it chapter 2 spoilers / stranger things volume 2 spoilers (under the cut)
me seeing a character named eddie who normally runs away but is now going to fight, and his body gets left behind: i think i’ve seen this film before, and i didn’t like the ending
Not gonna lie, still upset they left Eddie. They used more energy stopping Richie than it would have taken to bring Eddie.
"Oh but he's dead."
So, now he's stuck in the once place he didn't want to be, forever.
It sucks.
"It's based off a book. They can't just change it"
The whole scene is changed. In some ways, they made it more poetic. In the book, everyone but Eddie is caught in the dead lights, not just Richie. Eddie doesn't stab IT he sprays IT in the mouth with his aspirator (inhaler), so IT crushes and bites his arm, severing it. So, there is no gut stab, just no more arm for Eddie. Different kind of bleeding out.
I guess they wanted it to be an unfixable injury, like they thought the Losers could've found a way to stop the bleeding, but it would be really hard to stop the bleed after someone's impaled.
So, like divergence from the book isn't an awful thing. Kinda glad they did for a bunch of stuff, like that one chapter... glad that was gone. I just think it would've been easier to take Eddie's body out of that place than to force out a fighting Richie, give him a better resting place than down there.
it's been awhile since I've worked on this project! I've had this verse finished for months but didn't want to post it on its own, and instead wait until the whole thing is strung together to show the final result all at once. But I'm tired of holding onto it, so here is one section of my deltarune animation! My art tag has other clips if anyone is interested in seeing more~
okay but they could have pulled eddie’s body out of the house like. i seem to remember richie just holding eddie’s body over his shoulder in the it miniseries like . it could have happened! it was not impossible.
The way they have me LOSING MY MIND. Yes, I know he was not only talking about Mobius. But I also know that Mobius is the only person from that group that Loki has called a friend. And we know how Loki is with admitting feelings, he's not the best at that.
