Also, having a turtle in the show in any fashion (like the turtle charm on Lily\u2019s bracelet) is a nod of sorts to Maturin, a space turtle and one of the guardians of the Bean in King\u2019s The Dark Tower<\/em>. He\u2019s the opposite of evil Pennywise, and that frightens this chaotic clown to bits. It certainly seems to do Lilly some good considering she didn\u2019t get shredded to bits in the theater\u2026<\/p>\nPhil\u2019s Nerdy Wall\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe are in the room of Phil, a young conspiracy theorist, and he\u2019s quite the sci-fi nerd. Two of the movie posters on his wall were for Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> (1954) and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (<\/em>1956). The first is about a mysterious being and a group of professional people (in this case, scientists) who want to find out what it is. We know that the military is present in Derry and that Pennywise is lurking somewhere nearby as well. Maybe there will be soldiers who go looking for something strange and find more than what they bargained for. The latter film is, of course, an alien invasion epic, which sounds very adjacent to Pennywise\u2019s overall origin story of a being that came to Earth. We will surely get more specifics on that origin story soon.<\/p>\nTeddy\u2019s DC Comics Nod to Pennywise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nDC Comics<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
In the series, young Teddy Uris (the uncle of Stanley Uris in the original\u00a0It<\/em>), is a big comic book fan. We see him reading two DC Comics in particular\u20141961\u2019s\u00a0The Flash<\/em>\u00a0#123 and\u00a0Detective Comics<\/em>\u00a0#298. We could see this as a shoutout to Muschietti\u2019s previous work for Warner Bros., 2023\u2019s\u00a0The Flash<\/em>, since that movie featured both Flash and Batman.<\/p>\nHowever, the story in that\u00a0Flash<\/em>\u00a0comic, \u201cThe Flash of Two Worlds,\u201d initiated the DC Multiverse. And the Batman story introduced the second villainous Clayface, who could change shape, kind of like Pennywise. Alternate universes and shapeshifting villains feel very Pennywise to us.<\/p>\nWelcome to Famous Downtown Derry Locations\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere\u2019s a brief scene panning the main street in downtown Derry, and a couple of businesses are recognizable. There\u2019s Bangor Chew, a tobacco store that nods to the city of Bangor, and Jade Orient Chop Suey Chinese Restaurant, which is a place in the IT<\/em> novel where a Losers\u2019 Club reunion happens. There\u2019s also Machen\u2019s sporting goods, which is likely a nod to Arthur Machen, a writer who had a profound influence on King. That\u2019s also the name of a store that is in one of IT<\/em>\u2019s written interludes, making it yet another Derry Easter egg.<\/p>\n\n\nHBO Max<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cTheme from a Summer Place\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis 1959 tune from the film A Summer Place <\/em>that plays while Charlotte Hanlon walks down the very white streets of Derry is interesting. The song is symbolic of (white) mid-America easy listening, yet she\u2019s incredibly aware of her surroundings and intense in contrast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":".cls-2{fill:#9d342c} Welcome to Derry, everyone.
