You see Derry or It (Pennywise’s identity thief) makes you forget when you leave the town or, you know, whenever it’s convenient to the plot.
Several people stick around despite all the sweet killer clown PTSD. Also, the thing with the small town, mass-murdering hate group, the Hanlans came from the 1960s south so Derry’s hate group was actually an improvement.
They actually decide to settle outside of town, hopefully to avoid the significant part of IT’s influence while hoping to minimize the damage IT does.
Unfortunately, Will dies in a fire and this fundamentally changes Leroy who also loses his wife at some point in the future, turning him into a much angrier and distrusting version of himself. When Mike (Will’s son and loser club member) starts experiencing IT, Leroy is vaguely aware of what he’s talking about, but basically tells him to not try and help the townspeople and keep himself out of it because that thing will kill Mike since he’s not strong enough to survive (more or less)
I haven't watched the show but in the book It is shown to make people ignore horrible things constantly. There's one guy that took an axe and killed several people in a bar and everyone else just kept acting like nothing is happening even when a head rolled to their feet.
They stay in town because there are not that many people who could do this task. Without spoiling anything major, they are there to ensure IT doesn't escape the town.
The real problem is the movie universe fucked with the dates of things. This story in the book is what Mike Hanlon's father tells him on his death bed in 1962 and the Black Spot incident story doesn't actually have a cast of characters nor is the military trying to harness It's power. The incident in the book was supposed to have happened in 1930 and Pennywise's involvement is just to appear as a massive bird hovering over the fire with balloons on its wings at the end of the story.
I prefer the Derrys lore in the book.. IT just kinda lingers over major events - I didn’t like how the series had him be seen by so many adults - and the military plot was awful.
yeah in both the book and the movies a big point is that adults can’t/won’t see pennywise most of the time. and altho it’s influence contributes to these events it doesn’t directly cause anything most of the time, it’s just sort of there hanging out. other stephen king works imply that even after it is dead, derry is still rotten inside. the show was good, but i think it made pennywise too powerful and also too visible
I hate this show, not because it's so bad itself, but because good acting, nice camera work and even fun "scary" scenes (CGI was subpar, but I still liked the designs) were wasted by an absolutely atrocious script.
I just woke up and with my blurred vision i thought this was an image from a key and peele sketch. I also misread IT as ET and thought that they finally made a remake
This is a reference to modern homeowners being locked into a piece of property when they have low interest loan and must endure the horrors of the world because they cannot afford to move.
Derry’s real estate agent must be the greatest salesman alive ignore the murder clown, great school district
Well the clown is actually great because your kid will move up in the class rankings as the other kids get murdered.
Is Derry Girls the prequel? That show was funny.
My girlfriend asked the same thing when I put this show on.
I said yes, but she caught on pretty quickly. Lol
Yeah, Pennywise is basically the English.

To be fair they probably weren't expecting the space clown
This post is about the ending, when Hanlons decided to stay in the town after all the horrors.
Ohhh ok

It is Derry and It is making people ignore It.
Nah, in the show, they stay for an actual purpose, not because they're ignoring it.

It's 1962 the first half is most cities nearby

They've faced so much intolerance that they couldn't stand to be lactose intolerant themselves by rejecting Derry.

Tbf not like they really know about the killer clown that shows up once each 27 years
It's quite the opposite actually. This is the end of the season.
They stay because of the killer clown
Ohhhh yeah I forgot about that, morons tbh but it's needed for the movies
This is because people in horror movies tend to have the opposite of self preservation instincts.

well they had to live somewhere..
It really makes no sense other than the whole, “welp, gotta keep the wife happy” aspect.
She wanted to stay and he just said, “fuck it, guess we live here now.”
It just makes the mortgage THAT much affordable
He has no fear lol

They know Pennywise is not dealt with, just sleeping. The fools think they can actually help, like the Indian group, keep Pennywise contained.
He didn’t know about IT. And given it’s Maine I wouldn’t have guessed any racism. It’s literally as north as possible.
Him and his family knew a lot about IT and had survived a lot of racial abuse already
