I don't feel superhero fatigue (they just need to raise the quality and stop making bricks for their franchise) but prequel fatigue is now kicking in hard.

If this prequel series is the derry interludes from the book.....fuckin' gimmeeeee
I am hopeful of this. The book has many grisly stories about terrible happenings around Derry with Mike interviewing various people around the town. Those stories didn't make it into the movies. I think it'd be interesting to cover them.
It's a good point, a lot of my issues with prequels is that they remove a lot of the jeopardy.
Bill needs to put away these psycho/weirdo roles for a bit and maybe do a romcom or two. He’s seriously going to get typecast.
Then again, Eric Roberts is getting too old now…

Perhaps he enjoys them or it could be the family decided to assign the roles each sibling was eligible for to reduce any bad feeling. So Alexander gets the more leading-man-without-shirt parts and Bill gets the bug-eyed-freakazoid gigs. That said, Bill has got in serious shape recently, so perhaps he reckons Alexander is getting old enough he can make his move and take over his patch.
He's kind of in a difficult spot. IT was his first big role, and also possibly his best role of his career unless he gets really lucky with another "perfect fit" kind of opportunity.
Quite true, but even with the roles in John Wick, it keeps him in the "sadist/abuser" role in a film. Antagonist vs. Protagonist.
I don't have any answers either, otherwise I'd rule Hollywood … still, I'd hate to see him get put in that corner for good.
It would be kinda weird if he didn’t IMO, especially since they recorded all those cut scenes for chapter 2
He was great as IT. But no thanks.
