Goddammit, it's movie night for totheark.
Maybe totheark just wants to watch MH like we do, occasionally making video responses and killing people. Laughing

sorry. read through half of the thread. hope this hasn't been covered.

i've a very big feeling that tothestrangled had actually been following alex. it doesn't seem to be a short walk to the tunnel from the parking lot. there's a 15 minute gap between jay running away and bruce arriving. assuming jay and bruce walk at similar speeds, bruce had 7-8 minutes to get to alex.

since it's not a short walk, i feel like he had to make a bee line straight for alex. the coincidence of him just happening to walk deep into a forest exactly where alex is is very slim.

whether this makes bruce one of the hooded dudes, i don't know. or what his motivation would be if he's following alex why he'd reveal himself. i'm just saying that he could have wanted to follow alex, but saw jay go after him, and decided to wait. once he saw jay leave, he knew he was clear and went to alex.

I think Bruce is just an innocent bystander. My guess is that he may have seen Ninjay following Alex and thought it was suspicious. Being smart, he didnt follow in case Ninjay was a killer, so he waited until Jay came back, then went in to make sure that Alex was ok. Then got wtfpwned by Alex.

Poor Bruce...

He just wanted to help!

What if the attack was meant to fail?


Curse you. I'm going to be in paranoid mode all day now.

What if the pair weren't scared off by the Operator, but fully expected him to show up? The attack in #45 bears some resemblance to this one; we thought Tim's rock was a pointed reference to his own injury, but what if they've seen Alex do this before, and are trying to figure out how the trick works?
Or maybe they wanted to suggest the rock thing to him so when he had an opportunity later on, he'd do unto others as he thought Tim was about to do unto him.

@redherring: Uh, the guy looked unconscious but I can't see any reason to assume he was necessarily already dead. It's far from clear. But whacking the guy full-force in the face with a rock 4 times with him entirely unable to defend himself would have finished the job one way or another. And hell, maybe the face-wrecking thing really was part of the point.


I suppose that could be true. Even if Alex isn't traditionally the guy who likes finishing what he started (*cough*MarbleHornets*cough*) I feel like, anymore, he wants to ensure that this guy does not follow him again (something he said about Tim too... he didn't kill Tim, but he implied that he should have... hmm...).

Also, again not sure if this was brought up (forgive me if so) but there are always a few options for what's going on here. Was Alex 'feeding' Slendy? Seems to be the popular opinion. But at the same time, what if Slendy was simply 'cleaning up' Alex's mess. No body, no evidence (well, except the bloody rock and possibly shirt). [/more random thoughts]

Not sure if this has been said, but Alex smashes Bruce's face with a rock. Could this be to remove his face for the operator?


This was also my first impression! TO wants Jay and Alex is Jay's best friend, so he don't want that TO gets Jay. So I think when Bruce appears from behind Alex first think it is jay to punch him and send him back where he came from. After he notice, that this isn't jay and also in the back of his mind, that the operator is some sort of controlling him and also want jay, he pushes him and "take" his face to somekind help Jay out and safe him for being stalked and maybe taken by TO.
This "face-theory" also fits with the masky one, that Tim/Maksy is wearing this, that TO don't know who he is, like Bruce. Maybe Alex thinks if he don't "see" his face, he don't know quite who he is.

Just my two cents.


Also I got a nice screenshot, just for the one in this thread, that asked for some screenshots of the distortion:

Okay, so I asked a doctor friend of mine about blood coagulation. While she's no criminology expert, she told me that in the case of a "pool" of blood, it'll likely stay fresh for a few hours and then dry up. In other words, assuming that entry #29 occured one day after #49, it's impossible that the fresh blood in the tunnel is Bruce's, unless of course:

1. At some point between those two days it rained, and the blood got mixed with water, keeping it 'fresh'/liquid enough by the time Jay gets to the tunnel.
2. Troy and Joseph didn't get their facts right before filming.

Did anyone else notice the white flailing shit at about 3:30 on the right side of the tunnel? Or is that just a bush and entirely insignificant? Thought it was odd.

Speculation time! I think this is what the rest of the season will look like. Right after entry 38, Alex will attempt to kill J. J will knock Alex out and take his chest cam. Then he heads to the tunnel and entry 29's events start.

Wow.

Wow.

I had to say that twice.

I admittedly haven't read through all the replies yet (I am, in fact, at work), but I'm liking the speculations about the relationship of Alex to the Operator.

As for my own: I'm wondering how conscious Alex is of actions like the one seen here, or if there's a lapse. If there is, it could be chalked up to mind control of Slendy over Alex, but I wonder if the split could come from Alex himself. I'm almost beginning to think that (and I'm sorry if this has been covered elsewhere) Slenderman maybe isn't an outside force, but the manifestation of something that comes from within the psyche unleashed on the real world (er, alternate real world). That's a little out there, of course, but I'm just going over all the possibilities. (It would also require that the MH universe has a collective consciousness of sorts, as other people see/experience Slendy, and Jessica may allude to experiencing something menacing like Slendy in childhood. I don't know. That's a bit far-fetched. But it's worth mentioning.) Of course, Alex could be the one in control. One of the things I'm liking about his character, which I saw a lot of in this entry, is the serious split in his personality, and the concept of being in and out of control.

Sorry, that was really long and probably way overly analytical. I was an English major. It was trained into me. Smile
