Funniest shit is that this is basically how IT was eventually defeated. By being ridiculed and laughed at.
Well, that and a preteen orgy (“no, it was a train!”, yes I know).
That’s why he could only watch the disrespect: The very act robbed him of the power he weilded. In that moment, he was nothing more powerful than a human stuck in a sewer, watching a child literally shit on the thought of playing with him.
Thank you for succinctly summing up why this scene was powerful and not just smut for the heck of it. A lot of people have issues with that scene but this is the exact reason it’s in there.
You know more than I do. I attempted to read the book at one point, but my sister stole it so I didn’t get that far, and wasn’t invested enough to track the book down as an adult, or watch either movie.

The orgy thing was less effective with my IT. Told us to get dressed and clean out our desks instead.
You probably forgot the furry suits. It isn’t a proper IT orgy unless everyone is in their furry suit.
IT wouldn’t survive a cod lobby
It will be dead the moment it log into twitter

Wait what
Stephen King did a lot of cocaine and alcohol back in the day. Apparently he doesn’t remember writing portions of some books, and one entire book.
But yeah, he wrote a scene that devolves into a preteen orgy, that helps defeat the giant spider with poor self esteem.
Uhhh. Am I wrong? I thought they defeated the evil spider, got lost, preteen train, THEN they find the will to press on and get out?
