Feeling depressed tonight and thinking about Marble Hornets being over has increased it.

Not gonna lie, I would've loved to see a happy-ish ending. Like, everything could stay the same up until Jay dying. Perhaps instead Alex takes him captive, trying to make him see his point of view that Tim needs to be stopped. Tim confronts Alex, they both die, Jay picks up the camera. Last Entry is Jay driving around, speculating on what he does with his life now that he's the last one alive. As he drives through town, he sees Jessica walking into her apartment. He decides to leave well enough alone and leave town, searching for a new beginning.

Never too late for fantasy booking, right?

I've been kind of thinking, and I think I have a better twist than the "hey, Jessica's not dead after all!" stunt they pulled: if it had been Amy that Tim met up with, and through their conversation it was revealed (or strongly implied) that the two of them had been in contact and working against Alex the whole time, and were now parting ways so they can both move on with their lives. Not "Amy is TTA", but rather, Amy wants revenge on Alex for trying to kill her. And maybe someone could show some on-screen sadness over the fact that Jay's dead.

Alex confirms he killed Amy in 86.

I mean, Alex saw the operator take Jay, himself, and a few others who returned. He should have known Jessica was still alive.

It's the biggest plot hole in the series that is just going to be ignored

I love that the concensus is that mostly everyone was unsatisfied with the ending and they ignored that fact on the posdcast. I don't blame them for it, but it would be kind of neat to hear their reaction to the feedback

I don't think that's 100% true. Last time I checked the poll topic I made, it was 1/4 unsatisfied, 1/2 mixed, & 1/4 favorable. Also, Joseph alluded to the dissatisfaction with the ending a bit. Part of me wants to say that they could have done more to address the criticism, but I don't know what. And there will be more opportunities for them to address things.

Well you have to admit most people aren't going to look at it as critically as we are, nor did most people intensely follow it since it first began.

I'd argue (and assume as I don't have statistical evidence) the average and casual viewer of Marble Hornets thought the ending was okay and just left it at that. Accepting everything they heard/saw and not questioning a lot.

The people who followed Marble Hornets more closely are going to be more dissatisfied as we had more stake in things and look at things a little more closely.

The people who thought that the ending was satisfying more than likely liked the older stuff better, as the ending followed more that style. Completely ambiguous and no explanation what so ever. And they are okay with not knowing anything and just enjoyed the moments that it had. Kind of like the Michael Bay effect. It makes absolutely no goddamn sense but hey it looks cool.

So overall, it really just depends on what you prefer, how deep you wanna look into it, and how much stake did you have in the series. Majority wins at the end of the day, so trosephim will probably only recognise that the ending was viewed as average and leave it at that. As much as I'd like there to be more outrage in the community, in simply isn't there.
