What if Hoody never reveals themselves?

Like, season finale, Jay kicks in a door to find Seth editing a TTA video, while logged into TTA youtube, and also looking at the compromising photos he has of Jay.

Just so we are sure it is TTA. But it never actually unmasks Hoody. So most of the fandom just assume, okay, so now we know who Hoody is. But everyone here is like: "So BRIAN is HOODY!?!?" "NO It's Future Jay!?" "No Jessica!?" "Pffft It's obviously The Operator's Split personality from the future"


Also, OT: at the beginning of season 2 I really thought Jess was going to play a more major role and go deeper into the trenches (like we would see her on tapes, I mean her and Jay were in exactly the same situation at the beginning) What if Alex's GF was TTA the entire time (and "keeping tabs on Alex") and Jess was Hoody, her henchwoman. IDK, they built jess up and then just brushed her away.


Anyway, carry on

This saddens me. I care not about Amy. She was obviously just motivation. But they let us SEE Jess. Like her fears and stuff. And she just vanished. Her being in that hotel with almost no memory as to what happened (obviously something crazy because her friends thought she drunkedly destroyed her house) and was in the same hotel as Jay with his safe's pass code. It seems Jay trusted her.

And we only see a small window into those 7months (for example, why did jay have any contact with Jessica at all? He isn't the type to drag people into this) I feel like they went through a lot other than the one time Alex almost shot them.

If she doesn't come back, or at least get a proper write off (such as "the operator eats everyone he kidnaps" okay we can assume Jess has been eaten)it will just seem like poor story telling to introduce a character with so much mystery and not reveal anything about her and kill her off before she even leaves her room.

Even if they just find more tapes from the 7months explaining her role, I'd be satisfied.

But if Jess is TTA. Then that explains why Alex would try to kill her and why she disappeared when masky showed up. (She screamed and jumped out the window. After making sure Jay would find the code)

Unlikely, but still possible to write it in.

I think she'll show up again and get a bit more development. But, as of right now, her sole purpose is to give Jay someone to work for. It puts nobility back into his actions. Originally, he was investigating this because he thought Alex was in trouble. But, since Alex has been established as a villain, they didn't want Jay to become motivated solely by revenge against Alex. He's working to save Jessica and undo all the damage he's done to her life as well.

I think she'll be developed, but for her to be TTA would negate the entire purpose of her character. It would take away all of her innocence and Jay would be left without anyone he needs to fight for because of feeling personally responsible. If anything, being TTA would be a step backwards in her characterization.

That all sounds pretty good to me.

I posit, also, that Troy wanted to avoid any sort of awkward romantic-sublevel. The series as a whole seems to revolve around themes of isolation, fear and paranoia. Having Jessica as a major character, someone openly sympathetic to Jay, would have turned it into more of a cliché fantasy jaunt than the dark, dark creation it is now. I also agree with your conclusions about 'Jessica-as-Totheark'. I think that she won't make any significant return. I wouldn't be surprised if she never returned, even if she is the sole casualty.

Hmm... guess I kinda lost sight of the topic at hand. It must be around here somewhere...

I'm starting to think they're going to have to draw this out by at least one more season... I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Seasons 4 and 5.

I just watched Entry 61, again. The frame of Hoody is close to that of Jessica-- flat chested, slim and about the same height.

This would make sense, as Jessica was kicked out Alex's apartment, then when she met Jay his camera acted peculiarly around her. I am fully convinced that Jessica is ToTheArk, or at least part of it.

Just a thought, not a full-out theory, but is there a possibility that if TTA is more than one person, one of the people is somebody unrelated to the original MH?

Like, say it's a duo. TTA #1 is Hoody, the half who was actually at MH. He is the "brawns" of the duo and actually goes out, films Jay and Tim and Alex, has footage from 2006, and wears the outfit. TTA #2 is the "brains", who just stays at home and edits the film and leaves cryptic messages for Jay. He even hacks the account sometimes. Thing is, TTA #2 hasn't ever been exposed to Slendy himself, and he either is too scared to go out or TTA #1 knows what would happen and doesn't want to lose his other half. So TTA #2 is most likely even a new character, someone Jay or Alex or Tim might have never even met or if they did it was through TTA #1 in passing sometime in 2005-2006, before MH even started.

I've sat here since 8:00 trying to explain this as simple as possible. Hopefully that makes sense.

I guess my issue is that the main protagonist and antagonist aren't always the brightest bulbs in the box. I don't see why their old friends that were not presented in Amy special way, would become so important and knowledgeable. Like I don't see it being inevitable. Troy is going to have to convince me WHY and HOW the MH crew became TTA


Although, if TTA's history and motives are revealed, I don't really care WHO it is. I just want to know WHY and HOW?
