I could be wrong, but I was pretty sure one of the twisted up faces in Inquiry was supposed to be Seth. Too lazy to check though.

Anyway, we don't really have any hard IG evidence pointing towards ANYONE for Hoodie's identity, so while I don't see how Sarah is more likely than Seth or Brian, I don't see why Seth or Brian are more likely than Sarah either. Most of the evidence pointing towards Brian is OOG stuff, like the fact that he was at that event and that Trosephim have intentionally started having the characters mention him more. But IG the only thing we absolutely know about Hoodie is that it can't be Alex, Jay, or Tim. Any other character is fair game.

As for Jessica, well it's true that she wasn't involved in MH. However this season has made it pretty clear that Tim had troubles with Oppy long before becoming involved with MH. And Jessica is from the same town as Tim. So I don't see why not being involved with MH automatically knocks her out of the running.

Amy was Alex's girlfriend in 2009 and Jessica was her (Amy's) roommate.

They were not involved in the production of Marble Hornets.

I think it's Jessica. To summarise what I said in the Entry #33 thread, she's the only one who could have known to write down the combination to Jay's safe but it's drawn with an Operator symbol and Jay was not given it until he found it. She also had the chance to encounter the Operator since her roommate was attacked, so it's completely possible for it to be her.

I also think it's highly unlikely to be Sarah or Seth because casual viewers wouldn't even remember they existed. Hoody should at least be someone who's face was on the screen for more than 3 minutes.

Quote:
And why would TTA post a video that translates to "she's out there" if it was referring to itself? Makes no sense.


Jessica is why Jay is still trying to figure things out. Hoody can use that to their advantage, even if they are Jessica. Although to be more accurate, I think Hoody is an alternate personality of Jessica.

Not sure if you're talking to me or not, but:

No, it was a response to McGregor and Debaser.

>I know "we can't use builds as evidence," but I think there's a difference between using a person's specific build & pointing out that generally, Hoody's got a pretty masculine frame. I highly doubt they would do that if they wanted to later sell people on the idea that Hoody is a chick.

>Jessica was not necessarily the only person to have that knowledge, considering that Jay is constantly being spied on. Though it does seem weird that someone would leave him the combination rather than just opening the safe.

That's debatable.

And anyway, it's easier to make a smaller person look bigger than it is to make a bigger person look smaller.

If you have counter-evidence, by all means, go ahead. But I don't see any female characteristics on Hoody. Furthermore, the only actors I'm aware of who are confirmed to have played him were male, & we know they have a problem getting a hold of female actors.

If they have a problem getting hold of female actors and we're not supposed to take Hoody's build into consideration, I don't see what's so outlandish about Hoody turning out to be female. Notice they went to the trouble of covering Hoody's entire body, even his/her hands. The alternative to using male actors would have been going to the trouble of using a hired actor every single entry Hoody's in, which I imagine would have delayed things quite a bit.

Because it would be moronic? There's a big difference between determining which specific person it is, & determining whether it's probably a boy or a girl. Most people can do the latter without much real difficulty, especially since Hoody's the fucking Hulk in some entries.

Now, when Troy plays Hoody, sure, they could sell him as a chick. But when it's someone like Brian or Tim...yeah, no one's buying it.

Yeah, it's not good to base theories on the build of Hoody, considering Troy, Alex, Tim, and Brian have all played as him (I'm pretty sure).

I do think that we can almost safely say that Hoody is male though. I just feel like if a girl were to wear that outfit, they would look significantly different with the breasts and the hips and all.

I chose Brian for my vote. I sort of hope I'm wrong, but it'd be fine with me if it was him.

I can't believe two have voted for Sarah, Looks like some people can't see the difference between male and female.

Well I'm not buying that a big guy could pull off the pixie-ish figure Hoodie had in S2, especially entry 45. (Coincidentally, entry 45 is the only entry where they may have used the real actor.) I have an easier time believing that a girl could pull off a larger appearance by wearing a baggy hoodie on top of another hoodie than I do believing that a big guy just shaved off his fat to look smaller. Like I said before, it's easier to make a small person look bigger than it is to make a big person look smaller. And anyway, like you said yourself, they have hard time getting hold of female actors and using Troy isn't always an option, they have to use anyone they can get. It's just pure lunacy to speculate on the gender of someone who covers up their entire body in a baggy hoodie and keeps their face covered all the time. Especially when said person is played by different actors all the time. We absolutely can't use body build as evidence for their identity in anyway.

I still think Hoodie could end up being a guy or a girl. You're the one who is claiming that it can't be a girl. The burden of proof is on you, not me.

Your opinions are not legitimate counterarguments.

It may have been better to have Hoody wear baggier trousers to make his/her shape shifting a little more believable. Either way, the inconsistency isn't a big deal to me personally and I agree that just using another argument based on builds isn't very convincing. It's a fact that OOG elements are not supposed to be used to determine Hoody's identity and it's also a fact that female actors are hard to use on a regular basis for Trosephim. They just use who is most convenient, even if it means Hoody's build changing.
