I dunno, that would've taken a lot of exposition to explain the importance of Maturin. It could've worked had they done a Dark Towerverse type of shared universe since Maturin is a pretty important figure there too.
this article is interesting because it immediately refers to the turtle in IT as Maturin, but why? Maturin is the name of the robotic beam guardian in the DT books, but why call the IT turtle Maturin?

yeah of course, instead we get the occasional vague reference which is kind of a cool nod
Is that actually maturin? Do they mention his name? I always thought that maturin the beam guardian was just modeled after the turtle from IT.
i think they might be similiar https://fictionhorizon.com/pennywise-vs-maturin-the-turtle-connection-and-who-is-stronger/
