 		The final entry will have Tim and Alex finally giving the Slender Man his $20 that he has long awaited.

 		After seeing the way Alex acted in the previous entry, I think there is no way to avoid his death when writing this plot

 		As this drags on, I'm starting to feel like the last entry will be either a TTA entry, or a TTA-esque entry on the MH channel. If Tim and Alex take each other out (or probably if Alex takes Tim out) then we won't get an "entry ##" style entry, because Tim won't be alive to upload it.

Maybe during their confrontation, the camera falls, but conveniently falls so that we can watch the final battle (or maybe we just hear the gunshots.) Then, after some time, someone walks up and takes the camera. This someone could be Hoody/Brian, Seth (as TTA), Sarah, Jessica, Amy, or a not dead Jay. If I had to guess, I'd guess it's one of the first two. They upload an entry saying that Alex and Tim have killed each other and were both taken by TO. Then maybe some more explanation is given and its made clear that this will be the final entry.

the final battle would look terrible in one static shot, distortion or no

Only one of those will return (and it's most likely to be Jessica, because she's the only one of those who was never actually confirmed as mortally wounded or taken to Oppytown).

After Marble Hornets itself and maybe the little film school project(?) "Tim Meets a Priest" (I think it's called), this is my favorite thing that the trio's done (the whole short, of course).

While I don't think that we will just be looking on their feet or something like that I do think the idea of the camera being dropped or placed some where is very likely. Think about Trosephim stated in interview that one of problems with the found footage format is the limited perspective and that you always have to think of reasons why a camera would be somewhere and if that would make since.Now I think it is obvious that there was a reason behind them taking the chest mounted camera out, so that means we must think of what you can do with a hand held camera as posed to a chest mount. You can't drop a chest mounted camera and you can't really set it up quickly either because the go pro is screwed into the chest strap
so it would be hard for some one to take it off and put it somewhere and it is very difficult to have it accidentally fall off.Now that doesn't necessarily mean the whole fight will be in one static shot ... it just mean part of it might. Also if no one who is in the fight is holding the camera then you can get a better view of the action.

That's not exactly a bad idea for one of the final entries--assuming there's some non-cheapo explanation for how it gets posted (and possibly edited).

To be fair, MH isn't entirely found footage. It's more a journal and detective story that incorporates a lot of found footage. Though, yeah, that's nitpickily pedantic of me. And how Tim and Alex could have a throw-down when someone has to hold the camera (I doubt TO would be cinematographer even if you asked him nicely) is something I'm wondering how they'll negotiate.

I also wonder whether it will really be a throw-down. Maybe a duel? Maybe Alex's gun jams? The possibilities are... limited.

see this is the thing that puzzles me. If we have a big fight coming up why has the chest-mounted camera been written out? It would be the best way to capture a fight and wouldn't require that both hands be used. And as for the chest mounted camera not being dropped did you not watch Entry #49?

I'm all down with a seemingly anticlimactic non-fight, if and only if

1. It's startling or jarring to watch and is unexpected and only seems like an anticlimax when we come on here to praise or rip it and MarbleHornets prepares more Eddie Murphy GIFs,

2. The fighting isn't substituted with talking (because while MH has had some very fine dialogue, this isn't the kind of thing one can really talk around), and

3. There's an element of danger that follows, if only for a brief time (e.g., there's an ambush or some sort of paranormal activity overload). There's nothing wrong with an ending or even a climax that at first doesn't feel like a climax.

 		Let's quickly go over what we know about the next entry (assuming that it's the climax/final entry) from in game context and out of game context.

IN GAME

-Tim is looking for Alex

-Tim will be forced to use Troy's camera (as I pointed out before)

-Alex watches MH so he knows that Tim did not get burned in the fire

-The location will be somewhere that Alex knows that Tim is familiar with (so it's probably somewhere we know of)

OUT OF GAME

-there were multiple filming days in which they got everything they wanted within that day

-it is a very involved shoot

-Joseph almost said lines from this entry when imaging a Pro wrestling championship

-Joseph was present at the shoot from a couple of days ago

SPECULATION TIME

Okay I figure that they must have been filming in multiple locations which would explain the whole multiple days of them getting everything they needed as well as the comment that it is a very involved shoot.
The fight will definitely be next entry because the fact that Joseph almost the lines of the entry in the context of a pre-roll for a wrestling tournament.

So I think the next entry will go a little like this, Tim doesn't have any idea what Alex meant when he said the he knew where he would be ... so he starts looking in various places such as the hospital , the school , and finally the tunnel (I guess) where he meets Alex and then the confrontation happens. I have no idea as to how this will go down exactly Alex will definitely start off by spewing out more bullshit ... and maybe he might fall under Bond villian syndrome where Tim will just get him while he still has his angry monologue ... perhaps Tim will tackle him knocking him through the exit of the Tunnel and then ... they end up in the place where there is no light/the ARK ... and that's where the real fight will happen ... at one point the camera will be dropped ... and that's just about all I got.
