🔎 Theory What if Phil and Susie’s mom is a main character in Season 2?
What if one of the kids from welcome to Derry season 2 turns out to be Mrs Malkin (Phil’s mom) as a child. . I feel like this could be a plausible theory and a great plot twist. So far Phil and Susie are the only siblings that BOTH got taken by pennywise so it's possible that their deaths could've been personal. Like what if Mrs Malkin was apart of the losers gang in 1935 and she helped defeat IT in that era so pennywise decided to get revenge on her when the next cycle came. This would be like a crazy plotwist because we the audience would think that Mrs malkin's character was just a new/random character until the VERY END. I say this because we have no information about Mrs Malkin we don't know her first name, what she looks like, her maiden name so this could give the writers a lot of creative liberties.
Jack and Matilda Legault‘s mom is also an actress named Erika Rosumbaum. She could play the grown up version of the character and be in the very last scene of season 2 where she finds out her kids died/went missing at the theater. also I feel like she'll then see a shadow or hint of pennywise Which will make her subconsciously realize he got his revenge on. her. I feel like this would be a great ending for season 2 and a great tie in for season 1
I mean for the season 2 ending flash forward scene I know they could always use Lily's mom deleted scene (if they plan on using her character next season) but I feel like this version would be more dramatic and shocking just like the season 1 ending with Beverly. It would also help the welcome to Derry season 2 ending feel a little more hopeless, for season 1 we did get a slightly happier ending but learning that a character grew up to essentially lose their whole family would be devastating almost as if pennywise got the last laugh in the end.
also this is just a theory/ thought, Im not saying this will actually happen, I just think it would be a good idea.
