So, this means people can now shut the fuck up with that future-jay bullshit, right? Please tell me that it doesn't have to still be beaten into some people when the narrative makes it abundantly fucking clear who Hoody is?

I like this entry. I think it was emotional and was great in terms of character development.

I don't know why some people are surprised by lack of solid proof: Marble Hornets is a series based on mysteries, supernatural (possibly) and deception where almost nothing is confirmed. Any entry may be doctored, any character may be lying, any event may be connected to supernatural force.

There are things that we all agree upon (Tim is Masky, Jay lost his house, Alex is a murderer...) because these things have been mentioned more than once, but most things are still up to speculation. This is a reason why there are so many game-changing and meta theories present within fanbase - we have lack of solid facts to work with.

This situation may be good or bad, depending on how you view it, but I don't know why you'd call this entry garbage without calling whole series as garbage. You just have to accept that there is a very high chance that 80% of questions wouldn't be answered by the end of the series.

Mhmm, this is definetly a „dunno" entry.

Great was the way Brian entered the room, after the long wait, resembling the long built-up for this, and then he just goes in while Tim stays outside. Loved it.
Also loved the fact that Tim, as a shy and unsecure person pre-MH, was shown. That gives room for a „becoming the mask" trope.

For the rest, I dunno.
All those inside jokes made me feel as if this indeed was a April's fool entry.
Really, ...Brian complimenting on those cheesy lines, Tim without his signature sideburns, Tim jumping to conclusions because Brian, 8 years ago, wore a hoody similar to Hoody's hoody. Don't want to say that Brian is not Hoody, but seriously. We (and the characters?) have been guessing on his identity on little things for years. And now this fact, that Brian, on his audition day 8 years ago, wore a similar hoody is the confirmation for Tim. Really? If anyone here on the forum had proposed such a theory he would have been shut down for good*. But Tim says it and and everyone is like "Uuuuuhhh yeeeah, that's reason man!"

Also, why had Hoody that footage? What did it matter to him? I mean, he had it with him the hole time, so there must be something important to him on that tape. To remind him of his good ol' identity? To remind him that Tim needs protection and Alex is unappreciative? Is this tape the nut shell of Hoody's persona and TTA context? Look out for awkward people and lead them to Alex, film random lights as if they were eyes and add in some random environment (or street) shots and some distortion?
I don't know what to make of this.
First TO encounter? So randomly in the middle of a street?** Dunno.
Alex already being a bit self-conscious, although we were lead to believe that was a nice and funny person prior to being stalked by TO. Dunno.
No hint for Hoody himself to remind him of what is going on in case he forgets because of TO? Dunno.
The chestcam breaking so anti-climatic? Dunno.
Well, is did seem damaged at the end of #83, but there could have been some more footage to "break" the camera, instead of it just lying around in Tim's car, filming without reason. Although this hints towards the fact that Tim also started to obsessively film himself at every step. I did not assume as much even after #81. (He seem just to capture his "adventures" into the college.)

Speaking of which, we probably never get any IG reason as to why everyone was at Benedict Hall, or tried to get there. They seem to be done with it, and the only reason it was introduced seemed to be the fact that they were running out of creepy places for Jay to get shot and Hoody to fall from.

So, in respect to how hard I was anticipating the footage from Hoodys tape, I know only got a soft confirm on Hoody=Brian (which could easily be a red herring). Nothing else. Now I have to anticipate #85 and wait for Alex to show up, to make the first present day explanation of his motives since 2011. Which he probably won't. I feel let down. Can someone convince me of this entry, aside from the fan services?

*Except maybe if s/he included that the hoody Brian wore traveled through time.

** We need to figure that 305 out. I doubt they put it there accidentally. I already checked #73 and 75, but was not able to confirm any mail box at Tim's house.

/edit: I could also not confirm any mailbox on Amy's house from #43. Also, I feels as if the building that can vaguely been seen that left side of the street in #84 is only a one story house, whereas the one seen in a similar position in #43 seems to be a two story house. But I'm very unsure of that.

People bitch when Hoody isn't revealed in an entry. Now, people are bitching when Hoody is revealed in an entry. Jeez.

I think this video was good. I enjoyed the "laid back and cool" nature of Brian and the "socially awkward, one or two friends" nature of Tim, without sideburns.

The Hoody reveal was different. I'm glad they didn't go the route of "OMG TAKE OFF HIS MASK" to actually reveal him instead of that big light flash (ala 83).

Cheesy humor, return of Brian, Hoody reveal, early Tim, sane Alex, and first TO encounter = great entry.

I also like that it seems as though they are insinuating that Tim basically became his MH character (smokes, facial hair, cool, aloof) outside of the student film.

The important thing here is that Hoody is definitely Brian, this was a well done and important entry in terms of character development (which, even if it's not the reason you specifically watch this show, is important to the type of story this is), and this is a well written series. Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong.
