Something I noticed is that Hoody's left leg is in a different position on the road at the end (~6:35) compared to in the building (~5:35), but everything else seems to be the same. Maybe Tim kicked Hoody's leg at 6:08 when he started running?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That implies you actually believe they have teleportation powers OOG. Use sense, it's obvious that they had him lay back on the floor and tried his best to recreate the position. This is the exact kind of post I was talking about before.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hi, firstly, I'd appreciate it if you spoiler-tagged OOG discussions to help maintain the immersion.

Secondly, you seem to be implying that this should be seen merely as a production error. I disagree. This isn't his finger, or the creases on his hoodie, it's his entire left leg. It's not even close. In the building the leg was straight. On the road, it's bent.

Finally, there's no harm in making observations and posting them. That's simply what I did. I also suggested a possible reason behind it.

Personally, I don't think we'll find out very much about the Operator. For one thing, thanks to the movie, we know that the Operator is not something unique to Jay and friends (although I am expecting at least one off hand reference by someone to Timmy W. who used to be a patient, or some other reference like that). Also, seeing as how Slender Man could be called a cosmic horror story, a huge part of the Operator is that it is the unknown itself.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It has been mentioned here that the movie is not canonical to this series.

Doesn't the pile of papers look more like something Alex would do than Hoody? Sure, Hoody left a note on the mirror in an earlier entry, but Alex is the one that we've seen scribbling on papers like a madman, often the same thing over and over again. Here, we've got four different notes (confirmed so far, correct me if someone's seen others) in the pile: the operator symbol in various sizes and numbers, "YOUR FAULT," one "GIVE UP," and one "THE ARK."

We've seen Alex draw the operator symbol, and "YOUR FAULT" sounds like something he would say to Jay, and has said before. Same for "GIVE UP." The only odd one out is the one that references the ark, which is TTA's obsession more than anybody's (it's even in the name!).

If the operator wanted Jay dead, why not just teleport him to the ledge of a really tall building sort of like he did with Hoody? Why not drown him? Why not do a million other things that could have killed him?

If him and alex are so buddy buddy, why wouldn't alex just have the operator kill Jay (or hoody for that matter?)

I think these are things that they aren't going to answer and it's going to leave a bad taste in my mouth

I still think Hoody didn't kill himself, that moving his hand was just a reaction to seeing tim swinging a pipe at him.

Following this entry...I am actually for once considering the possibility that Hoody /may/ be a female. The was some protrusion on the chest, and the whimpering definitely sounded female.
On a related note, Hoody did seem to be whimpering, and thusly alive after the fall. Besides the fact that it hasn't been established with 100% certainty that anyone except Beardy is dead, it's ridiculous to jump to conclusion that anyone is dead without empirical proof of such. Don't write anyone off just yet.

Also, I'm gonna go ahead and say it, user MarbleHornets /has/ been a lot less volatile lately. It really shows. Now if everyone will stop calling out every word he says as inflammatory, it may actually begin to be bearable to read an entire discussion again.

I don't know about the female thing... Remember in that one entry where hoody was coughing? There was no way a female could make that noise. I also can't see a female overpowering alex like in the recent jessica entry

And remember, from the creators mouths: we can't go based on physical build of hoody for their identity.

I really dont think they would write off Hoody in such a lame/anticlimactic way. If anything (stupid analogy inc.) he seems like the type of character who will die in the heat of battle shooting two machine guns and a cigar in his mouth, rather than being teleported to a ledge (inside a building) and falling to his death.

I have a feeling that we wont see the last of Hoody. When/if we do end up seeing hoody again, maybe it will be right as Hoody has theyre goal(s) in the palms of his hands right before *insert name* rips it out of hoodies cold dead hands.

Maybe Hoody wants Tim to think they're out of the picture to orchestrate a "plan B" of sorts? I don't know about this one, but following this entry I have a feeling were going to be seeing Alex very, very soon.

One more thing, when was the last entry where we saw something with the "fire" themes? I can only think of 2 back in S1 off the top of my head (the portrait in alexs house, and when Jay and Alex are walking through the woods and Alex talks about the history of the woods) but i'm curious as to what it could hint towards for the oncoming entries, if it does at all.

NOW YOU ARE THINKING WITH PORTALS.

Clearly, we can finally say with confidence that the true villain of this series is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
coughing


More seriously, I don't have much to add to this, since I think the entry pretty much speaks for itself. There's basically nothing to complain about. And they continue to have the best distortion effects in town. I once had to create a VHS effect for a project. Pain. In. The ass. You guys make it look easy

Not sure why people are saying, essentially, that Hoody is too weak to be a girl. We're all aware that there's an overlap, right? It's not like every individual man is stronger than every individual woman. We don't need to debate figures & studies to accept that basic fact, right? Right?

I don't think he's a girl either, but that line of reasoning makes no sense.

He didn't climb out of the window

he was teleported to it by the operator. remember tim hanging from a tree in entry 65?

No, not always the case, but according to IMDB Joseph is 6'2" and judging by the camera height Amy and Sarah were holding it at compared to him, I'd say it's impossible unless they had a ton of muscle.

Sorry for the big lot of pictures but look, it took me a few watches but right after he punches Tim he turns around and starts climbing.

Which confuses me. I don't think he would just suddenly get suicidal, I think he either:

1. just wanted to injure himself or knock himself out

or

2. didn't mean to fall. He either slipped or was forced to jump when Tim came at him. But that's stupid, why would he take the window when there was a perfectly good set of stairs?

Wow this entry was action-packed. Also featuring teleportation, time shifting and POV-changing to the point of surreal. Awesome.

EDIT:

The place Tim had fight with Hoody and where Hoody fell from was in #79:

Such a cool Entry. Also, I for one think user Marble Hornets has been far more reasonable and civil the last few Entries, so I vote to not instigate and I'm sure we can keep it civil. He makes many keen observations.

So, some things I noticed or wanted to comment on:

- I agree it is intended to be the streetlight from Entry 2. In the very least, a homage to tying in/tying up little S1 things, ala the static hole.

- The feels when Tim calls out to Jay in a desperately hopeful way when he notices a figure down the hall.

- Looks like Hoody wanted Tim to become Masky and help him. The taunt of the pills, the dropping of the mask to the floor in front of him. TO seems to have not approved so ruins their little reunion... But what if he hadn't? Clearly Hoody wasn't expecting or hoping for TO to show up because he booked it as soon as he appeared. If TO had not made his surprise appearance, I get the feeling that Tim would've been shown the tape, and Hoody thought it would be enough to convince him to be Masky and team back up. I would wager that it will show the origin of Hoody and Masky or TTA in general - inherently a reveal, but sort of in reverse. As opposed to being unmasked, we see them first don the mask. Regardless, I'm definitely hoping it is that one last '06 tape that shows us what started all this, the one we've been waiting for.

-Scene in hospital with those doors - holy shit, been wanting to see more of those since 65. Awesome.

- Scene in Tim's house with Jay and the papers and mirror. What the fuck is going on here? Must be in the Oppy verse I'd say. Also, Jay looked exactly as he did when taken by TO, as though not a moment had passed - just like Bruce. Clearly in TO land.

- Scene with fire overlay that clearly shows the room warping back to before it was burned and/or while it was burning... does that confirm backwards time travel? Or some form of timet-wimey nonsense, of the backwards variety specifically.

- I don't think Hoody is dead, but he's definitely as fucked as Jay and Jessica, so that doesn't say much for him. It seemed they got taken to the same parking lot-ish dark place where Tim saw Bruce in 65. It seems if you end up there incapacitated, you arent able to escape. Definitely a lame way for Hoody to go, all for MOAR TAPES and Tim's version of Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff in pill form (Space Jam anyone, eh?)

- If this kind of wild teleporting happens to Hoody regularly, its no wonder he is both insane and makes incomprehensible videos when attempting to communicate as/with TTA. Speaking of TTA imagine if Hoody wasn't alone - if a TTA vid gets put out after this it will be a major mind fuck.

- Shot from the chest cam of Tim at bottom of attic steps WEARING THE CHEST CAM. Someone is coming down the attic... What the actual fuck is that? I have to say, Tim filming himself throws some evidence toward TTA and Hoody being alternate reality/furture Jay, as it gives us a precedent for the same character existing in two places at the same time.

- This whole Entry felt more like TTA and less like raw footage, i.e. words popping up, and other bizzarre images... and what is the deal with someone else filming Hoody and Tim from a strange angle AND the footage showing up on the footage Tim had? Frankly, I want someone to ask Tim if he posted it on Twitter and if he remembers any of it or what...

I don't think this is to do with future or alternate reality, I don't think those images were even actually captured by the camera in a conventional way.

My theory is that Oppy's influence causes images that would not otherwise be visible to the camera be imprinted onto it's vision. That way, distortion, things from the past (the burning hospital), and things from present but from different viewpoint (the Tim cellar, the fight) are overlaid on whatever the camera currently records.

Perhaps they are OP's or Tim's mental images (rather than an actual optical footage) written into the camera via OP's or OP-induced powers.
