The opening scene of It: Welcome to Derry was terrifying. A boy attempting to leave Derry ended up kidnapped by a monstrous being disguised as a cheerful family. This immediately showed viewers that the series wasn’t afraid to kill off its child characters and set a dark, dangerous tone.

It’s not quite the New York Peter Parker used to swing around, it feels… different now. More his. It really feels like home for Miles, and watching him protect it just feels special.

And don’t even get me started on all the game adaptations of books and other stuff – some are great, but a lot… well, they don’t quite hit the mark.
