IT 2017 Movie: A Comprehensive Analysis of Ship Preferences

As an avid fan of IT 2017, I have always had a soft spot for the character interactions and the dynamic between the beloved 1990s characters from the Stephen King classic. Today, I will be diving deep into the most beloved and controversial ships within the IT 2017 movie, providing a detailed analysis of each ship, my personal preferences, and some background on their popularity.

Reddie: A Classic and Effective Ship

According to me, the ship with the best dynamic, bickering, and potential for great fan fiction (AU - Alternate Universe) is none other than Reddie. Terence "Richie" (played by Tim McInnerny) and Edward "Eddie" (played by James Caviezel). There’s something truly enchanting about watching these two characters banter and form a unique bond. They are the perfect mix of competitiveness and camaraderie, making Reddie the standout ship among all the others.

Benverly: A Sweet and Charismatic Ship

Benverly is the ship between Benjamin "Ben" (played by John Ritter) and Beverly "Bev" (played by Kathy Bates). This ship is one of my favorites as well, though not quite as overwhelmingly the top choice as Reddie. The chemistry between these two in the movie is delightful, especially when Ben reads his poem to Bev in the church. This moment is guaranteed to bring a smile to any viewer's face and highlights their undeniable affection for one another.

Stenbrough: A Controversial Ship with Mixed Opinions

The ship between Stan (played by Tom Skerritt) and Bill (played by Bill crédits) is known as Stenbrough. While the IT movie fan community generally loves this ship, I personally find it less favorable. From a personal standpoint, I can't help but feel that this pairing is just not as dynamic or believable as some of the other ships. While Stan and Bill have a solid connection, it doesn't quite reach the level of the more iconic ships like Reddie and Benverly.

Bilverly: An Overrated Ship

Bilverly, the ship between Bill and Bev, has received a lot of attention and popularity. However, this ship doesn't hold a candle to others in my opinion, such as Reddie and Benverly. The reason for this is primarily due to the complex backstory and Bill's character in the book. Bill cheated on his wife, which makes him an unlikable character in the narrative, thereby making Billverly an underwhelming ship for me.

Hanbrough: A Less Popular but Believable Ship

Mike/Stan, or more specifically, Mike and Stan, has its own charm, though it's not in the spotlight as much as the others. Their relationship is very genuine and believable, making it a contender. While I don't consider it to be a top pick, it deserves credit for its meaningful and authentic chemistry.

Kaspbrough: A Marginalized Ship with Potential

Kaspbrough, the ship between Eddie (played by James Caviezel) and Bill (played by Bill crédits), is mentioned briefly in the background of the book. This ship is the least popular, but it holds a sweet and subtle appeal. While I can appreciate the potential, I believe Eddie deserves better than Bill.

Bitchie: A Ship with Skepticism

Bitchie, a ship between Richie and Bill, is another rather niche ship. From my perspective, I don’t particularly enjoy this pairing. I suggest this ship to those who are passionate about exploring underrepresented pairings, given that it’s not explicitly shown in the movie but is hinted at in the book. Those looking for a more mainstream or strongly supported ship like Reddie or Benverly may find Bitchie’s ship to be a stretch.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, while the IT 2017 movie is rich with memorable and compelling ships, it's clear that some stand out more than others. Whether it's the beloved Reddie or the less popular Stenbrough, each relationship brings its unique charm and complexity to the IT 2017 universe. Of course, personal preferences play a significant role, and the heart-warming bond between characters like Ben and Bev (Benverly) and the cheeky dynamic between Reddie will continue to captivate fans for years to come.

As for me, I hope you can appreciate the diversity of ship preferences in the IT 2017 fan community. While some may have different opinions, the love for IT and its character dynamics remains unwavering. Here's to all the ships, no matter how niche or mainstream they may be!
