So to get the straightened out before we start when I say the killings in IT I don't mean Georgie, Pactrick, Belch, or even Betty Ribpsom. When I say that I mean the people that die by accident or by suicide and what I mean by that is I want to talk about Eddie and Stan's death.
So in the book and original movie Stan get's a call from Mike who still lives in Derry, this 27 or 30 years, depends on which one you think, book and remake its 27 years, in the original movie its 30, after the losers clubs beats Mr.Bob Grey the first time. He calls Stan to inform him that IT has returned and he must come back to Derry to fight IT again. He says he will definitely consider coming back and then goes "Yeah, Yeah I'll, uh definitely consider it." or something like that.
Well, he then head upstairs,  where he tales a bath and ultimately ends Jo committing suicide by slicing his wrists and for arms in the shape of capital T's is what the book said. It also say that he wrote the word 'IT' in his own blood on the side of the bathtub .
Scene below.


I feel like there was no need for this. Like I understand that every book or book series has it's deaths but still, WHY STAN!!!!
Some people say that he just held the group back and was a weak link and I will say that he way a little weaker and move afraid than the rest of every one but still, he was an amazing character and desevers so much more tham was given to him. I mean there is literally a scene where they are, in lack of better words, making fun of him.

Scene is below


I feel like, even if the author kills off the character he should still be given respect so all of you Stan haters out there best just move right along because.....

Stan the Man is my BABY!

Now that I have gotten my point across on Stan, even though, I could go on for hours it is time to transfer to Eddie. Now im not gonna lie, I REALLY didn't see this coming AT ALL and I know when IT chapter 2 comes out I will be bawling, not only when my Eddie spaghetti dies but also when my Stany does too! Hell, I cried watching the first part when pennywise turns into Georgie at the end and teases Bill.
Scene below

Sad right, yeah my dad teased me about that for days.
Anyway, back on track, if I am remembering correctly, Eddie dies near the end of the movie. He, unlike Stan does, makes it back to Derry though and gets rather close to beating the Devil along side Bill, Bev, Ben, and Richie seeing as though Mike had been put in the hospital do to the fact that Henry Bowers, after escaping Juniper Hill, a mental hospital, stabbed him before dying him self. That can also be complicated depending if you've read the book of not. In the book Eddie kills Henry with a glass bottle after coming after him in his hotel room but in the original movie im pretty sure Mike Kills him.
Anyway, Eddie died from falling from IT's pinchers when he (technically she) gets hit with a silver dollar by Beverly. Although I'm not sure cause I am not 100% done with the book but I think he might have died from a mix of the fall and and Asthma attack.
This bothered me because once again there was no reason for this death, Eddie is a very well loved character by all fans in both the 2017 and 1990 IT fandom.
He helped introduce Bill to Ben and vise versa, he helped "kill" Pennywise by spraying him with his inhaler, or aspirator as they call it in the book.
Scene down below.



There is always a good reason behind killing off a specific character rather it is to advance the plot, reach the goal of the story, or to kill off a weak link.
In this case I really think Stephen King was doing a little of all of them.
Killing him as if to advance the plot I don't feel was Stephen King's main goal in all of this even though I does kill off what most consider a "weak link" in the losers club.
I honestly think, in the case that he was trying to reach the goal of the story, this was not one if the reasons why he killed him because the ultimatum of the story was to kill Pennywise.
Also any Eddie haters best back off because......

Eddie spaghetti is my other baby!

Anyways, in the end of it all I really didn't see the logic behind Killing off Eddie, even though I did see some behind Stan.
He just couldn't believe that IT was real, or as he would say, "That's just not imperiacly possible."

Any way guys, thank you so much for listening to, yet again one of my many many many rants here on Wattpad. Until next time.

 Until next time
