Did Jay DEFEAT The Operator?

To start things off, I want to bring up the argument that Jay either charged The Operator in 52 (which I personally believe due to his Save Jessica Battlecry), or that he was simply being sucked towards The Operator.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I want to note that we don't see tall and slendy in present time, and I don't think a mention of him has been given on twitter either. Could Jay's Big Damn Hero and Power of Love of caused Slendy to of been temporarily defeated?

(or at least a tie, Jay did lose 7 months of his life.)

Interesting concept.

My personal theory is that in the MH universe Slendy can be summoned. We see him at the hotel room because Alex summoned him, and maybe asked him to wipe their memories clean.

I don't think the Operator is dead or defeated by simply being charged at...that would be anticlimactic and slightly lame...

Oh yeah, I would second the definite lameness of The Operator dying from a charge from a measly Jay.

To clear things up though, what I meant was maybe The Operator may be empowered by negative emotions. Paranoia, fear, and anger are all things that all seem to be associated with those who come in contact with The Operator, so maybe the opposite end of the emotional spectrum does some minor damage with him such as Jay's selflessness doom charge.

I could definitely see Alex gaining the ability to summon The Operator at will after the forest meeting/slendied away in his sleep.

EDIT:

Also, assuming the above is true, we know that Alex keeps up with Jay's videos. Why not just summon Oppy again to do another memory wipe as soon as Jay was back on track?

Great Theories! ... THIS... CHANGES... EVERYTHING.

Now I'm confused, but I think Jay was defeated. ):

I don't think so, Jay's apparently been on the lam so maybe tall dark and faceless hasn't found him...yet. I don't see this as a defeat, much less a significant one, more of a GTFO to an unexpected setback as The Operator has no reason to assume someone like Jay can/will fight back. So maybe the reason there has been no activity is The Operator is assuming the memory erasure would take Jay out of the game forever.

Considering that Jessica is MIA (and due to OOG reasons unlikely to appear as a major character in future entries.) I'd say the mindwipe may have been a way of getting something inconvient out of the way. I think Jessica was meant to be seen as another of The Operator's chosen humans (and more important to TO then Jay could be). Perhaps her disappearance is foreshadowing Alex's eventual fate.

Because he's troll. Entry 53# will be similar to 27, Jay will have no idea on what's going on. Then, there will be a totheark response, called: "U Mad?" okay i stopped

i definitely think jessica will make some sort of return. i would be extremely sad if she was dead... but i like whoever said that maybe positive emotions somehow weaken the operator. i mean jay somehow got up the courage to charge at him. and jay didn't get killed...

Because the operator is not part of our dimension I doubt Jay even wounded it.

entry 27 was posted on 11/23/10, meaning jay didn't remember anything since around the end of april 2010.

if we assume the last time jay encountered the operator was the night of entry 27 (we have no reason to believe otherwise), that means that the operator or alex hasn't gone after jay in roughly a year (since he hasn't mentioned anything)

tim is living normally now too. it's entirely possible that jay solved everything, but i don't even know how they'd make a story out of it next season if he had.

a year is an awfully long time for the operator to not bother jay, considering entry 23 was posted on 01/28/10, and entry 40 was supposed to be roughly a week into may 2010 (which is the last time in season 1 and the first time in season 2 we see slendy come after jay. although he does burn jays house down apparently in entry 25 (03/24/10), so the most we've ever seen jay go without slendy bothering him is roughly 1.5 months, and thats assuming slendy wasn't nearby in entry 35

so yeah, overall i think they didn't plan for it to take this long to finish up season 2, and that the timing isn't supposed to be taken into consideration in game ,but who knows.

So... We get an entry where we see Jay get thrown around, thrashed, and teleported by telepathic powers, and somehow people think that Jay defeated TO? You guys really just speculate too much sometimes.

we know jay constantly films himself present day. he hasn't mentioned the operator bothering him in over a year. it's not some wild speculation, it's a plausible theory.
