Including films where the title is a character name makes the data set less interesting. “Barbie title-drops a ton!” yeah ok.

Including “It” on the list made it seem like a parody.

Exactly. If they had limited it to cases where "it" is referring to Pennywise, that would be one thing, but not when anyone uses a very common pronoun!

I think it's quite interesting to include. Apparently Barbie says "Barbie" more than It says "it", which is fascinating!

I’ve never seen It, but having seen Barbie, it’s not all that surprising lol.

whole conversation makes me just think: But how can we not say it, if we don't know what it is!

Ni!
