Hoody is a proxy Jay from the future preventing Alex from killing the entire cast of Marble Hornets from spreading the Slender man curse to people who have come into contact with him. If you see him, you're done for.

Jay as Hoody- Jay and Hoody have been seen together= No
Alex as Hoody- Alex attacked Hoody= No
Amy as Hoody=Probably
Brian as Hoody= Probably
Jessica as Hoody- Seen together= No
Tim as Hoody- Seen together= No
Seth as Hoody=Probably
Sarah as Hoody= Probably

Here is my list of my beliefs so far.

[Osttle]

I think its Seth or Brian, mainly because they were once semi important early on.

[Cinema Film Network]

I really think "none of the above" should have been an option, as it's at least possible.

Although I've not been around here much this last week, I haven't seen a single person try to argue Jessica is Hoody since 76 was uploaded. I thought that was done with, no one was really ignoring 76.

Mind you, I was a proponent of her being Hoody until 76, but clearly she is not.

Seth

- Cameraman, meaning he'd have access to the b-roll footage that we've seen in TTA videos
- Sad face representing hoody's mask appears when he is taken
- Would have knowledge on how to edit film/do crazy effects from TTA videos (not definite, but most cameramen are proficient in editing too)
- Earlier TTA videos had weird "S's" in them, most noticeably in "regards"
- Being the cameraman, he would have seen the operator in b-roll footage probably before Alex did, which would somewhat explain him following Alex/Jay in "exit"
- Was better friends with Alex than Brian was (One of them says they didn't really know the other one too well at some point.) Hoody hesitated in killing Alex most likely bc they were previously friends. If you want to argue that Brian is better friends with Tim, I'm going to counter argue with "why did Brian start adopting the hoody persona in 2006 and not beforehand since Tim had those problems for his whole life"


Brian appears in only a few more entries than Seth, and that doesn't really give him more significance. Being shown more often =/= he's more likely to be TTA. Brian is also just a basic actor, who would most likely not have the knowledge on how to produce certain video effects that TTA uses. The operator is clearly involved with cameras in some fashion, and Seth used a camera the most, being the cameraman.

Also, TTA was suspicious of Alex/Jay before entry 51, when Brian was taken. "Exit" proves that, as that was filmed during location scouting. If TTA was Brian, he would know better than to go to the annex. You can argue that Seth was in the basement, but it seemed like Seth went down there on his own accord based on the fact that he didn't start running upstairs once he saw blood.

Wait, there are still people who think it's not Brian? Haha!

[TheJoker]

Will point out that we have no proof whatsoever that Seth was better friends with Alex than Brian, or indeed that they were friends at all. Sure, we can infer Seth was probably friends with him to put up with all his shit, but he's spoken about two lines total and none really indicate his relationship with anyone. We've never really gotten a good fix on how well Brian, Seth or Sarah knew Alex. We only know that Jay was pretty good friends with him and that Tim wasn't.

The rest of your points about Seth I agree with completely, but not your points about Brian or their relative significance. Not even going to try and explain again why Brian is more significant than Seth, because evidently some people's thick skulls are impenetrable.

Used to be 100% sure it was Seth due to the fact that he was a camera operator/editor for the student film and was directly abused by Alex on camera. in addition to the distorted face at the end of Entry #22 resembling Hoody's mask.

I loved the idea of it being Sarah or Jessica as it seemed to be a huge plotwist, even though there are women in MH I would never have suspected the masked characters to have been female. Obviously #79 punched a hole straight through any theories people had about Hoody being a female (as if Hoody's physical build wouldn't have done that already)

But at this stage it has to be Brian, the cough in #79 reminds me way too much of Brian's in #51 and OOG has been attending cons with Trosphim (I mentioned this in another thread but it's worth revising)

Apart from Alex, Tim and Jay, Brian is the next original crew member of the student film who has been seen on screen the most, even in Season 3. Plus Brian and Tim were close friends, doesn't it make sense they would participate in their masked activities together? I personally didn't want to be wrong about Seth as I preferred Seth's character to Brian but I guess I gotta swallow my pride here

Some person in the Entry #79 thread said that there may be no Hoody reveal at the end, and said Trosphim are feeding us Hoody's identity by showing us who he isn't one step at a time, which I think is an excellent way of putting it. We have plenty of information now to not just speculate, but significantly narrow down the list of possible people, I mean, just look at the poll.

We don't know how good friends Jay was with Alex. They were film students at the same college, he helped Alex go location scouting, and he was supposedly Marble Hornet's script editor. He also knew him well enough to visit in Entry #71, but not well enough to already know he was moving (Although at this point Alex was sort of isolating himself for obvious reasons. He sounds truthful in Entry #58 saying he didn't know Alex that well, but he was using it to justify not knowing why he became impossible to work with, which was a lie. Then again, the fact Jay didn't know Alex was acting that way while Marble Hornets was happening may imply he really didn't know him that well (In Entry #9 he mentions never having seen Alex act that way.) It's also plausible Jay had seen Alex act that way but doesn't remember, all things considered.

As for Brian, Marble Hornets was probably thinking of Tim. Tim mentions in Entry #15 that Brian was his friend, and that Brian was Alex's friend, but Tim and Alex didn't really know each other very well. He was just along for the ride with Brian. So Brian was probably fairly close friends with Alex. As for Seth and Sarah, we have literally zero idea how they knew Alex.
