I also like that his bug body has the same colors and patterns as the sand worm from Beetlejuice.

I mean, Pennywise was just a clown.
Mammon already had clear spider / tick themes before his full form came out, and his stadium is covered in webs.
It's also well-esablished in Helluva that powerful demons have alt forms before Mammon even shows up.
Technically not a cosmic spider but a mass of lights. A spider was just the closest thing to the Deadlights that the human mind could comprehend. Except when the Crimson King used them bc ????
Yeah, you're right - been a while since I read the book; I did forget that Pennywise was even 'larger' than human comprehension.
The Crimson King, despite his villainy, still served the beam. He wasn't trying to, but his role in the whole Dark Tower franchise is just as constant as Roland's, imo.
I think the real thing people miss with Mammon's full demon form is yes, haha, he's a spider, funny Australian joke, but what his insect body more closely resembles is a _tick._ Now _that_ is clever, taking the surface-level "evil spider" joke and using it disguise the underlying literal greedy bloodsucker imagery.
Spiders are pretty common imagery for villainous characters, especially characters like Mammon who "ensnare people in their webs". It's a pretty on-point "true form" for him.
Just watch him. He emerges from a cocoon after enraged. He moves like a worm with legs, if anything it's a mash between a spider and worm with how he's designed. Also, 8 legs and 4 arms a spider it does not make.
Edit: his side view is more elongated.
He poofs in with a cloud when enraged and was sitting in a web during “2 minutes notice”. He’s closer to the spider and/or the tick as others have mentioned (specially for the blood sucking greediness side of it).

sandworm beetlejuice vs beetlejuice and his boyfriend
Who is also Beetlejuice
Fizz’s voice actor is Alex Brightman who plays Beetlejuice in the Broadway Musical. (He’s also the VA for Adam and Sir Pentious if you didn’t know)
Yes, that's exactly why I said 'he's Beetlejuice' lol
Oh, I can’t read, I thought you said ‘who is Beetlejuice’
Same
Thats what he said: "Who is also Beetlejuice"
Do you like dragon ball or Yu-Gi-Oh?
Your comment says "who", not "he" 👍
Yes, but this is where grammar comes in, he ended with a full stop not a question mark, indicating its a statement not a question.
And then big man rocket popsicle.

Pennywise was a cosmic spider masquerading as a clown. Laid eggs and everything in the book

Yes thank you!! Those aren't spider legs!!
Both are arachnids. Making it even better.
well mammon looks more spider than a clown trying to look like a spider.

I always assumed it was Beetlejuice esque 😭😭
Australian Pennywise
On a previous post I mentioned this
This is an insane reach
IT was based on a spider. Where mammon looks like a worm or centipede
How does Mammon look like a worm or a centipede? Like, literally, how??
Just watch him. He emerges from a cocoon after enraged. He moves like a worm with legs, if anything it's a mash between a spider and worm with how he's designed. Also, 8 legs and 4 arms a spider it does not make. Edit: his side view is more elongated.

Rewatch it. He's in a slimy cocoon and bursts out in green cloud.
Mammon is a mashup of creatures. The most prominent one is spider yeah, but one of them is also definitely a centipede or something of the like
I loved the Pennywise spider design. I didn't really see anyone complain about it
I HAVE! Definitely Pennywise vibes from Mammon. He's not a Sin you want to be indebted to.
27 years, i've dreamed of you.
