Military fucked around and pennywise using not even 1% of its power turned the town into a living hell 
I love how they don't sugarcoat the fuckery

i got a kick out of Dick's headgames with Pennywise. the push that "no, you're not some extra dimensional ageless predator from beyond the stars, you're just some unremarkable guy who hit his head and has grand delusions" is pretty funny. lioe pennywise never bought it, but was obviously confused for a minute.
referring to earlier episodes, i like how nick explained to the major why he wasn't the type of guy he would ever mess with: his inability to feel fear when they tested him. thats the type of shit that hooked me into the season.
Dick's mind games were bloody good. I like it because he flipped the script on pennywise who's whole game is mven if for just a second that was impressive and pennywise is not used to having this turned on him.
What hooked me is.... Wtf was the military gonna do with a creature of that magnitude. Then it went how I expected. I don't think people grasp how powerful penny wise really is. That shit we see is just an avatar and the true form is probably Stephen King's version of parallax
Now that I think of it I forgot how much of Stephen Kings stuff has happy endingsm maybe its because I read revival recently.
Tbh I hope the later seasons don't over explain things. Lore is ait but horror.... You gotta leave some things to the imagination
