I made this account to express my thoughts.
I am a huge fan of horror (very critical of it too).
There will ALWAYS be spoilers.

Victor was also the most likable dude in the Bower's gang because he was the most sane. Idk why they undermined him both times...

I know the remake is more of a reimagined because far too many elements are changed, and tbh I'm a huge fan of most of the decisions. This is to say, I know it's virtually a completely different universe, but knowing what happens between Henry and Patrick in the novel, I just can't fucking see it.

I wanna think that maybe the actors were unavailable both times, but it's one hell of a coincidence. I kinda respect the decision the miniseries did with doing Belch instead because both Victor and Belch were his ride or die friends, but fucking Patrick in the remake? Are we for fucking real?

I like King's ideas, I think he's good at coming up with interesting concepts... my hot take is... he's not good with the execution.

It's a 1500+ pages book and I just feel like if he had been in a sound mind it could've been shorter. There are some parts that just feel so unnecessary. The entire part of Henry and his gang farting with such detail was NOT necessary, I swear to God.

I haven't gotten to THAT part yet, so I can't comment about it, but you can almost smell the cocaine and alcohol in the book. Like, the guy was NOT in a good place when he wrote it. Granted, I am reading it in Spanish, so it is not lost in me that some things could've been lost in translation.

There's a certain part where he starts describing some fucking pheromone shit going on between her and her dad and it's just fucking weird. Again, the way he paints Beverly in the book just fucking feels wrong and I gotta hand it to the girl in the video that she was spot on.

The way he describes Ben's experience at the library felt a little demeaning tbh, as if he were poking fun at him. Beverly's however, are completely different. EVERYONE in the book sexualizes her, including the Losers club. It is even heavily implied that even her dad does.

It is actually very uncomfortable. I know people excuse it as "w-well, the story has some 'coming of age' elements to it, duh" but it's not that... it doesn't feel that way. The way he describes things happening to Beverly feel weird, like they are not coming from that perspective specifically.

Credit where credit is due, and I know she wasn't the first one to say this, but she was on point when she talked about how much King seems to sexualize Beverly. He does mention some things about the other kids, like Ben, but every time he mentions her specifically there has to be something.

but it's still easy to understand what's wrong with him. I am no psychologist, I only have a surface level understanding and interest, but it also kinda seemed like he had other deep-rooted psychological issues that made him come up with such a twisted interpretation of his own existence.

King actually does a semi-decent work describing what is actually going on with him though, and it is so simple that I am actually baffled at how she didn't understand right away: he suffers from ASPD. I know he explained it with terminology very used back in the day (sociopath/psychopath)-

Another example is how she, SOMEHOW, interpreted Patrick's situation as him "being aware of what was going on in Derry, and that's why he thought he was the only 'real' person." How??? How do you come to such a convoluted conclusion?

Again, I say "interpreted" but she stated it as a fact in her video. I still don't see how anyone could think Eddie and Richie had feelings for each other in the book, but it's OK if they wanna interpret it that way. Power to them.

On this same topic, she also, somehow, interpreted Eddie as being gay and Richie bi. I'd honestly argue that a better interpretation would be the other way around, as Richie had trouble settling down with his ex, but Eddie is very clear and straightforward about genuinely loving his wife.

Hell, it would even make more sense if people interpret Eddie being in love with Bill. He idolizes him so much, whenever he tries to be brave he even pictures what Bill would do in that situation. Never mind that tho, as most of the Losers seem to idolize Bill (especially Beverly).

Their interactions are also very limited and it usually ends up with Eddie feeling frustrated with Richie's antics. I'm not saying he dislikes Richie, he clearly loves him as his dear friend. What I'm saying is that in the book it just doesn't feel like they were that close at all.

I am actually one of the people who liked that interpretation in the remake. I thought it was sweet and tragic at the same time but, once again, it's just that, an INTERPRETATION. Being honest, I don't see where people get this from. Eddie and Richie don't actually share that many scenes together.

I even remember very vividly that she said that Richie would tease Eddie calling him pet names and that Eddie "secretly loved it." Once again, where is this coming from? How can you know he secretly loved it? Because you think he did?

Let's point out the fact that King himself said it wasn't intended but that it was OK to interpret their relationship that way. Once again, the key word we're using is "interpret." She didn't say she was choosing to interpret it that way, she said it WAS what was happening.

Let's go over some things: the first one is how she said that it was a fact that Eddie and Richie clearly had feelings for each other in the book and that it was intended for them to be interpreted this way.

Once again, nothing wrong with that. It's OK to interpret a book the way you want if the author leaves room for that, the problem is that she stated that all her interpretations were facts. That they were how everything happened and how King intended to write them.

The only problem is that now that I know what she was talking about I realize that she made an entire 1 hour+ video talking about "facts" about the way things happen in the book with like 80% of those facts being pure interpretations.
