How well does the sequel to 2017’s It adapt Stephen King’s classic novel while tying up all the loose ends from the first installment? Let’s roll up our sleeves, wade into the sewers and dig into the details of how the saga ends. This is the ending of It: Chapter Two explained.
And before you open the door labeled “very scary,” be warned: Spoilers await you.
Stephen King’s novel It isn’t just the story of a creepy clown terrorizing some kids and then returning to do it all over again when they’re adults. There’s a whole cosmology to the saga, which includes a giant, godlike turtle that coughed up the known universe when it had a tummy ache. Aside from a few subtle nods here and there, the movies mostly sidestep the ancient, interdimensional mythology of the book, but one element does show up in It: Chapter Two – the true form of It.
When he goes to visit the Shokopiwah tribe and takes one of their vision-granting concoctions, Mike learns that It came to Earth in a meteor strike that left a crater in Derry, and is made up of “Deadlights,” mostly orange but sometimes-blue spheres of light of immense power. Though the lights can be seen in brief moments in the first film, It appears entirely as deadlights as Chapter Two reaches its climax, and even after taking on other forms, the deadlights are still visibly powering the creature, becoming increasingly weaker as the Losers literally bring It down to size.
It’s true form is revealed because the Losers perform the Ritual of Chüd, a ceremony that differs pretty wildly in the movie from the way it works in the book. The movie’s take on the ritual involves each member of the club burning a “token” of his or her childhood and reciting a chant to make the Deadlights turn dark, then trapping the Deadlights inside a pyramid-shaped relic Mike stole.
The ritual is the key to defeating It in the book, though it takes two tries 27 years apart. But the Losers’ attempt essentially fails in the movie, at least at first. That’s because it’s revealed Mike lied to everyone in an attempt to simply bring them all back together. The ritual wasn’t successful before when the Native Americans tried to do it, and it doesn’t kill It when the Losers try it this time, either. At least, not until they’ve gone through the wringer just a little bit more so they can truly overcome the fears that feed It. Keep watching the video to see the ending of It: Chapter Two explained!

How did you like IT: Chapter Two?
Top Most Same jk it was good but I ain’t scared
It was awful
I liked the movie. But i find the ending a little bit boring. They just say words to him and thats makes him weak. I hoped more about a hardcore fight between good and evil
Terrible movie! The first one was much better! They really blew it on this one
shit was good af
The Real McKoy: They got your $15 you fool, haha!
@Dr. Ray De Angelo Harris it only cost me about $8 lol. they ripped you off
@R6Siege LiveStream movie tickets are $7 flat where I’m from, most expensive ticket is $14 which is IMAX
@Dr. Ray De Angelo Harris oh okay. well they got ripped off then lmao
It was worth it
Plus I got some ? after
Jokes on you, i have a movie pass so for $19 a month i get to watch 12 movies a month. Including Dolby Digital, Imax (both with the reclining seats) or regular digital at any AMC theatre i desire. ☺
It Chapter One: *Time to float*
It Chapter Two: *TIME TO SINK*
That line in that scene was hilarious
So I guess this explains what it, really is.
David Tristan He got bit or eaten by Pennywise! He even did the ‘projector scene’ face in the movie!
It chapter three: time to drown
??, the ending really weak man.
Bill Skarsgård was the best pick for Pennywise.
Dustin Woodworth yo wtf ??
FINALLY A GOOD HUMAN BEING
onherblackwings Tim curry was not scary at all
Efrain Ortiz Nah I cant see him as IT
Antonella he is a good pennywise but the original will always be my favorite
I always enjoy these videos about IT, keep it up!
Dude, just carry around a pet turtle and the killer clown will leave you alone. Problem solved! ?
Due ur a genius
One of the kids should have had a pet turtle
?
I didnt see them pull out a turtle i
I was waiting for that
Would’ve made more sense if Eddie were scared of obese dominating moms..
Now, there’s a version of Pennywise you don’t even want to think about.
@Brody Morris Okay, so humour is not your strongest suit, duly noted.
Pooptopia
He loved his mama. So much that he ended up marrying her…(his wife Myra, briefly seen in the film, is played by the same actress that played his mom. Yikes…)
@Scott LaMont Eeewww!
@Brody Morris do you go outside much? It was a joke
C.H.U.D? Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers?
Good movie.
Glad I’m not the only one who said that when name popped up lol and yes it is a good movie
Man thats going back
That movie did shit to my brain as a kid
Crystal Blue Chinese Humans Under Denmark
Lol loved that movie
It was a good film, preferred the first one. I’m just sad about we won’t see anymore of Pennywise. He was so fucking cool
@GamerBros np dude
The hell is wrong with you
mak3yasmiil3 what u mean,
Same. I preferred the first one as well. It was well directed, had amazing cinematography, and great dialogues. It was scary too. The second one didn’t scare me as much.
It was. I wish there were more scenes of Pennywise! I felt he didn’t show as much compared to the 1st part. Overall I did highly enjoyed the film!
Bill skarsgard is a beast, he went through so much for this role! Major props!
Makayla Marie what the flying fuck are you talking about bill Skarsgård is Pennywise ….: his voice is Pennywise so wtf are you talking about he didn’t use the exact same voice as it chapter 1 he did but also changed some things to different tones of voice etc all of it was his voice or else it would have said different in the credit s
Hope he didn’t suffer a mental illness like Heath was.
RIP Heath Ledger.
Rob Metal fan according to ur profile picture ur a couch, not a fan
There is something impressive about unassuming actors playing scary clowns.
@Rob Metal fan nope, he had never done contortionist work before IT. He worked with a contortionist to pull that scene off. Also, Pennywise was voiced by Bill in this movie as well.
Damn movie just drops and mf allredy out her telling endings
Zachary Belke crazy how people talk about a movie after it comes out right?
Isaiah Allen he is just saying that the movie just dropped and channels like these are so quick to put out these types of videos.
Book has been out for almost 4 decades? Where have you been at?
@thabeavsta key word is movie, not a lot of people read the book
Did you even read the title of the video? You shouldn’t have 218 likes ?
If they wanted to go full heavy into pennywise’s origins, it would turn into a sci-fi movie and not a horror movie
Zach Morgan that movie was scary as hell
Zach Morgan I believe it should be dark comedy at best.
@21 John Nope, haven’t seen it or heard about it yet?
Damn was it funny tho
@Rob Metal fan ,I definitely enjoyed it ,I think the director was going for a psychological horror movie ,instead of the usual scary movie that does get stale from time to time .
It would be interesting if there was a Pennywise origin story.
@Scott LaMont I could easily go on Wikipedia and change the whole article… Wikipedia isn’t a reliable source
MMAREELS714
Yeah. I agree.
You know what is a reliable source?
THE FUCKING BOOK.
Jesus. What an asshole you are. Enjoy your theory. It’s been a pleasure talking to you, Mr. King…
@Scott LaMont It is an alien in the same sense Cthulhu and the other Great Old Ones are aliens.
Malphasism but they aren’t aliens they are cosmic beings or cosmic entity’s they are different from aliens
It’s called the Joker lol
The first film is all about overcoming childhood fears. The second film is all about over coming trauma and regrets and bad memories.
i madeittothelibraryyay! wth why?
@dig070799 huh awful? the last 1 hr part is the mpst satisfying scene are u serious?/ it chapter 2 has fulfilled it’s potential
terrorizer NELA it was not scary and it was and okay movie it great tho funny af honestly
I thought it had a great message. It had its flaws and there is some thinks I would complain about, but overall I did highly enjoy it!
Exactly
Should have these films into a trilogy… Just too much source material to cram in two films. Heck a trilogy would be pushing it.
Ur2ez4me81 would’ve made a killing in profits tbh.
Yeah I definitely think there was a lot of material in the book but it also makes sense to have it be two movies since the book itself is pretty strongly divided into the part when they’re kids and the part when they’re adults
@Phoebe Neilsen It does but it doesn’t. Didn’t really get emotionally attached to the kids /losers in the first film like I did in the mini series. Too many changes for me & it felt rushed. The actors themselves are good & Bill S. did a amazing job as Pennywise. For me it just came to the directing / budgeting but they aren’t terrible films. Just sucks b/c the story itself is amazing, def could have been done much better…
I didn’t like how Pennywise was defeated, So the Losers defeated him with their words? Cuz they hurt his feelings? Smh
@konanoobiemaster And what? Should I like the premise of the book? Of course not … It still seems like a crap. And here I am talking only about the movie and not about the book. No one said you should read the book before watching the movie…
Abraham Rivera penny wise lives on fear, when the adults don’t find penny wise scary anymore he dies, read the book before you comment dumbass
@Judge Wilson how is he in dark tower
@Unity 0 because the movie is an homage TO THE BOOK!!!!!!
Abraham Rivera it wasn’t because they hurt his feelings. the adults overcame what pennywise is, and what he tries to do and used that against him, making him small compared to them
I loved the movie but the ending could’ve been more creative. Basically they beat It by insulting it
ReeconRuNzHC kings literal line in the film “i didnt like the ending” lol foreshadow
Andrea Cadena its how the story goes
That’s the only issue I had with the movie. It was too easy
Rob Metal fan yeah I just didn’t like mikes or bills fharacter in this movie I think they ruined bill he was the leader in the book and they made it seem like he was just another character and I didn’t like how mike was like a crazy crack head
I DON’T SEE YOUR HOLD POINT ABOUT THE ENDING. THE ENDING WAS GREAT IN FACT SAD.
Anyone one else haven’t seen the movie but watching this ?
Tony I am dude
I have seen it
I’m have a low expectation for this cause i don’t want to be dissapointed, but i still hope that it will turn out great when i watch it tomorrow.
I’m about to go see it in like 7 hours lol
Yeah but I’ve read the book
“You lied, and I died! YOU LIED AND I DIED!!!”
Xavier Herrera *you’re
It’s truth I like Charlie puth
BIG JOCK KNEW HE KNEW SWEEP SWEEP “Eddie”…..”Bev”!
Josh Pigeau “You just want attention!”
Yeah!
Brady Emery You loved, and I died.
The Stephen King cameo was a good touch
It could have been better. I was waiting for an “Ayuh”, left sad.
Candice Dodd how could you not tell it was him? Have you not seen his picture before?
I also saw a cameo of the actor who play young Ben in the original.
