One of those attacks resulted in Losers Club member Eddie breaking his arm while trying to get away from It; he is left with a heavy-duty cast, which a bully defaces with a big old "loser." So Eddie attempted a little DIY redecoration, by turning the word into a makeshift "lover."
Recalling Eddie's last moments in her new book titled Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today, Valerie shared that the Van Halen guitarist told her, “I love you,” before taking his last breath.
Well, the simple answer would be an emphatic no. As was demonstrated in IT Chapter One, the pair were close in the book — with Richie even going on to kiss Eddie on the cheek following his sacrifice. However, there was nothing to imply that their dynamic was anything but a deep friendship.
Richie is also in love with Eddie, going as far as to carve their initials on the kissing bridge in town, which is not something you just do for your best buddy.
We learn that Richie Tozier, the fast-talking, foul-mouthed teenager (played by Finn Wolfhard) who grew up to be a popular stand-up comedian (Bill Hader) is gay and has been secretly in love with his friend and fellow club member Eddie Kaspbrak (played as an adult by James Ransone).
After triggering his medicine down its throat a few times, It bites Eddie's arm off. With his few remaining seconds, he tells Richie to stop calling him Eds, before dying. The Losers later leave Eddie's body in the sewers, despite Richie's protests saying they should take his body back with them.
The fifth person Eddie meets in Heaven is a young girl name Tala. Eddie accidentally caused her death during the war. Tala, the fifth person Eddie meets in Heaven, helps him make peace with himself and his life.
Even though the former couple went on to marry other people, they remained friends and grew closer during Van Halen's illness. Bertinelli was even at his bedside when he died.
Sadly, Eddie never had the chance, dying in a moment that could be questioned as a sacrifice in general. Instead, it seems like he was killed for potential shock value or to show that someone who was not the main character did not survive the battle against Vecna.
She is a reflection of Eddie's mother, as she is both obese and also inordinately anxious about Eddie's health. In the novel, Myra tries to reason with Eddie to keep him from leaving, going so far as to blackmail him with guilt about leaving her alone.
Ben and Beverly often serve as a parallel to Richie and Eddie and Ben's claim still applies–Bill will never love Eddie the way Richie does because of his sexual preference. Eddie loves Richie, but he also very much loves Bill and this love triangle is yet another parallel to Ben and Beverly.
Later on, when Eddie comes to the pharmacy because of his broken arm that Pennywise caused, he speaks with Gretta, and she writes "LOSER" on his cast, though he writes a "V" over the "S", making it say "LOVER" rather than "LOSER".
Greta wrote loser on his cast. Can't imagine that was a feel good moment for Eds.
But one traumatic memory in It: Chapter Two that seems a little too real belongs to Eddie, who sees his mother “killed” by Pennywise in the basement of Derry's neighborhood pharmacy.
1 Character: Eddie Kaspbrak Book: IT by Stephen King Psychological disorder: Hypochondriasis is somatoform disorder which are types of disorders when psychological symptoms take a physical form even though no physical causes can be found.
Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak is a major protagonist of the Stephen King multiverse. Serving as one of the main protagonists of Stephen King's 1986 horror novel IT, its miniseries adaptation, and its two film adaptations, IT and IT: Chapter Two. He is also a mentioned character in 11/22/63.
However, Eddie had been very attracted to the wealthy, stuck-up Greta Bowie, who never treated him and the other Losers, especially Beverly, nicely. She ended up dying in a car-accident when she was just about to reach adulthood, so It appeared to Eddie as Greta's decayed, maggot-infested corpse.
After Bev is kidnapped by Pennywise and dragged down to his lair, the demonic, shape-shifting clown holds her up in the air by her neck and opens its jaw all the way back so she's forced to stare deep into its throat.
Alvin Marsh was obsessed with his daughter. He spend the entire book on the verge of molesting her. He controlled what she wore, who she dated, her potential sex life. He treated her as if she was his wife, and if that had been the case he would have (now) been convicted of coercive control and put in prison.
He dies in Dustin's arms after sacrificing himself to save his friends and finally redeeming himself as a hero, for not running away. The scene was gut-wrenching enough and fans cannot forget it, whether they want to or not. The kicker of it all? Eddie's final words to Dustin: "I love you, man."
“Beep beep, Richie,” Stan hissed, elbowing his friend sharply in the ribs and hoping none of the other losers had heard his comment. Richie had caught Stan eyeing Bill a few times now and, while Stan had still refused to admit it out loud, incessantly teased him about his crush.
Richie always calls Eddie "Eds" or "Eddie Spaghetti" and has even called him "Eddie my love." He often calls Eddie cute as well, just to get a reaction from him, and Eddie is not always pleased about this.
Depiction of abuse victims
Throughout the novel, Beverly is consistently abused by the men in her life. As a child, she is physically abused by her father Alvin. As an adult, due to the repressed memories of Derry, she marries Tom Rogan, who is physically and emotionally abusive towards her.
This would lead to one of the biggest Stephen King book controversies: after the Losers become lost in the sewers trying to make their way back to the surface, in IT Beverly decided to have sexual intercourse with all the boys from the Losers Club.
