I was genuinely confused about what you meant with #7.

It would matter, since it makes no sense in-universe for the MH youtube channel to suddenly have videos uploaded to it that have nothing to do with the events of the series and couldn't have logically been uploaded by any MH character. But Trospehim know that the series will flop super hard if it's not uploaded on to an already successful channel.

Troy wouldn't talk about it because he doesn't care. This is highly evident from how he talked at length about how they had been filming, then casually mentions it's not MH related, and the manner in which he showed hesitance to talk about MH ending, believing there wasn't anything to say on the matter. Also why does Joseph say it's the end and reflect on it if it isn't really?

If you don't think Jessica's a damsel in distress, I don't know what to say. All she does is get captured or threatened by The Operator, Alex, Masky and Hoody over and over and scream. She develops symptoms of slendersickness at an incredibly rapid rate for no reason other than the plot requires her to be a damsel in distress. Jay's primary motivation for a good chunk of the series is to save her.

I agree Jessica being the lead of a season is a good idea but besides it being highly impractical for Trosephim to use a hired actress as a lead character, they've long since demonstrated that they won't ever use a female character for anything other than either someone who needs to be saved or in Sarah's case, absolutely nothing.

Come on, your madcap (probably troll) theory is fun to pick apart, don't start the "if you don't like it, get off" tedium. What's next, I can't dislike it because it's free? Accept opinions that differ from yours. Your ideas for the series are a lot more interesting than Trosephim's if that makes you feel better.

I'm positive MH is over. And even if it wasn't, I wouldn't want Jessica as the lead, because I never had a reason to really care about her.

Seriously, they brought her back from the presumed dead to say "look, she's fine", only to make her fate ambiguous again two minutes later. What the hell?

Troy and Joseph are totally capable of writing females who aren't damsels in distress. Jessica, Amy, and Sarah all fucking left town and they decided at that point it was too late to introduce a lot of new characters. But they've said they wanted to bring them back, it just didn't get to happen. Also, Jessica isn't ever a damsel. Masky knocks her out and puts her somewhere else. By that logic Jay is a damsel too in Entry #19 and Entry #61 and like a million other entries where he is moved somewhere against his will.

Jessica is a badass against Alex in Entry #76.

And if Jessica is a damsel then so is Alex. Jay doesn't know where they are for a while, but neither or them are "captured" or "need to be saved". Jay litetally wants to find out if Alex needs any help, and later he has the same motivation with Jessica. But there's nothing damsel-ish about it.

As for Alex looking for Amy in Season 2, it's later implied he's already murdered her. The same is implied about Sarah and Seth as far as their being missing goes. None of those characters are damsels. There are no damsels in Marble Hornets. Jay kinda thinks there are damsels at some points, but even that's kinda missing the point. Jay wants to get down to the bottom of the mystery and all the various people he's "saving" are like excuses. The story is made more interesting in that nobody actually needs saving.

With Jessica it turns out she actually got her shit together better than any of those characters, and even with her fate left ambiguous you're left with the idea that Tim was keeping Jay away from her because he didn't actually need to help her, and really shouldn't have.

But yeah anyway Marble Hornets is totally over.

I don't really wanna debate and this is derailing so I'll keep this very short.

The difference is Jessica never does anything other than display damsel in distress qualities. Even after her badass moment, she's immediately punished for trying to be anything except a damsel by getting slendernapped. With such poorly handled female characters, it would've been better if they had never been introduced in the first place, as to get around how little they could be used, they were made to be damsel in distress figures for a long time, and if they ever became something different it was something similarly trite like a name on the list of victims who's barely mentioned or someone who has no idea what's going on.
