I've always surmised that the mask was to obscure the eyes, hide the face, and therefore be either hidden from TO, or at least be able to be near TO without being slenderized. I do believe there is something to obscuring the eyes, based on J's eyes being circled in that hallway. TO just moved right past him as if he wasn't aware of his presence. The eyes HAVE been pointed to as being important.

That said, I feel as though they ran because even if they were hidden from TO, that he could still harm them if he moved to protect Alex.

Well shit, been reading this board for over a year now, I figure it's about time I throw my two cents in (although I should've signed-up when the name "Blasky" got coined so I could help put an end to that shit).

Firstly, stop debating the night-vision thing. Whether there's a new mask or not, it's very clear that the night vision did affect its appearance. Tim's mask looks to be made of plastic, which as mentioned earlier in the thread, absorbs and more importantly reflects light much different than Hoody's mask would. I didn't read the last few pages (but did read the first... about 30) and never once did I see any pro-nightvisioners point THIS out:


Alex's jet black shirt is grey in the woods. So if this IS Hoody, it's pretty much clear that his mask would turn grey as well (seeing as it's black cloth).

The part that really gets me is the eyes, and I think I may have figured that one out too.

Did my damnedest to enhance the screen from #45, but this is the best I've got. Firstly, the eyes are closer together (so it appears). It's a known OOG fact that Tim played Hoody in #41 and that it's clearly a different person in this entry. The mask could've been altered so the new actor/actress could actually see out of them (explaining why they may be closer together).

The problem is that the eyes are quite dark. The only explanation I can give here is that the "eyeholes" (clearly seen as a different color on the mask) are actually made of a different material than the black cloth of the mask, making them appear darker in the night vision. I've filmed quite a bit in nightvision, and the infrared really does do some unusual stuff in seemingly normal conditions.

I really would like to believe that this character is Hoody, but there's no solid evidence one way or the other, other than the fact that they both wear hoodies, until we get another video , I'm afraid.

Apologies if I'm just re-stating anything that already been said, just thought I'd throw my opinion in.

Welcome to the forums! (says the guy who started last week).

I think your picture proves it CANNOT be Hoody on the ground. I watched the video again and I think it is CLEARLY Hoody that Alex follows. You have such a beautiful closeup pic of the masked person there, it is clear to me (based on the footage of Hoody turning to face Alex from Mr. Magpie a page back), the mask fits him the SAME as 41 out in the open, while on the ground it does not.

So here is what I think:

Hoody lures Alex. Woodsy stands out in the open, Hoody makes the tackle, Tim comes in with the rock.

I'm okay with that theory, but I'm still inclined to believe that Woodsy is simply Hoody. I'm undecided either way, it just doesn't seem clear enough, but I'd like to believe that they'd have obviously wanted this character to have been interpreted as Hoody, otherwise they'd have made the character look drastically different, as opposed to speculatively vaguely different.

I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. It makes NO SENSE to show one hooded person, then have an entirely different one appear behind Tim as he threatens Alex. It is nonsensical.

Actually, I'm not sorry. This is silly! The point of this entry was to reintroduce Tim into the 6-Month timeline, and to show him and the new masked individual together, and also to show that TO is protecting Alex in some way.

It is NOT to randomly and with no purpose to show three separate masked individuals. Please see the forest for the trees.

That's pretty much what I'm leaning towards. The mask does look different, but, like I said, I'm chalking that one up to nightvision voodoo.

Ya know, I wonder if they specifically had Alex wear black just to help with the night vision... If not, it's a damn good coincidence.


I'm on board with the Hoody = "Woodsy" team. Like I mentioned before, not dramatic enough for a true character introduction and too complex to be a "hint".

(What I mean is like Entry #39 where the figure walked past. It wasn't clear enough to see who it was. It was a hint. I see Entry #41 as Hoody's true introduction.)

What do you mean it makes 'NO SENSE'? It makes complete sense. Tim was clearly injured; so why wouldn't it make sense for this entry to introduce a new masked maniac to lure/incapacitate Alex? When the multiple TTA theory has been blatantly hinted as being true! If our theories are correct (Woodsy/Masky/Blasky), the video STILL introduces Tim into the six month time-line and STILL shows that TTA members are working together!

Agreed. I mean, if I watched the video without the over-analytical Marble Hornets fan mindset, I'd just assume it was Hoody with no real reason to believe otherwise.

I've been reading all the post and, I just think something, inspired in a Starlitvixen's post and another people:

TTA is paying some tribute to TO, maybe because they are controlled by him.

Do you remember the last TTA video? The "Do I help or do I kill?" part maybe means they were proving its force or something like that and taking a decision: Kill or help TO.

So they decide to help TO, paying a sort of tribute to him (or directly being controlled by him) so they drag Alex into the woods. Then occurs all the thing of Tim appearing and menacing Alex until their Boss make its entrance.


On another topic, if you see the picture posted by mrc0x, where hoodie appears for first time and you study its body, you could see her boobs and even its long hair (guessing for the size of the head). The most probably thing is hoody is jessica, at least, for me. The odd thing is when you see hoodie running from Alex, is not a woman running, given the way Hoodie is running. When a woman runs, they move their arms very widly (for is skeletal structure), but not in this case. Maybe, this Hoodie is just another actor because the original is not available...

well, that's just my guesses XD

Agree with everyone who says that the hooded figure is the same as in #41.

I mean, dudes, we've already seen a person in a cloth mask and a hoodie before, no reason to assume it's not the same one right now. (I'd say "Occam's Razor" but that one guy with an idiotic name has overused that phrase very hard)

I'm not sure, though, if I like the idea behind this video, which is Tim not being on the same side as the Operator. How does relate to the Return video and Entry #23?

TROOOOY *shakes fist*

We clearly see the one that tries to kill Alex with a rock (how poetic) is Tim, as Masky.
About the second person:
-I instantly remembered Jīs face in "Return". If Slendy can control/hypnotize Alex to an extent, I think J is also vulnerable.
-I feel it is Hood, and just didnīt use his (her?) black mask this time.

---
Can we be sure they ran away from Slender Man at the end? He certainly WAS there, but could have they been scared of him?
Or they lured him into the woods for SM and left when "he was next"? They are scared of him but they are also with him?
-
I lost track of this thread a bit ago, might check if this has been said.

Actually, I don't think the Operator is actually in this video. It's strongly suggested that he's off screen, especially thanks to the video tearing, and an old clip of him is used in the distortion when Alex rages... but he wasn't actually captured on cam this time around.

By now, I'm fairly certain the characters know the threat The Operator poses, whatever it is. The visual tear also greatly implies he appeared.

Also, I am 99.9% certain the second masked figure is Hoody, and unless we get a TTA video of Hoody going "THAT'S NOT ME YOU SILLIES", I'm sticking to it.

Basically what I think.

But yeah, I think this vid may put Tim and Hoody in a more "anti-hero" light. As in, they're trying to stop Alex who's been Operator-possessed. Either that, or Tim is just really mad that Alex broke his leg with a rock. I think I might be wrong though. Either way, it's fairly obvious from the last few entries that the Operator has control over Alex now.

What I'm wondering now is, what the heck was Jay doing during those three months? Surely he must've recorded himself, right? Has anyone tweeted Jay about this yet?
