I'm not going to rewrite the scene because I think Stephen King kicks ass, and me suggesting tweaks seems like me backseat driving during the Moon landing. When I pitched the idea for this column, I was told it was cool so long as I kept it classy. So I didn't even get to this even weirder child sex scene, but I've had a read now.

Most modern critics would find the sex scene problematic. One of the plot issues of the 2017 film is the fact that Beverly (played to absolute perfection by Sophia Lillis, whom I hope to witness have a career that is long and prosperous) is the victim of rumors concerning her sexual activity. This is good. I won't go into it all here, because it's a long debate. I buy that he wrote the sex scene for specific, narrative-driven reasons. To expect a girl that young to come blazing out like she’s Sarah Connor doesn’t even fall in line with the book; King’s got a history of abused women who have to find their voices, and lest we forget, Bev is the one who isn’t afraid of Pennywise in the latest film’s climax. Reading his explanation doesn’t really convince me otherwise. Bev has the upper hand as the alpha female at this point the story, and she remembers these facts when it’s time to reclaim the bond that held them together in their haze of post-battle.

I guess what I’m saying is that this works on a theoretical level, but I didn't get there as a reader. If you're someone for whom the book was good, or the idea of the sex scene doesn't extinguish your desire to read  Because while I’ve seen and read a lot of articles that ask questions about this scene, questions like “Isn’t that weird?” or “Isn’t that gross?” I haven’t seen a lot of folks asking other questions. No, because I had to read outside the text to understand what was going on. Here’s the thing: Bill (who was a proxy for King, which made the whole “giving a prepubescent girl the big O” factor about as comfortable as a gynecological exam with a cold speculum) engages in the Ritual of Chud, an ancient process designed to grant him passage into a mystical realm that allows him to gain access to various secrets and defeat It.

I’m not one who often says something could be dumbed down, but if this scene had been dumbed down, it would’ve been easier to understand why it was happening when it was happening and in the way it was happening. She’s having babies, which is problematic because it’s explained in the book that she’s the polar opposite of The Turtle – she’s not the creator, she’s the destroyer. And we have the scene where a group of kids, hopelessly lost in a sewer, figure their way out of the sewer and create a connection that allows them, unlike all the other adults in Derry, to remember Pennywise as adults. The point is that this scene is not alone the problem--underage sex between consenting people is not in itself wrong, a little worrying if it is voyeuristic though--it just reinforces a broader theme in the book in which Bev's identity is all about sex.

I'd like to think that Donaldson could have written just as good a story without making rape part of his protagonists CV...but I do wonder how different the impact of the over-all metaphysical ambiguity of this series would be without it. Here are the basics.

It doesn’t seem to be a big deal for the reviewer. As far as including the scene in the film, I think it could have been adapted where they joined hands in a circle of power, like they do in the novel as adults, which might have made a nice bookend for that bit in the second movie. And while Bev and the other Losers aren’t conceiving anything in the near future – especially considering that four out of six boys don’t ejaculate – she does manage to engage them in something It cannot do. Rape of an underage girl by the protagonist is understandably going to turn people off. However, that seems to be a theme of the book. Much like how the adults of Derry refused to see It, we sometimes don’t want to admit that the growing up process includes some uncomfortable truths. But, swap to current times, and it’s virtually impossible to find a review that fails to mention the scene. Sex creates a tie, whether it’s a memory or a deep wish to forget an event. This analysis reminds me of the scene early in the book series "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" by Stephen R. Donaldson that is usually the catalyst for fantasy fans bailing out on the series. The evil businessmen could have been thwarted without someone picking up an axe.

When kids take on a great amount of responsibility – like the Losers Club did to save their town and, quite possibly, humanity – they’re more likely to be wise beyond their years.

And then assures each boy that she (platonically?) By now, the latest adaptation of It has been out for a little bit.
