    Mike Hanlon was the resident historian of the Losers Club; a watchdog that stayed in Derry after It's initial defeat in 1958 to keep an eye out for any possible return. In this video I'll go through the entire chronological life of Michael Hanlon and do a complete breakdown an analysis of his character.
    including the difficult tensions that he encountered with the people of Derry
    This will cover the entire known history of Mike from his birth to his death. Please note that this will only analyse Mike as he is written in the book. I will show clips from the movies as a visual aid, but for the purposes of Horror History, the books are canon!
    I'll be explaining how Mike became interested in history which led to his role as the librarian, pointing out some of the stories of old Derry's past told to him by his father, Will Hanlon, and researched by Mike as an adult, analysing why he never could have participated in the final fight, breaking down his story, what scares him most, what motivates him and how he ties into the narrative.

    About IT Chapter Two
    Evil resurfaces in Derry as director Andy Muschietti reunites the Losers Club-young and adult-in a return to where it all began with “It Chapter Two.”
    The film is Muschietti’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed and massive worldwide box office hit “IT,” which grossed over $700 million globally. Both redefining and transcending the genre, “IT” became part of the cultural zeitgeist as well as the highest-grossing horror film of all time.
    Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, “It Chapter Two” brings the characters-who’ve long since gone their separate ways-back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film.

    I’m a bit upset that most of Mikes history research abilities was given to Ben in the first movie. I love Ben but Mike would’ve been the better historian considering he stayed in Derry for the 27 years. Also Mike is the real Losers Club leader Fight me 🥰

      I wanna touch on this real fast. I think they were trying to balance things out from the previous mini series. Not just with those two either. I feel like most of the balance was given to ben, bev, and mike. For ben and mike specifically, ben didn’t really have a purpose in the 1990 version. He was just ‘the fat kid’. In the 2017 one, they change the story to say that both mikes parents died and that he is homeschooled and lives with his grandpa. Mikes background is that he is a homeschooled orphan raised on a farm and the only time he mentions his future is when he says he wants to go to Florida someday. As sad as it is, he probably didn’t have the right education, enough money or people skills to have a life outside of derry. That would make him perfect to be the one who brings them home. He also tries to justify leaving the group after the fight because hes an outsider and should stay that way but of course at the end of the movie he knows hes loved and valued by his friends. If i were a homeschooled orphan on a farm who lived in the dark aftermath of my parents death and was finally given validation by a group of peers, I’d do the same thing Mike did. And mike gets his happy ending, or it’s heavily implied he did. With ben, his happy ending was with bev. He doesnt have much else going for him in the movie except his interest in history. Again, if i moved to a new place and did some digging around and found some super suspicious shit then id keep on digging and digging more. Anyway im sick in bed and bingeing IT stuff so sorry for my useless rambling lol.

      @@malkyyy3418 I think what they're trying to say is everyone had their own role. As far as the 90s version, they at least stayed true to what everyone's specific skill/talent was. Ben was the architect and Mike was the historian (Bill-writer and Richie=comedian). The only outliers are Bev, Stan, and Eddie, as their chosen professions weren't things we got to see them exhibit as kids.Once you take away being a historian from Mike and give it to Ben, only for Ben to grow up and still be the architect, they literally HAD to create a whole new story for Mike to make it make sense that he's even there. As the story is written, there has to be the 7 of them to play their parts, otherwise, with all the rewrites, I'm sure they would've just written Mike out because I have no idea why they did what they did in the revamp.

      No need, if you read the book, Bill is always the leader of the losers club, Mike was last to join so no way could he become the leader. The story is driven by revenge for Georgie, its Bill that makes them promise to come back if pennywise is not dead, neither film does justice to the story itself, like so many SK books.

They did his character such a disservice in the new movie by giving his storyline to Ben that it diminished my enjoyment of the film.

      Aisha Lee - I feel the same as you do. Mike’s my favorite character in the books. I’m glad they upped his importance in the second movie, but it felt so weird for the one important trait of his was given to Ben in the first movie. It missed the symbolism of both Mike and Ben of their roles in the ritual and the group.
      For me, Mike will forever be the one Loser that posed a bigger threat to Pennywise than any of them.

    • @snowboardfulya
      @snowboardfulya 4 роки тому +48

      What also felt so upsetting was how much they took away from Mike's confrontations of IT (the pre-historic bird attack moment in the book for example) as well as the fact that they changed the times from the 50s to the 80s.. The book had so many more statements of the height of racism in the 50s, and it was so much more predominant than in the movie. They simplified Mike so much...they muddled him and for no valid reason. It irrevocably broke the movie - and it just took even more away from Black history. I can't imagine how hard that must feel as a Black person. I just hope further movies do more justice.

    • @emvoidd
      @emvoidd 4 роки тому +20

      SERIOUSLY!!! in the book mike gets so much story and focus that just didnt transfer in the movie. its unfair that the sexual abuse from the book is covered in the movies (beverly’s arc) but not racism. i dont think his story should be glossed over. i cant imagine how frustrating this may be for someone who is black (i’m white). it strikes me as disrespectful. in this way, it’s a disservice to the original source material and, evidently, a disappointment for black watchers as the only major black character was watered down, suppressed, and changed to accommodate for a majority white audience.

      It's very random and comes off like a patch job after what the writers did in chapter 1. Another reason why, in a multitude of them, that was a bad call for the screenplay.

    For 2 reasons, Mike was always my MVP. 1) he understood the history and malign nature of It and Derry. 2) He stayed and back in Derry to watch for It’s return. Plus either by circumstance or fate the other Losers were able to do something more than become the town Librarian.
    I really do appreciate the new It films but I have disdain with Mike’s role and story was presented in the film. Chapter 1 filmmakers reduced Mike’s historian- thinker role in the Loser Club and his connection to Derry’s malign nature. Chapter 2 Mike didn’t have his calm thinking nature and seemed too desperate and erratic at times.

And worst of all how Mike is being drove insane and Pennywise holding this immense feeling of dread and power over Mike continuously tormenting and mocking Mike. Literally stalking him like a predatory carnivorous animal stalks its prey.

  • @AnaxErik4ever
    @AnaxErik4ever 2 місяці тому

    As a fellow librarian, Mike is definitely a favorite character in the IT narrative for me. Historian (both for the town they work in and for a myriad of other topics), and local events calendar keeper, are two of the many hats librarians must juggle to keep their libraries running, thereby ensuring the spread of information. "What we do in the present will be read about as the history of tomorrow." is an adage that we keep in mind when preserving texts, objects of interest, digital media, etc.
    As the only one who stayed in Derry, closest to the source of pure evil, Mike's post battle success may not be as widely known as the rest of the Losers Club. But becoming a librarian takes a certain kind of devotion to taking in, and preservation of, information, covering as wide a range of genres and potential audiences as possible. I spent three and a half years of graduate school for my dual Masters for my grad school program, which is prerequisite to getting even basic library jobs if you don't do page work as a teenager. Short version: don't diss Mike Hanlon, the boy who knows the value of physical labor and understanding the contents of a repository of Derry's worst disasters.

      What saddens me is that the plaque is the only thing the losers have that stays.

They loved each other so much but their bond is forgotten.
