Maybe Hoodie has no identity. Maybe Hoodie is just a manifestation of the spirits/wills of everyone who has been taken/killed by The Operator. Razz

They wouldn't, because if they did that, I can only assume the next shot would be a text panel informing us it really was "all for the lolz".

exactly my thoughts. things have to be sensical. the way they end the series might have an impact on dvd sales and also movie sales when it comes out. they can't half ass it imo.


all i want in the end is for them to reveal some part of the operator's motives, or at the very least why he lets some people go but takes others, or why he chooses to chase his prey around rather than just ending them right then and there

So, I'm going to assume the field Tim was in at the end was the one outside the abandoned hospital.

Also, I noticed that even before Hoody and The Operator showed up there was some distortion on the chestcam; it was the color shades. Rather like the distortion in entry #12.

We can agree there, I don't need a complete breakdown of what he is, but what caused him to start hunting them, and why is he so choosy about who he takes. Also why he watches for so long before striking, I don't think we'll get that answer, but damn would I like it.

I feel like if they don't answer at least that, the whole 4-5 years of my life following this thing will have been for nothing. The payoff is finding out what the operator is up to and why he does things a certain way. Maybe not where he came from or what exactly he is or how to destroy him, but if they don't give us at least an answer as to why he does certain things, I feel like I would never tell someone to check out the series.

All I pray is that this series doesn't end like every single paranormal activity movie and that there is some closure

Regarding 3:20-3:30:

-When the translucent flames are around, if you look closely, you can see a translucent operator. If the operator madness is distorting time and space around Tim, presumably we are half seeing the hospital during the past, when it was on fire--that TO is also translucent here would seem to more or less confirm that he was there during the fire.

-What is the circular grey thingy? It feels like it may have been in a TTA video before, but I can't be sure of this.

-At one point here we see Tim unmask Hoody, but distortion prevents us from seeing the face. Tim clearly "stops" here too, seemingly shocked at the identity. I also notice that this particular unmasking clearly occurs in the tunnel, as you can see the edge of it in the shot. My guess is that this is a glimpse of a FUTURE event. If I'm right, it means Tim will be the one to unmask Hoody and will do it in the tunnel.

All I really wanna know at this point is if Hoody's face getting operator-effects over it every time tim goes to reveal it is just troy wanting to keep it a secret, or if the operator does

Because it's sort of implied that the operator doesn't want tim finding out his identity, he kept interrupting him.

I don't think those streetlights are the same. The lines on the road only appear in Entry #2, not in Entry #83.


Working on proving it, will add pictures to edit this post, but the picture from #83 obviously has distortion from TO, #2 does not. I may be wrong, but it might be very easy to remove the lines by accident, especially since the lines are painted with paint that is made specifically to be highly reflective when car lights are shined on them. In #83 there is no car.

On the contrary, I wouldn't mind if the series ended without revealing The Operator's motives. This entry is my favourite one so far and yet it didn't answer anything, in my opinion anyway.


Something I noticed is that Hoody's left leg is in a different position on the road at the end (~6:35) compared to in the building (~5:35), but everything else seems to be the same. Maybe Tim kicked Hoody's leg at 6:08 when he started running?

Personally, I don't think we'll find out very much about the Operator. For one thing, thanks to the movie, we know that the Operator is not something unique to Jay and friends (although I am expecting at least one off hand reference by someone to Timmy W. who used to be a patient, or some other reference like that). Also, seeing as how Slender Man could be called a cosmic horror story, a huge part of the Operator is that it is the unknown itself.

That implies you actually believe they have teleportation powers OOG. Use sense, it's obvious that they had him lay back on the floor and tried his best to recreate the position. This is the exact kind of post I was talking about before.

They might not be able to explain it... but they could show it.
It would be tough though. Like Hoodie shifting between several actors with an accompanying distortion of visuals and voice.

Granted such a thing might be too complicated for a satisfactory reveal. It would come off as an asspull no matter how well done it was since there hasn't been enough foreshadowing for that kind of outcome.

Well, the TTA video Decay did have TTA saying that he/they/she will be led to Alex, to Death, and To the Ark.

Hoody is almost assuredly TTA at this point, and it's sounding like he knew that his death was approaching. This could've been it.
