The “It” movie is one big white savior trope. No wonder Jessica Chastain agreed to be in it. She can be Woman Walks Ahead all over again. #ITChapterTwo #ITChapter2 #ItEnds
Ironic part of it is my theatre was pretty empty for “It,” but the ones who made to the first showing were ALL Natives, including kids. Natives love horror. Even if we know, Stephen King gonna do us dirty.
Spoiler for #ItChapter2 #ItChapterTwo:
You know “It” is really on some bullshit about Natives not being able to destroy Pennywise, when Native kids were really in my theatre laughing at Pennywise. Our grandmas tell scarier stories.

It gets worse when you think about the entire premise is that white settlers have more belief in Native ceremonies than we do.
Spoiler for #ItChapter2 #ItChapterTwo:
So genocide of Native people was the result of a colonizer “eater of worlds?” At least a glimmer of honesty, in this revisionist fantasy. 😉
