Before George Smiley admits to buying those X-Men comics??? I think that you're out of your mind.
I guess that you'll have to get Lira agitated to kill this thread. Or maybe hack Swamper's server. Or nuke the earth.

You're right. But I believe that so was I - in some way. It's been more than 15 years since I read "It", and my mind had not matured when I read it, so I might have skewed the plot in my head since then. But I remember the last third of the book (the killing of it) as a very floaty/hazy intertwingling of reality and some dream cosmos. In the dream cosmos a floating turtle, Bill, and It (taking the form of a spider) faces off, something with the turtle coaching Bill through the battle. I don't recall ever being convinced that the spider was really there, though. And I'm quite positive that the grown-up kids don't suddenly charge the beast, ripping and tearing at it until one tears out its heart (as in the movie). I found a few sites on the ending of "It":

but they don't really tell me if the spider was real or not.
