Yeah Why’s It So Fucking Funny Dickwad?

So do you remember the scene where Eddie and Richie are one by one opening the ‘not so scary’’and ‘very scary’ doors? The first one we all remember very well - the Pomeranian sequence was just too much to forget. But what was hiding behind the ‘very scary’ door is very important character-wise. They opened the door that turned out to be a CLOSET at first, and they were BOTH facing it.

You all know where this is going already and what a closet means in terms of sexuality, but wait, there’s more!

While Reddie are struggling with the doors, Benverly each are facing the biggest and deepest fears of theirs - Beverly is confronted by her bullies, dead father, fountains of blood from the first movie, etc. Ben meanwhile is struggling with not being buried alive - alone and forgotten.

So yeah while Benverly were fighting with their embodied fears, Richie and Eddie the same exact moment were facing A WHOLE ASS OPEN CLOSET which is obviously symbolic and means that both of them are pretty much closeted and one of their biggest fears is coming out.
