Entry #29

[Milkdudds92]

Can the mods please please PLEASE delete all these annoying threads from people claiming to have found the secret to MH or think they have brand new ideas (You Are My Ark, Alex R. Kralie, etc.) PLEASE. It makes my brain hurt. People don't need to post a new thread for every single theory they have!

[Libris]

So, I'm a little new to the marble hornets (just marathon-ed the whole thing in the dead of last night, very, very bad idea) but I find all of this fascinating and my mind turning with the mythos.

(I'm assuming this kind of discussion goes here since making new threads for theories seems to be discouraged and I've seen this thread pointed to from others, but please forgive me if I'm mistaken.)

Here's a couple things I've noticed that really intrigue me and some theories thereof;

I don't think the Operator is necessarily an antagonist in the traditional sense, or at the very least his intentions aren't. I'm not saying he's benign, since I believe his very presence (going with the theory that he, er, operates on a semi-quantum scale) causes the human mind to warp/break fathoming his existence, he distorts time and space, and I believe he has a goal he is working for (either to find the ark, or keep it from TTA and others) that he needs human intervention for. As far as his actions (and therefore motivations) it fascinates me that he's done nothing... well, aggressive, looming aside. I don't think that hurting Alex or J (or whatever has happened to the rest of the crew) is his goal.

I'm making a couple assumptions here. One, there is only one Operator, and two, because it's never mentioned he has appeared (physically) out of a camera's lens, he hasn't (I'd love to see that addressed in a future entry since it lynchpins much of my theory on what he is). A little bit of this may be rehash since I'm a newbie.

1) In nearly every video he has appeared the Operator him/itself has not made any movement besides some walking and shifting about. He doesn't approach Alex menacingly and he all but ignores J at first. The only event where it can actually be theorized he attacked someone was when he entered Alex's room, and even then, all we see is Alex's bloody head. I think a struggle did take place, and Alex's reaction afterwards is shock from proximity to the Operator's distortion zone or simply from the encounter. He does approach Alex several times and attempt to enter his house, but then again so does J. Because we see things from J's point of view his break-in is partially justified because of his desperation, but from an outside perspective it would be hostile. As of 29,

the operator doesn't distort the video. Find me oneinstance of distortion where it was just the operator present that distorted it, IMO it's Tim/Masky that cause the distortion.

Slender man doesn't, however, always cause the distortion. In entry 1 (I think) Alex films him outside and there is no distortion. Looking back, however, I suppose that it's more likely that SM causes the distortion, not Tim. I am disproved, and feels stupid

[theonewhoquestions]

Is the visual tearing not considered distortion?

[BranRainey]

Yes, Entry #1 has a tear in it and is therefore distorted, however slightly.

Both the Operator and Masky/Tim have appeared on camera with and without causing distortion. It's not terribly consistent, just as the type of distortion isn't.

Maybe the Ark is the key to destroying the Operator?
