Not reading page after page, I'm sure what I have to say has been said.

Operator didn't think it was Jay, but I'm pretty damn sure Alex did. I'm fairly certain he did the same thing to Amy, and the end of the season will be something along the lines of Alex dying (Operator ends up wiping Jay's memory) Maskies end up going their own ways (thinking Jay is dead) Maybe Tim leaves Jessica (hoody) in the room next to jay to watch him but she forgets everything too (or maybe not, which is why Tim shows up, as I'm guessing Operator appears and eats Jessica (dead now) and Tim rushes to get Jay out (Operator in the room makes Jay teleport past him) and Tim follows, half to try and catch Jay and half to get away from Oppy. Season 3= horrible confrontation that ends with deletion of MH account.


I agreed with you in the beginning until you got to Amy. It doesn't really make sense.

Also, Marble Hornets would be the ballsiest series ever if they actually deleted the whole youtube account.

 		I still think it's Alex in noentry, and I even watched it again before coming to that conclusion. In fact, it brought me to that conclusion.

Look at how the glare from the end of the tunnel is wrapping around the figure, particularly its forearms. It's definitely a person with a T-shirt. Every time we've seen the Operator, he has had full-length "sleeves." If it's not Alex, it's someone else, but not the Operator.

As for video order: My take is 49-38-(50?)-29(noentry).

hopefully they can redeem the operator or something. he's lost all creepiness in my eyes. having him do things like this is just making him out to be more of a protagonist than an antagonist. even if it turns out alex/op are the bad guys, i still will look at them as good guys because they're etched in my head that way now. maybe not slendy, but alex definitely is. he could murder jay and it still wouldn't make him a bad guy in my eyes :\

What? I don't understand how Alex and TO can seem like anything but antagonists at this point. Alex just killed some random guy and made him a snack for Slendy, and he is aiming to do the same to Jay. What about this situation makes him seem like the good guy?

i hope that they're more skilled writers than the route they're going down (alex being a bad guy under slendys influence, slendy protects alex and the maskys are the good guys) because that story wouldn't make me shit bricks personally


Explain yourself please.

i don't think it's a bush. it starts moving right as it's focused on the frame for a few seconds (going up) and then comes back down just before the camera cuts out. way too well timed for it to be a bush




and i don't know. alex murdering some guy just doesn't make him a bad guy in my eyes. with so many people going missing and whatnot, someone getting murdered isn't a huge thing for me in this series. we still don't know that he's going to do the same to jay, and it's still possible that this guy wasn't completely innocent (just conveniently watches jay leave the forest and walks ALL THAT WAY to alex after jay leaves?). the only way i can see alex as a bad guy is if he legit loses all control and is inhabited by slendy to the max, and by that i mean no actual conversations with people showing alex is still human (yelling at jay for touching his tape, etc) because things like that are what makes me think alex is still a good guy. even if he does evil things, he's still human and researching slendy-related incidents to help himself out.

as far as slendy as an antagonist, we STILL have yet to see him do anything harmful to anyone. the only thing people say could be harmful is entry 14, but alex had blood on his face before slendy entered the room in entry 14 (as he turns the lights on and closes the door, when he comes back you can see blood on his face)

 		Unless Slendy's an herbivore and wants a yummy leaf I see no reason for his arm to be doing such a movement.

watch again

it moves up and then down slowly, and just as alex comes into frame, it stops (alex is in frame for like 3 seconds, you're gonna tell me the wind happened to stop at the exact time alex walked in)lol

even after the "removed this segment" bit, the "bush" is not moving in that spot

Murdering someone doesn't make him a bad guy? Granted, we don't know what Bruce was doing or if he was actually genuine, but at this point I think it's safe to assume he is some innocent bystander. I'm pretty sure Alex snapped, went off the deep end, and got Bruce stoned.

The Operator may not be doing anything obviously wrong or anything, but he's definitely the antagonist of the series so far. I don't see how that isn't clear cut here.

Hm. Well, killing innocent bearded men seems very antagonist to me. And also slendy has stalked people to near insanity and has (what is assumed) taken control of someone's body and used that body to murder, once again, a poor, innocent bearded man.

 		i'm just saying, to me, it doesn't make him a bad guy. i can totally see why it does to everyone else. as someone who has been watching since the day introduction was uploaded, i've grown with alex and i don't think he is truely a bad guy for murdering that guy. in this instance, i'm talking about this situation in my perspective, an opinion, if you will.

yes, they showed you this so that alex would be pinned as the antagonist. i just can't see him as a bad guy no matter what he does after having him be the most innocent out of everyone for the whole series

I don't know, to me it seems to have no purpose and is just... moving. It's also the same color as the surrounding plants so I just don't see it as the Operator's arm/tentacle when it's off to the side by a tree.

Unless Slendy's just trying to wave to alex to see if the scary part's over.

Also yeah killing a random guy and smashing his face into a rock makes someone the "bad guy", at least in my book. Alex is relatively innocent in the first season since he just wants to leave and be done with everything but his current-ish actions are extremely incriminating.

 		as far as people talking about the operator communicating with noise, i pointed out in entry 43 when alex hits the ground, the camera starts fast forwarding then blacks out for a second and when it comes back all the background noise is silent and you can hear someone say something (although it could just be TO making noise). i pointed this out multiple times and nobody ever looked into it so i just gave up on it.


also was he really a random guy

here's the sequence of events

- alex spots jay at the tunnel, jay runs. lets assume it takes jay 5 minutes to run back to his car and leave. he sees the white shirt guy standing there.
- alex sits in the tunnel for 15 minutes
- the white shirt guy walks into this secluded area of the forest, way off the path, and it takes him around 10 minutes to get there roughly judging by the time jay left.

this guy went out of his way to trek into that part of the forest, just to ask alex if he needed help? why are we denouncing the theory that this guy was following jay (and was the twig snapper), ran back to his car after TO spawned, and went back for alex once he saw jay leave.

we simply can't confirm that this guy is an innocent. i don't know anyone who would end up in that part of the forest randomly. what was that guy doing anyway? does he work for the town or something? who parks up at a forest and then walks in that far alone, and approaches someone sitting at the end of a creepy tunnel
