^ Agree, I find it amusing that people are analyzing something which even in a narratological level would be pointless and not important instead of, let's say, Tim hitting the wall with the metal tube (I know it's been adresses, I'm just making an example here), or saying that the dead guy wasn't Bruce.

Alas, that's why I love unFiction anyway.

[TheOperator]

I'm also beginning to think that The Operator can't actually kill anyone and needs to use a "host" to do it. That's what he's using Alex for. Perhaps Alex is nothing more than a mind-controlled victim? It's also looking like The Operator may have been originally been Tim's doctor but rather than help him, he performed sadistic tests on him. He was eventually found out and was killed at Rosswood, perhaps by being burned or drowned. Now he's a malicious ghost trying to get revenge on Tim and his circle of childhood friends. He apparently failed to achieve his objective the first time, as at the very least, Tim survived the attack on the Marble Hornets set. When Jay started investigating the tapes, The Operator was able to resurface and attempt to kill everyone again.

If The Operator's objective is to kill those involved with the Marble Hornets shoot other than possibly Alex, the targets we know are still alive are Jay and Tim. However, Alex told Jay to leave in entry #64 and didn't show up to help out The Operator. Either that was Alex trying to help out during a moment in which he managed to shake off TO's control or Jay and Tim aren't the only ones alive. TO and Alex may be trying to use them as bait to lure out Hoody(Brian or Seth?) and possibly totheark, if totheark is a separate person.

Why do Masky and Hoody cause distortion? The kind of distortion that seems the camera is under water or something

[missingnocchi]

I think it's definitely Bruce. We saw him wearing a white button up shirt before, which was clearly left behind after TO took him (as seen in Entry 29) which explains its absence in 65. It would also be uncharacteristic of the creators to use the corpse of an unknown character as a red herring. You know how Troy feels about filler. Besides, the fact that Tim was taken at the precise location where Bruce was killed and also taken would lead one to assume that they ended up in the same place.

I would also like to point out that this entry possibly explains totheark's message from Operator: Lakes In Stillness will Take Every life of the Night

I think the only reason the Operator hasn't done a lot to physically harm any of the characters is to build up what he can and will do later on... and I expect that it will be horrific, but still so vague that it has to be interpreted as to what happens. (Like everything else he does.)

I just had a bit of a thought, possible revelation, and I thought I'd post it here. I know this is odd coming from the guy who said "we can't understand The Operator," but it makes an odd sense, and it all goes back to the camera's and early footage, so hear me out.

Think about the early footage, where there is no distortion when The Operator is on camera. What does this mean? That there's some kind of control, or perhaps limit on The Operator's influence.

Okay, so, what was the difference between the early footage and the current stuff? Well, in the beginning, both Alex and Jay shared a morbid curiosity in who The Operator was. "Who's that guy on my porch?" is a different reaction than "Oh god, no, The Operator." However, the more they investigated, the more they found disturbing, and then we start to get distortion. When people see The Operator, they flee instinctively, and now we're seeing The Operator teleport people through reality and completely garble footage. Again, think about the early stuff, the footage damage was minor, missing and distorted audio, flickering, etc.

So what? What's the difference between then and now?

Fear.

I know I'm gonna sound nuttier than squirrel poop, but I think The Operator feeds off of or is energized or can amplify and manipulate fear. What proof do I have apart from the footage? Alex. When Jay snuck into his apartment and then fled, The Operator was right on Alex, there was no chance of escape... and yet he confronts him shortly after. Alex doesn't fear the Operator anymore, or as much as anyone else, so the Operator couldn't take him. Same thing goes for Masky and TTA, they don't fear The Operator, so we don't see them directly influenced by him. Tim is terrified of The Operator though, and look what happened to him in Entry 65.

One last point: What about the filming of Marble Hornets? They all forgot about it, forgot everything. Jay can't even recall a thing about it apart from the title, and he played a key role in it, supervising the script. The Operator stalked them all, and they hunted him at some point, and then they forgot it all. That's why they were safe! The Operator had no influence over Jay between Marble Hornets... and starting to watch the tapes. Why was Jay able to be free? I don't know, this has something to do with The Ark likely, but I don't know yet.

Sorry for the ramblings, and thank you for listening.

^ Refer to the Entry #14 thread for further discussion about early and after distortion.

And that's some fancy explanation, but to me it just works the way arround: people are the ones which causes distortion. That's why even Jessica has had some without the Operator appearing. Nothing about Slendy feeding on fear like some dementor or anything. And, as stated in Entry #14 thread, in a non-narratological aspect, it was just that Trosephim hadn't decided to use it so much as they did later. That's it.

[LBfly]

But Jay never caused any distortion...
They often happen when one of the characters is yelling (anger, fear, confusion). Jessica, Tim... and whenever Hoody and Masky are around. It cant be a coincidence!
