Hoodie does look a lot like Admiral Akbar...

It really depends on the material used for the fabric, and any dyes used in coloring.

Heck, even things that you do to a fabric can mess with it's IR properties.

For example, the good old fashioned Battle Dress Uniforms [the old camouflage that the military just stopped using] was designed to appear dark when looked at with NV equipment. However, if a soldier [in their quest to make everything look crisp] starched their uniform, the uniform would become bright as day under NV equipment.

So, in essence, a discrepancy between normal light appearance and NV appearance should be expected at least some of the time. If the black mask is made of a different material than the hoodie proper, than it would make sense.

I'm for once very skeptical of whether that's even a different mask since it's night vision and all but let's just say for argument's sake say it is. Maybe Troy and Joseph weren't satisfied with Hoody's look from 41, maybe they even shot this entry with Hoody's original mask and decided it looked like crap and re-shot the entry with a new mask(According to Troy's twitter they had to re-shoot this entry) and decided it wasn't a big deal since we could barely see Hoody in Entry 41 and we can barely see him in this entry since it was shot on night vision and all.

You want your "antagonists" to have clear and memorable introductions like Masky and Hoody did. You want the audience to clearly know this is a new character they haven't seen before. In other words you want something about their look to STAND OUT. Masky has his mask and Hoody has his hood. If this is a new character then there's nothing about him that stands out to tell him apart from Hoody(the color of the mask doesn't count since we can't tell what color it is with the night vision) which would mean Troy and Joseph fucked up, and I personally don't think they would make a mistake like that considering they've handled new characters quite well in the past.

In contrast look at Masky and Skully, even though the both wear white masks we know they re different characters because both their masks have designs that stand out. We know this even though we saw Skully for maybe 2 seconds. We saw this hooded character for about a minute and we can't decide if it's the same character as before or someone new. I'm pretty sure it's the same character as before and people are just overanalyzing his look but whatever.

Night vision doesn't really change colors. It just absorbs light differently. Hoodies cowl could easily have still been black or dark and shown bright in night vision, just like when they found the blood on the wall in the underground area. In that scene they had to change from night vision to regular in order for us to actually see the blood that was being shown, because it's light reflected differently and was tough to make out.

Nice!

Personally, Hoodie's look has always reminded me of a Tonberry from Final Fantasy.

Thanks for clearing that up to me. Makes a lot of sense.

Once again, check my post on page 29.

Observations:
1. TO does make an appearance in Alex's window around the 0:37 mark, when he opens the blinds you can see the V of TO's suit and the tie.


This was a trick of the light due to the backlighting in Alex's apartment. Someone posted a link to a gif back on page 14, that shows the sequence in motion and you can tell that it is just a reflection of the room behind Alex.
The unfocusing is suspected to be the camera autofocus adapting to the deeper field of vision that opening the blinds would case.

Not trying to beat you down on this, but just wanted to revisit this fact since it was 20+ pages ago and it was probably easily forgotten or overlooked at this point in the discussion.

In any regards, welcome.

Did we watch the same Entry 41?

Anyways, we're just going to have to wait this out like we always do. Hopefully the next TTA response will pose some clear answers regarding the multiple TTA theory which has been blatantly hinted as being true.

Hey, it's no worse than that "is that hoody or not" malarky. Would you rather I asked about his bigass keychain?

EDIT: I apologize for not reading all the entries, but did we conclude what NVH is, if anything? Or if the branches spell something else?

(Bold emphasis mine)
Okay, this is mainly tongue in cheek and/or grasping at straws, (so, to be redundant, take it with a grain of salt), but it wasn't until Capercorn's post that seeing NVH in the branches might actually mean anything. As soon as I saw Capercorn's post abbreviating 'night vision' to 'NV', the first thing that came to mind is that NVH could stand for 'Night Vision Hint'.

Again, please don't take this post seriously, it's just something that randomly popped into my head. Whatever is going on in those branches is probably nothing.

Clearly, the next totheark response cannot come soon enough.

Agreed.

Like I said, my comment was merely tongue in cheek. I honestly don't believe there's anything in the branches, despite focus being on them for longer than a few seconds. The collective majority seem to think that, when Troy & Co focus on anything for more than 5 seconds, it has significant meaning. That's not always the case. I think the only steady shot we saw that could potentially mean anything is the focus on Hoody.
