So, we ever get an explanation for the HD switch?


Yes. It's because of Brian. The Operator causes distortion, Brian's new hairstyle causes HD.

Or maybe a wizard did it.

YES. Alex Kralie's Marble Hornets would've been an awful film. Laughing


I lol'd when it cut to a shot of Brian just standing there facing the wall, not moving. And then he touches it twice. Genius.

I got Blair Witch vibes from that shot. Horror, ok. Coming of age drama, so pretentious.

Anybody else get the feeling Alex knew exactly where The Operator would approach from? The way Brian turns to check his back, I'll bet Alex kept glancing thataway and it made Brian nervous. It's a fair bet that Alex knew where he'd be teleported, if that actually happened.


If you think about it, we'd really have so much more information and stuff to go on if we could see this from the 3rd person. Which i think is the real draw of the 1st person. We're seeing everything from the perspective of one person's hand, we have no idea what we're missing, and we can be led to believe just about anything that person wants us to believe.

My favorite part is getting a new desktop background.

Was about to post this last night, but lost my connection.
Also, 23 pages, damm?
I have a theory:
Alex was the one who first noticed Slendy while taping MH, though we know this connection goes way back. But the fact that Slendy stalked Alex during MH seems to confirm the theory SM will stalk you if you think about him / know he exists.
So, Alex finds a way to stop being chased by him: Offering people instead of him.
Bruce wasn´t the first.
We saw Seth going missing when being out with Alex. Tim was pretty bad looking in here. Brian was next.
Alex has been taking people to the Operator in exchange for his life.
What intrigues me the most is the "they are all gone" bit at the end...
What happened to the others? What does this say about J?
-
This was such an amazing Entry.

Now can we please put the "Brian is TTA" theory to rest?

Technically, this video gives possible evidence to Brian being (or being part of) TTA.

If you follow the theory that Tim became Masky because of Alex's "feeding" of him to the Operator, it would be a logical parallel to theorize that something similar happened to Brian. This is strengthened by the fact that that Masks appear to be working with (or are collectively) TTA.

Why isn't the normal distortions seen from the earlier entries in the the newer ones? Namely the tearing at the bottom of the screen and the muffled sound.

I hate inconsistencies. That shit was really scary too, great builup tool.

Wow. Stunning entry. I'm not happy to have all of the "Brian is X" theories popping up again, but I'm baking some humble pie just in case that everything gets flipped, turned up side down and he turns out to be significant again (and not just killed here).

Best part of this? I swear I can see the Operator "breathing" or panting or something when he first appears in the hallway behind Brian. It's like he's doing that predator deep breathing thing. Also, anyone notice that this Operator seems to be more proportional than the last few sightings (that is, his arms are roughly proportioned to the rest of his body rather than being OMFGtoolong)?

Anyone got a screencap of the Oppy coming out of the back of Brians head near the beginning of the entry? And speaking of screenshots, is there anything in the "black line" distortion that happens a few times early in the entry? I can almost see some kind of image in it, but curious if anyone else is catching it.

I nearly choked when Alex said that. Reference.

Depressed teenager stuck in a loop of unhappiness? WE GOT THAT B ROLL!
Driving down lonesome rural highway? WE GOT THAT B ROLL!
Quiet nature trail hiking through a pretty forest? WE GOT THAT B ROLL!
Guy who hasn't been seen in 30+ entries standing in the exterior hallway of an abandon hospital while a spooky humanoid creature stalks him and om nom nom noms?!
THAT IS NOT B ROLL, ALEX!

Minor gripe here, but is anyone else annoyed by how dumb Slenderman looks? Slenderman ain't so slender anymore. Jnco's are out, dude.

But seriously, I'm sure they don't just throw the costumer together and think "Meh, good enough," but I think he looked way better in Season 1, especially in Entry 12. He looked creepy as hell in that entry. Just put some binder clips on the back of the pants.

Great entry! Just a few thoughts, didn't check 70% of the thread yet:


  • "HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE?" I think this entry is more than enough proof that TTA were right when they said "it is not enough". Alex was allied with/controlled by the Operator as early as the MH shoot and even went as far as "sacrificing" (whatever that actually entails) his friends to it.
  • Like most people, I'm buying in on the "Tim and Brain became TTA/Maskies to exact revenge on Alex and to help/warn Jay" theories. This makes me see a bunch of entries in a whole new light:
  • #1, #6, #11, #14 might be consecutive footage from the very same night, which is when the Operator finally enters Alex's home. Somehow, I believe that this night may be the event that makes Alex into TO's ally. Maybe he realizes that the only way to stay safe is help it and betray his friends or maybe he's mind-controlled or whatever...
  • #17 feels like TO stalking his prey to me now. Alex is the only one who isn't influenced by its appearance, so this is probably after Alex turns "bad".
  • I think this was already mentioned, but #20 seems like it takes place after #51 when Tim returns with no recollection of the previous events but obvious signs of slender sickness. Since Alex dragged Brian away to wherever, they didn't meet each other when Tim woke up.
  • #22 is odd for numerous reasons: First of all, why didn't Alex include this tape in the batch he gave to Jay? Unlike #51, it doesn't show anything incriminating, quite the opposite. If #22 was staged by Alex to make him look like a victim, then he would have made sure to include it. If it wasn't staged, there would be no reason to exclude it. My best guess is that it was stolen, maybe even by TTA. Then again, #51 would have been a much better tape to steal and hide for Jay to find. Second, is Alex playing the fool in this entry and intentionally sending Seth to his doom or is he actually unaware of what is going on? In the second case, he must have lost his memory between #51 and #22 (I'm assuming #22 takes place after #51 because otherwise it would make no sense for the rest of the cast to be "gone") and now tries to find out what is going on. Again, why would he keep the tape if that is true? If I wanted to burn all the tapes, this would be the first one I'd want to burn.
  • Maybe TO returns in #26 because Alex's job isn't finished yet, as evidenced by the fact that at least Jay and Tim are still alive.
  • Maybe TTA/Masky&Hoody/Tim&Brian know this. They try to stop Alex by killing him (#35, #45), but as seen (or rather, not seen) in #45, Slendy doesn't like that idea...
  • Bruce was just an innocent bystander. What Alex really wants to do is to lure Jay and Jessica to the tunnel and give them the same treatment as in #51. Either the plan goes wrong and they get their memories wiped to cover up... or maybe the plan succeeds. Maybe Slendy doesn't want to kill people but rather use them for other things. Possibly these "other things" are what happened to Tim and Brian in the hospital.


Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the video being HD is an OOG thing.

Hm, 23 pages. Anyway, something I'm noticing that I've no idea if has been mentioned: the font J uses in this entry seems slightly different than his usual font. Maybe it's a bold version of his typical font.

So where'd alex go? Was the camera shut off or was it on during that backout? There's audio so i presume it was on. Brian was not in the same place as he was when the camera went black, so were he and Alex teleported but the camera followed brian instead?

That whole section has my attention.

I hate coming into an entry thread so late, everything I notice has already been said. So I'll just provide a screenshot of this:
