What a character!! Imagine the anguish of having the gift 🤯

Excellently translated on screen!

Could dick halloranns presence in it welcome to Derry and the use of the shine from dick and pennywise lay the groundwork for a cinematic universe ?

And what would you like to see on the big screen ?

Is Pennywise like Savitar from CW’s Flash? No beginning or end, he just exists at all times?

Is he omnipresent, or omniscience?

To be honest there are some parts from the show that felt kind of distracting. The show isn't perfect and there are some things that they really need to improve on.

Like the Loser's Club and their dynamic with each other for example because the show really wanted you to believe that the main group are really close friends ,but the main problem is that the vast majority of them are just bickering with each other. Veronica literally spent the entire show just bickering and chastising Lilly and Marge. Even then they basically have their separate friend group. Rich and Will are really close with each other, so does Lilly and Marge with each other. Veronica and Will are a couple so of course they have chemistry. Rich and Marge are also a couple so they're also closed. The issue is that I never get a sense that the main group actually had an actual chemistry. So what's the relationship and dynamic Veronica has with Marge, Rich and Lilly? Like remotely nothing all because she spent the entire show just bickering with Lilly and Marge. Was Lilly even close with Rich and Will at all? Not remotely at all because she barely interacted with them. The main issue is that they never felt like a true friend group at all compared to the original Loser's Club. My advice to Andy Muschietti is to rewatch Stand by Me. Like I know he did an amazing job with the dynamic between the original Loser's Club ,but I want him to get back to the basics. He needs to switch up the character interactions so that the group will actually feel like an actual friend group instead of a 3 separate friend group within a larger friend group.

I also think Andy also needs to moderate the use of CGI and use more practical because the cemetery scene was just awful to look at. I think one of the best sequence from the entire show has to be the Veronica's Momster sequence because combination between the use of practical sets and CGI was smooth as fuck. Everything about it was just damn amazing to look at. They used CGI for some things that practical sets can't be replicated with physical sets and they used practical sets for things that they can easily do without relying on CGI. If they did the same thing for the Pickle Monster like using CGI for his transformation sequence ,but used practical sets and makeup when he's fully formed then the criticism about the Pickle Monster won’t be as common. Like cmon there was no reason at all to use CGI for the Pickle Monster face inside the Pickle Jar. They could have used a prosthetic head inside a hollow jar and just have the glass  around it to be hollow enough to fill it with pickle juice to create an illusion that a human head is indeed inside a filled Pickle Jar. There are so many creative ways to combine practical sets and CGI ,but Andy never seemed to utilize it and was completely dependent on the CGI for the vast majority of the time. Like the ghost kids had no reason at all to be CGI and funny enough they actually filmed the actor who played Teddy doing the stunt on that exact same scene while he was being filmed ,but Andy decided to just replace him with CGI completely. Also they were on the actual cemetary too ,but he decided to replace it with a CGI landscape for some reason. Like if he doesn't have the budget to create that sequence then just rewrite the entire damn scene to be more compatible with the budget.

If Andy improves on those two things then season 2 will be alot better. Probably way better than season 1 even thou I actually loved season 1 despite its flaws.
