In honor of Halloween, we are returning to our favorite space alien and supernatural creature, Pennywise the clown from IT. Today we are focusing specifically on IT Chapter 2 and the Ritual of Chüd. I've seen people cover a lot of the details in this movie but there is something I think EVERYONE missed! You see, the Losers did not defeat Pennywise. The creepy clown HIMSELF ensured his own demise, and I'm about to tell you how!

    Pennywise: *Kills Eddie The rest of the losers club: Congratulations, you played yourself.
  • @austrager7765
    The fact that Georgie's paper boat survived all that time in the sewer without disintegrating from all the water is even more scary than Pennywise
  • @jesusgarcia5013
    Pennywise: I'm back Losersclub: bigforehead Pennywise: Dies
  • @cheshirekit1824
    This is the most tragic coming out story ever seriously though, what a tragic story, your loved one has to die for you to realise what they mean to you.
  • @Beeezledrop
    This is one of your strongest theories. This and Agent Smith being the true One. This one is so good I've accepted it as cannon and by proxy IT Chapter 2 is a much better movie for it. Well done Matpat.
  • Fails to kill Pennywise in IT Chapter 1 Pennywise: "Fine, I'll do it myself"
  • Honestly I understand how hard and scary it would have been for Richie to admit his feelings for Eddie, but if he had told him, his arcade token would have worked bc it’s overcoming his fear of not being accepted so Eddie could have theoretically lived.

    My dad was reading the book, then after he made sling shots with his friends riding bikes looking for Pennywise.

    Nobody: Richie: your my true Tolkien Eddie Eddie: chuckles I'm in danger
  • @A68061
    Eddy: I got an inhaler Richie: I got a token Bill: I got a paper boat Bev: I got a haiku Mike: ...I got a rock :(
  • @xhappy_life
    MatPat: Makes up a complicated theory on why the ritual didn't work Me: And here I was, thinking that the real reason was because rocks don't burn
  • @lepie6843
    Eddie was richies true token. My cold little heart is breaking

    "Pennywise beat Pennywise" "I used the stones to destroy the stones"
  • @avadonald9819
    Pennywise: exists Lozers: Ok boomer Pennywise: dies
  • @hineraable
    Wait! I just remember something, when Mike says that the ritual of Chüd requires a sacrifice, Richie immediately says that they should sacrifice Eddie, he was joking of course but could this be some type of foreshadowing?
  • I’m scared of clowns and horror movies, but one of my best friends has an OBSESSION with the movie IT. This helped me understand the ending and a bit of the plot. Thanks matpat!
