What are the exact reasons Pennywise can't work?

[BRONIN]

A deal with It's true form and the Entity is completely viable and enough to sketch into the lore.

If you've seen the new movie, which I'm trying to avoid spoiling, it's pretty easy to see how he could fit in the game in his clown form.

There's enough abilities considering his balloons, deadlights, and transformation that giving him abilities wouldn't be much of a problem.

Other than personal reasons, there isn't much of a reason he wouldn't work besides the devs not seeing him needed. Which is fine: but lore wise and logic wise: there is no reason he wouldn't work. The DBD lore isn't soldified and the entity has no reason it wouldn't see a potentinal alliance between itself and It.

Here's another counter point. Pennywise doesn't just kill to kill. He's hungry, he's there to eat. Why would the Entity want competition? As other people said top, hed very difficult to code and with a fresh high-grossing film he'd cost them a fortune.

I don't know. Funko and NECA got it.

And why couldn't they add to the lore that the entity made an exception to be able to feast more and entertain It more?

I already adressed this.

It is against the lore and the devs have said countless times that they wont be adding anyone who was not originally human. That alone kills the idea. Besides right now it would cost a lot of money probably to get.

Also read the book please and you will understand why she wont fit DBD.

When?

And if they really said that, that's... pretty limiting and boring. Creatures would be a nice fit.

At the very least, I hope we get a clown who laughs or at least says something haunting when chasing people.

Anything would have been better than another chainsaw killer ..

Sadly, I have to agree with that statement. Billy was enough of a lovable and iconic character to get a bland substitute.

That's what I thought too. It was weird to me.

I JUST THOUGHT OF AN AWESOME SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HOOKS.

Instead of putting you on a hook, he can lift you up and open up so the deadlights are visible to whoever he's holding in a specific area. After seeing the deadlights, the caught survivor begins to actually float in that place until being pulled down. :D

Aliens and DbD don't mix, thats the main reason.

Because Pennywise is bigger, older than the Entity. Pennywise was around before there was nothing.

Pennywise is a monster/non human- All these killers hence far have been humans. You'd more likely see Jason (If not for his own game.) or Freddy Kruegar before you see Pennywise.

Freddy shouldn't count either.

Why would it be such a bad thing for them to make a change or something that's like offput from the rest of the lore?

Why would they keep him out? The Entity could acknowledge It's existence for a sort of alliance.

That's boring and that's never been confirmed.

And in actuality since IT is an alien, Jack Skelington from a nightmare before christmas has 5 times the chance to be a new killer for DbD than Pennywise.

Geez, you just don't understand how this game works.

And yes, devs already said aliens have no place in this game.

They don't want clowns. Nuff said.

Yeah, no. I'm trying to add something fun and a bit exciting, and humans kinda reach a limit once you give them every weapon possible. And since at this point, the humans are turned into something not human anymore, their logic is off if they actually said that.

It'd be one thing if these killers remained human but they're not anymore. So the logical fallacy that something paranormal can't be added as a killer is just stupid since the killers aren't already. And the "lore" saying they have had to be a human at one point can bend if the entity so chooses to make an alliance with the being that "It" is.

This was never said either. And if the devs do think they don't want clowns, please come in and shut it down.

It's as much a difference in power as it is a difference in how they Feed. The Entity has a vested interest in keeping the survivors alive, as it feeds on hope.

This is why it has all these killers who no longer wish to escape. They've given up all hope and ceased to be a source of nourishment, however their natural abilities mean, with a little help from the Entity, these Thralls become the perfect tool for acquiring more hope. The Entity gives the hopeless a purpose, and with nothing else to do, these thralls accept the entity's embrace willingly.

Anything that would outright kill a survivor, such as a creature as powerful as It, would be directly counter-productive to the entity's plans.

"But you kill survivors with sacrificing and Mori's!" I hear you say. Close. What happens to every survivor who is sacrificed or killed? They end up back at the Campfire, protected from true death by the Entity, as long as they still possess hope that they can escape.

The hope they exuded during the trial is snatched up by the Entity like a delicious meal. However, the Entity ensures that all survivors survive a Trial until they have no hope left, at which point they become either a Thrall, or it's protection of them ceases and they are lost in the fog forever.

The Entity feeds on hope, but that does not mean it necessarily understands What Hope is. By utilizing its now hopeless thralls, it is able to acquire the hope it seeks, using an instrument that can properly identify that hope, and wring it out of the victims effectively.

These are just my opinions and views, yours may differ and that's fine. Happy Hunting Killers, and See You By The Campfire Survivors. Hopefully none of us will be... Dead By Daylight.
