I read Stephen King’s IT a few years ago but I still remember this part of the book. The Turtle supposedly oversees the Losers and helps them fight IT. Because of the inclusion of the Turtle it takes the book from a battle against an alien (IT) into a battle against a god.
If you remove the Turtle the book doesn’t change. I believe it would have been even better if the Turtle was omitted. What was the point of the Turtle? I know Stephen King’s books are technically a multiverse but the Turtle still plays no purpose.
