** Because it's not necessary to the plot.

** Richie doesn't seem like the type of person to have that sort of rational thinking. Maybe the thought hit him sometime later when it was no longer useful.
Added DiffLines:
** Maybe she did realise it then but forgot about it, as what happens with the rest of the Losers over the years.

[[folder: Beverly realizing that Ben sent the poem]]
After Ben and Bev escape from their personal hells during the Ritual of Chud, Bev realizes that Ben was the one who sent her the poem. But didn't she realize that already in Chapter One after Ben kissed her to free her from the spell of the deadlights?

*** IT literally gave Bill the paper boat he made for Georgie. IT ''knew'' the ritual didn't work for the Shokopiwah tribe and wouldn't work for the Losers' Club because why would IT deliberately help Bill if IT was confident IT would survive the ritual?

* Mike and Bill said to find tokens while remembering the time the Losers Club were split up after the fight between Bill and Richie. By that logic, it ''should'' happen during that time. This is either it's Richie's persistence to keep playing until he's within Henry's sight, children in Derry being as apathetic as the adults, or a case of the director/screenwriters [[DidntThinkThisThrough not planning the timeline properly]] so the confusion happens.

*** As the above said, they only know IT was affected by the belief only during climax. They also kind of rely on information relayed by Eddie about making IT smaller. They likely stick to what's already proven to happen just to be safe.

...apologize to Dean at the Chinese resturant? Explain to him that he was going through emotional problems/stress and that he didn't mean to lash out at him, or that he was being stalked and just got worried when Dean walked up to him?

[[folder: When did the Arcade Scene take place in Chapter One?]]
When does the scene in the arcade fit in with the Chapter One timeline? You'd think that after being humiliated like that at his safe place Richie would avoid it. Though, it's the place Bill finds him when they go to rescue Beverly. Does it happen when the Losers are estranged? It obviously can't take place after since Pennywise attacks him after via the Paul Bunyan statue after.

* As explained in the book, the Deadlights couldn't really exist in our universe. They were the manifestation of an Outer God that existed outside of time and space, and the Spider (and Pennywise) was merely their avatar in our universe. Best guess is that the version swirling around in It's lair had to be channeled through the the Spider to work, and they effect was much weaker than if they'd gazed upon the Deadlights' true form in its own dimension. Remember, they merely stunned Beverly; in the book, Tom Rogan got the full power of the Deadlights and went so insane as to become completely catatonic.
