so Curry or Skarsgard

I like the acting for both, but new Penny better fits the story.

Theyre both dumb and goofy, at least curry's performance was self aware. Of course tv contrarians absolutely adore the stranger things knock off.

Skarsgard if you're not a contrarian nostalgiatard.

I don't care how new it is, this is one of the most contagious laughs I've ever heard. The part that makes it is the "oh no no no, uwawaawaa"

If there's one thing I hate about the new version, it's that it shows no restraint in showing how supernatural It is in pennywise form. Like, it's so obvious that he's a literal monster from the very beginning. How do I put this? The projection of material childhood fears onto a supernatural being is lost here because the obnoxiousness of the supernatural completely drowns out the intimacy of an earthly marauding phobia. Why should I care that he's taking a clown form? He's so obviously a cosmic monster that he may as well be assuming his SPOOKY spider form.

Contrast to the miniseries. We all know that It is a cosmic monster, but Tim Curry's pennywise pretends to be a human more convincingly. He's rarely exhibiting his supernature beyond showing his spoopy teeth. He's just showing up and taunting the Losers, which you could argue makes him seem less directly threatening, but I feel like the point is that he's never meant to be that way. It's entrenching him as something more tangibly menacing to the Losers because he's assuming plausible, recognisable form whilst being a murderous being. It's that earthliness and faux humanity about him that makes his menace feel more in line with the themes of the story.
