise to like, teleport him to the sewer and come back or just teleport him and him only while going after Susie. And while Pennywise doesn't often take "Trophies", he has before, Beverly Marsh is an example, he didn't eat her, he could've but he didn't, he can eat people who aren't afraid but he decided not to and put her in the Deadlights instead. And as someone who has Read the book, seen the miniseries, both the movies and now the series, I think I'm qualified to talk about it. The Deadlights are also mentioned in the book, if I can remember correctly, it was like being pulled out of your body and like your soul being dragged through the universe, so its not the first time he has put someone in the Deadlights as a trophy or to keep them for later. Also in E2 (SPOILER ALERT) in Lily's illusion with the ceral boxes, we see teddy and susie are decayed, But Matty and Phil are not, which is interesting, we know he can portray dead people as alive but he doesn't do it often, its in his range but not his first choice. I'm 50/50 on Matty being alive, I think its probable but not likely. But like I PLEAD THAT PHIL LIVES PLEASE
