Stephen King’s Pennywise Prequel Should Avoid It: Chapter 2 Taboo
It won’t be easy for Welcome To Derry to create a compelling story when viewers already know that Pennywise survives the prequel series and – since he’s an inter-dimensional entity that can follow people anywhere – this means the show’s new characters likely won’t. This means that It’s prequel will be darker than the original movies no matter what approach the creators take, and thus, the last thing the series needs is the death of child characters to amp up the tragedy. The reason that Georgie’s death works in It: Chapter 1 is because the movie hits viewers with a shocking, gruesome sight in the opening scene, but then never has to repeat this tragic moment. For the rest of It: Chapter 1’s action, viewers are under no illusion about what Pennywise is capable of.
This, ironically, means he doesn’t need to kill off any other kids onscreen to be consistently threatening. It: Chapter 2 took the exact opposite approach, with Pennywise proving comically ineffectual when trying to attack the grown-up Losers Club (as proven why Eddie’s infamously silly “Angel of the Morning” face-off) but jarringly, horrifically efficient at killing off innocent kids. Like Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger, the villain became too powerful and too comedic at the same time, resulting in an uneven sequel. However, where It: Chapter 2 could at least provide audiences with a satisfying ending, Welcome To Derry must end with the heroes defeated and Pennywise still alive for the series to function as an It prequel, meaning the last thing the show needs is to throw some child death in and make proceedings even more depressingly hopeless.
