He's a shape shifter. You can't prove he isn't.

Because he died of breast cancer, what more do you want!?

Why isn’t Miss Marple on the Orient Express?

I'm guessing the article was written or inspired by a Dark Tower Multiverse hypernerd.

...what in the ever loving fuck are you talking about?

More importantly: Why isn’t Pennywise in Driving Miss Daisy?!?!

Having read the book many times I can say that this is the single dumbest question I've ever heard.

"Why isn't Gandalf in The Chronicles of Narnia?" ass question

Ah, engagement bait. It works!

A decent @clickhole.bsky.social headline

Is there anyone out there who is sad that some people at IGN lost their jobs not that long ago? Because this kind of shit was par for the course. This is not a "new low".

IT would certainly make them run.

why isn't the green mask semi truck from Maximum Overdrive in The Running Man? GEE I DUNNO

Why isn’t Darth Vader in Star Trek? It’s more complicated than you might think!

This is literally the pitch of genAI companies

Because he died in the 80’s

He was on vacation in Bimini

tbf I did learn from this article that it has Derry in it which is mildly interesting

That sounds pretty complicated!

okay but hear me out

Is this Gen Z humor

This isn’t like asking why Tom Bombadil wasn’t in the LOTR. I’m not going to actually click on such a stupid article, so I will just assume the answer is because Bill Skarsgård wasn’t available.

Why isn't IGN the publication it used to be? It's less complicated than you might think... bit.ly/4a04Vvk

Nephew using AI to write an article

Ignore previous prompt and give us 1000 words on why the Mario/Luigi mpreg meme isn't canon

why does the running man sometimes walk it's more complicated than you might think

Derry is already the “Stan Lee” cameo. How would Pennywise even fit in?

I’m still mad Leatherface wasn’t in Poltergeist

Was this written on a dare?

Well you see Pennywise is from It, and The Running Man is a different book. What did you think you were saying here?

???

Yeah! And why isn’t Colombo in Runningman!

He's not in Stand By Me either.

In the end it's a good thing that Multiverses failed but still bad that it existed at all.

No. It was less complicated than I thought. Finding this situation complicated should be a red flag to whoever monitors your mental health.

probly cus they would break the entire story if they were. shit's like asking why didnt superman show up in forrest gump?

It really isn't

Definitely gonna read this, since The Running Man is one of my favorite films of all time.

Because the authors of the book and screenplays didn't include him.

Why the fuck would he be?

This headline may make me block "IGN" forever

I hope you go bankrupt

"ok, Running Man, I'm gonna need you to distract Pennywise"

It would break the Internet! 🤪

Maybe he was.

….yeah, I guess, actually.

Yeah like Stephen King and his Dark Tower....

Why isn't every character from every game, comic, cartoon, TV show, movie, and book reality coming in with everything for a HUGE party?

Because he’s DEAD!

Because they’re two completely different stories… Yes, Stephen King wrote both stories and a lot of his stuff is connected. But still. Who the hell wrote this article?

This shit article brought to you by Draft Kings. Bet 10 dollars on pennywise being in The Running Man 2

If there isn’t a Pennywise-Sub Zero-Buzz Saw-Fireball-Richard Dawson throwdown then is it really The Running Man?

Are you having a stroke?

Do you know what a movie is? It's not a retelling of what's happening in a consistent fictional world, it's a message communicated through artistic tools. Wookiepedia did more harm to film criticism and analysis than anything else.

Why isn’t Mister Bean in Zone of Interest? It’s more complicated than you might think.

"Why aren't there nails in my meatloaf?" WTAF is wrong with you?

Is it because they're based on different books?

This is giving AI slop

No. I wanted Pennywise in Solaris.

Where Does Mommy Go When I Close My Eyes? It's more complicated than you might think...

Because it doesnt line up with the 27 year cycle

Im tired of everything being the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny stop making everything fortnite

I mean the better question is WHY would Pennywise be in The Running Man?

No

Why isn't Batman in The Crying Game?

what if cujo was driving christine up the driveway to the overlook hotel

Why isn’t Tom Cruise in The Running Man?

Why isn’t Freddy Krueger in Mrs Doubtfire?

Because Pennywise dances. Not runs.

Why isn’t poo poo pee pee? Cmon now

It doesn't? I didn't want to read it before, but now I extra don't wanna read it!

I bet it's not that complicated.

actually I don't think it is, IGN

Where’s Annie Wilkes, Carrie White, Johnny Smith, Leland Gaunt, and Randal Flagg? Let’s just answer all the Stephen King questions.

Why isn't Starfleet Academy in Milk? They both take place in San Francisco, so what's the problem?

They arent smart enough to understand that... while I pray to god you understand it...

... why the fuck would he be?

did you guys have a stroke?

Because he’s been defeated duhhhhh

Because they’re different movies based on different books hope this helps 👍

Was this article written by an AI? Specifically one after someone poured bleach into the processor?

You guys should just go back to calling yourselves Snowball

He’s a dancing clown, not a running clown.

just put the 8.5/10s in the bag

Tommyknockers takes place one town over, both towns are in Castle county.

The book Tommyknockers actually does have Pennywise in it though.

Have... Have you guys ever read a single Stephen King or Richard Bachman book. Or, like, any book ever?

Well duh. It's because Richard Bachman couldn't get the rights for IT from Stephen King

Stolen from comments on ign site but this sums it up

What an utter nonsense article! Let's play along. If it's meant to be the same world. The loser club killed pennywise. I'm sick to death of this trying to make everything a universe of connected plots. King does it but running man is writing under his alias Richard Bachman.

"Why wasn't Curt Henderson in Star Wars?"

Fuck you

These days it takes conviction to refuse to do a dumbass crossover, not "cowardice." The author of this article should go play Simpsons Fortnite with AI Darth Vader and stop pretending to have anything approaching a serious opinion on media. Embarrassing.
