"Mature Content Warning!" |
It, otherwise known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, is the main antagonist of the It film duology.
He is portrayed by Bill Skarsgard.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- It is an ancient, eldritch being who crashes into the land that would eventually become Derry, Maine. Knowing that humans would one day come about, It puts itself into a cycle where it would sleep for 27 years. During that time, It would feed on the children of Derry resulting in thousands disappearing throughout the town's history. Of particular note was the young Georgie Denbrough making him the archenemy of Bill.
- It has influenced several people in Derry primarily to where they do not investigate the mysterious disappearances of the children. When the Losers Club confront It, It manipulates Henry Bowers into killing his own father (not counting him also killing his friends in a deleted scene).
- It is the most heinous antagonist in the films who takes sick kicks out of psychologically abusing his victims because the fear makes them tastier. It torments Bill with Georgie's death; kills and devours a child in front of Bill just to deepen his guilt; he kills a girl after promising that It would remove the birthmark on her face. It is implied that It does not even have to eat the children and could subsist on their fear. When It is not feeding, It acts like a bully and harasses the Losers Club throughout the film duology.
- It has a wide range of supernatural powers such as its telepathy and shapeshifting. It reads the minds of its victims to figure out their greatest fear and takes the form of it. It also is capable of reality manipulation and controls vegetation among other feats.
