Ah, so we're at that point in the cycle where no one can prove their theories because the series isn't over, so we've degenerated to jokes that really weren't funny or original the first time they showed up here.

Okay.

I proved my theory before degenerating to jokes that weren't really funny or original the first time they showed up here, I'll have you know.

I figured it out

Jay = Alex = Hoody = totheark = Seth

The Alex we see in the entries where Jay and Alex appear onscreen at the same time is actually just Alex's twin. Alex got plastic surgery, changed his name to "Jay", and uploaded a bunch of his old videos to throw off suspicion so he could continue sacrificing people to the operator. He conveniently cut the audio out of all entries that mentioned him having a twin

And you'll notice that Seth never appears onscreen with Jay except like one time which seems pretty suspicious to me

Also Sarah is the Operator, I think that goes without saying

Mysteries solved, everyone pack up your things


Best theory yet.

As I began to see the series near the end of the second season and I can not read everything that is written here, I wonder if there has been talk about Seth's relation with TO. It is curious that in all appearances of the operator on the set of Marble Hornets, Seth is not present. Although he was the cameraman, he never caught any images of TO, or at least, Jay not found when he reviewed the videos. Suspicious. Seth Could be Hoody, TTA, and the head of the apparitions of TO...

If you're suggesting that Seth will turn out to be the Operator, then I just don't see it. Unless they really set something like that up ahead of time, and it was really clever, then I hate the idea that the Operator is anything so mundane as a living human being. After all that's happened, I think anything that portrays TO as weaker than an eldrich horror would be a serious letdown. It's one thing for him to have an exploitable weakness (maybe that's what the ark is about), but for TO to be caused or controlled by a regular person, rather than acting on his own unknowable agenda, it would make him far less horrifying than initially portrayed.

Seth may very well be TTA, but I seriously doubt he's got a more serious connection to the Operator. Also, on a nitpicky note, I really don't think that an amateur shoot like Marble Hornets, especially one with the minimal, cheap equipment they were using, would have a well-defined "cameraman" other than the director himself. That's just not how it works on that kind of student set. All we've ever gotten about Seth and a camera was when he mistakenly turned one off during "Entry #9." That's not enough to make the leap that "Seth = cameraman, therefore x."

At this point we can say that TTA Hoddy, prowls repeatedly by sighting locations of TO. In "Exit" shows images prior to sighting in #13, taken from a nearby place. Then Alex finds the symbol. In #56 I believe seeing the word "watching" written in a column in the room where TO appears, also saw the symbol in downstairs,it is curious also that TTA has used precisely this image of the operator in "Isolation" (I was there?). In #40/41 after the encounter of Jay with TO, a mile inside the park Jay runs, and hoody, he picks up the camera and go back to the car in what looks like a quiet ride, reaching the car long before Jay leaves the forest ... In #60 we heard steps over the maintenance tunnel before the onset of TO. Hoody knew that Jay would be there. In "Return" someone had to record the scene ...
I'm just saying that ...

Seth may not be the only camera man, but he is definitely the main editor of the film. Which I would say is more proof for Seth being Hoody/TTA then being a camera operator.

As an OOG comment on the Seth = totheark/Hoody theory, I do want to point out that Troy and Joseph admitted in a Q&A panel that the guy who plays him was pretty much just in there because he was the then-boyfriend of the girl who played Sarah. And Troy has had a pretty clear vision of where he wanted MH to end up throughout the whole series, so if you think about those two facts... It doesn't seem likely that they would make him a very pivotal character in the series.

Although, for what it's worth, I do like the theory that Seth (or Brian, actually) might be behind TTA. I guess we'll have to wait and see Very Happy

I'll have you know you've "proved" exactly as much as everyone else.

Which is none. No single theory is any more legitimate than any other. Some are less asinine and ridiculous, though.

I backed up my stance with solid evidence from the show and proved that one possibility was far more likely than others based on what we currently know. Nothing is conclusive, sure, but I wasn't claiming anything was.

And as such are, by extension, more legitimate.

I figured this was dead, but since it clearly is not, are we referring to the "Tim is the entirety of Totheark" thing?

Because that has been proved...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
false

I don't think he's TTA, but how has it been proven false? Just curious.

Not that Tim is Totheark, that Tim is the only one doing all of this. That is impossible, because Hoody & Masky have appeared simultaneously on multiple occasions. There has to be at least 2 people.

Maybe he was the editor. The only line I can remember that comes close to suggesting that Seth was involved with the editing was in 54 when Alex mentions that he'd been looking at the footage with Seth. They could have been doing that together for a number of other reasons. Maybe I've forgotten something obvious.

If Seth was the editor, then maybe that shows that he has access to editing software, and that could be taken as evidence, but not proof, that Seth is TTA. However, with home editing software at a level of user-friendliness never seen before, anybody could have done the videos, so even that evidence would be relatively weak. I'd be more interested in finding out who had the kind of technical expertise to hack Jay's accounts and put "noentry" on his laptop - those are skills that TTA may have (if Jay isn't doing it blacked out) -- skills that aren't common or easy to come by.

I do think that Seth makes a good candidate for TTA, I just don't understand why so many fans have latched on to the idea that he was a cameraman or editor as evidence for it. When were these roles so definitively established? Has the Operator blanked my memory?

I don't think the roles were ever definitively established - fans just seem to have gotten carried away when guessing who TTA is. We really don't have a lot of evidence for anyone being TTA; we just have evidence against a few people being it.
