tbf, a billionaire right in front of you isnt that scary even if thats what you’re afraid of, its the abstracted effects of their power and actions. A billionaire right in front of you in the flesh is something you can physically harm with your own two fists alone, a widespread system is not.

How about a billionaire in some sort of bulletproof pope mobile surrounded by an army of security who all happen to be people who didn’t qualify to become cops?

Funny thing about “bulletproof” glass is not all bullets are created equal

Well in this comic it seems like he clearly gets bummed and has empathy unlike a billionaire

That’s what you say, but if Elon Musk was in front of me, I’d be terrified that he’d do one of his many failed attempts at being funny.

They hurt. They really hurt.

Maybe if the kids stayed in the town and “IT” was in the town factory destroying the town water, air, and making indentured servitude.

I was expecting the clown to tell him that they are the same person but from the future.

The cost of living is so high that you’re required to work multiple shifts across multiple timelines just to afford a -420 sqft⁴ apartment.

This is actually the plot of the book IIRC. Pennywise can’t become the fears of adults because they’re too abstract, so he preys on children. Which is what leads to him being defeated by a child orgy

Woah, woah, woah! The child orgy helps them find their way out after defeating ol’ pennyboy the first time and getting lost. The power of friendship (and some help from Gan) is what does the trick. Let’s get our fictional facts straight here.

Is it really an orgy, though? More like running a train, right?

I don’t know why I felt I should start a discussion about the semantics here, so don’t ask me about that.
