What Makes It Pure Evil?[]

Like its original novel counterpart, it caused a massive cataclysmic event upon its arrival to Earth, killed the natives that attempted to defeat it with the Ritual of Chüd and was responsible for the Kitchen Ironworks massacre.
Also, like its literary counterpart, it awakens every 27 years to devour the people of Derry (mostly the children for being an easier target), having killed thousands of them over the years.
Has proven it has moral agency due to how sad*stic it is in its actions by taking on its victims' worst fears.
- An example of this is shown when Bill Denbrough tells it that it can just take him since he's actually there now (unlike when Georgie died which he still blames himself for as an adult), it sad*stically chooses to ignore his request and instead makes him relive his traumatic childhood by killing another little boy named Dean in front of him.
Tricked Billy's younger brother Georgie by offering its paper boat back before attacking him, biting his arm off before dragging him into the sewers and mercilessly killing him.
Prevented a couple from saving Ben Hanscom from the Bowers Gang.
Murders Patrick Hockstetter (another one of Henry's friends) in the sewers after taunting him with visions of zombie kids, although he outright deserved it.
Repeatedly tries to kill the Losers Club while taunting them with their greatest fears, such as:
- Taunting Billy with the death of Georgie by using the latter's corpse as a puppet and showing Billy pictures of him in a projector.
- Taunting Beverly Marsh with her father Alvin's sexual abuse and fear of blood.
- Taunting Richie Tozier with his fear of clowns.
- Taunting Ben's overweight frame and exploiting that with his crush on Beverly, as well as showing him the Kitchen Ironworks incident with a boy's head being left in a tree.
- Taunting Mike Hanlon with the deaths of his parents in a fire.
- Taunting Stanley Uris with the fear of a creepy looking, flute playing woman in a picture. Stan, as an adult, would later commit suicide upon realizing Pennywise had returned.
- Taunting Eddie Kaspbrak with the fear of a mythical creature called the Lecer, as well as his hypochondria and his relationship with his mother.
During the Neibolt House confrontation, it cruelly taunted Eddie by pretending to bite his broken arm while drooling and preparing to devour him, before heartlessly taunting Bill about how it killed Georgie and trying to kill him instead, only stopping because Beverly impaled it through the head.
Tried to drown Bill and Richie in a pool of ink.
Manipulating Henry Bowers into killing his abusive father (although he deserved it) by speaking to him on a TV full of children, developing his (already) sociopathic and sad*stic nature into full-on murderous intent and psychopathy, to the point that Henry even murders his own friends for no reason and tries to kill the Losers too.
Possessed Beverly's sexually abusive father before forcing him to rape Beverly, leading to her killing her father out of self-defence.
Viciously attacked Stan in the sewers in the form of the creepy flute playing woman he's afraid of, violently mauling his face and leaving him scarred.
- As an adult, Stan would later commit suicide out of trauma from this and Pennywise would mock the Losers for the loss of their friend.
Kidnapped Beverly and attempted to manipulate the Losers into not rescuing her.
Taunted Bill over the possibility of Georgie still being alive, appearing to him as a fake illusion of his brother as part of his manipulation to kill him.
During the first final battle it had with the Losers, it took Bill hostage and offered to spare the Losers only if they let it kill Bill.
During the battle, it turned into the Losers' fears and insecurities one more time in an attempt to torment them, even mocking Beverly about her father.
Killed a gay man named Adrian Mellon in front of his friend while writing the message in the bridge with his blood.
Mocks Stanley's suicide in front of the Losers Club via fortune cookies.
Tricks a girl named Victoria with her insecurity about the birthmark on her face by acting as if it was constantly rejected by its appearance too, and then devours her.
Freeing the completely sociopathic Henry Bowers from the mental institute to assist him of killing the Losers Club.
sad*stically toys with Bill, repeating the same tragedy of Georgie with another boy named Dean who lived in Derry by trapping the child in a hall of mirrors at a carnival and violently killing him in front of Bill as he watched helplessly. Bill even offered for Pennywise to kill him in Dean's place, yet it still chose to brutally murder Dean just to torment Bill for its own sad*stic amusem*nt.
Torments the Losers during their second battle, even nearly burying Ben alive.
After he is done with them, he could possibly kill the rest of humanity right after he returns to Its usual role of killing and devouring the children of Derry.
Kills Eddie right in front of the Losers Club and attempts to slaughter the rest of them as well.
In it's final moments, It remarks of how the Losers Club had "grown up", as it had found worthy enemies or found respect in them. However, it is much more likely that It was sarcastically mocking them for one last time.
Although it's death was terrifyingly horrible when it's heart is ripped out and crushed by the Losers Club in their hands which leads to It disintegrating as a result, it is not played for any sympathy at all as it was truly well-deserved because of all the cruel, horrible and vile things it did.
Despite having comedic moments, most of its humor is dark and it is taken completely seriously.

Trivia[]

This incarnation of It, in its Pennywise form, is the icon of the Pure Evil Wiki.
There is a theory that the whole time the boy named Dean was an illusion of It, and that the vision where Dean was killed by It was for It to remind Bill of how he couldn't save Georgie.
While this version of It is currently Pure Evil just like the novel and the TV miniseries incarnations, there's a slight possibility that this may change once Welcome to Derry, an upcoming HBO Max prequel show about its origins set in the 1960s is released, as the series will delve into its backstory.
There is an interview with Bill Skarsgård that It wanted to get killed by the Losers Club, as it wanted to experience fear and wanted to end its miserable life, given that is subconsciously was tired of doing the same things over and over again, and wanted to end its self torment . However, it is too debatable, as It could have wanted to experience fear but not want to die, and this fact is not confirmed canon by the director Andy Muschietti, leaving this as a debatable and possibly non canon disqualifying factor. Even then if it were confirmed by Andy Muschietti, this may not disqualify It considering Word of God doesn't count unless it's shown onscreen to back such a claim up.
