Lithp: "I don't believe the ending was satisfactory, due primarily to 2 factors. The first being: too few questions were answered. The second being: characters were underdeveloped."

420Goku: "No u."

Well, you can't argue with the facts, Lithp.

I believe the ending was satisfactory, due primarily to 2 factors. The first being: few questions were answered. The second being: characters were developed just enough.

don't argue with goku420, he's only 11 years old (said it in a post once)

willing to bet the new stuff coming to the MH channel is just the s1 commentaries. seems they're already done and they're selling new s1 dvds, why we gotta wait!

The lesson I hope they learn is that if it's supposed to be about the characters and not the answers, they better develop the characters a lot more.

I want them to learn to read criticism. It was apparent that people expected there to be answers at the end, it was apparent that they wanted loose threads to be addressed and their great mystery of Brian=Hoody wasn't fooling anybody. A series released in the fashion MH was has the advantage of getting feedback all the way through its production but they scarcely took advantage of that.

Come to think of it, has there ever been a long running series with paranormal elements that actually managed to wrap up most of it's plot threads? Marble Hornets, LOST, The X-Files...all had many interesting mysteries and a legion of fans scrutinizing the littlest details trying to find answers, and it all amounted to jack shit in the end.

Some people are willing the cut the creators some slack because Marble Hornets was their first production, but I can't say I'm inclined to do the same. Amateurs or not, they worked on this series for five years. Five. Years. I know they weren't devoting their every waking moment to the series' production, but they couldn't have spent some time brainstorming some answers, or planning out the course of a season? It reminds me of criticisms I've heard about The X-files: That even if they were making it up as they went along, 9 seasons and 2 movies was more than enough time to wrap up all the loose ends, but they didn't.

My logic is basically:

Marble Hornets goes nowhere: Strike 1.

They had 5 years to pull some plot out of their asses: Strike 2.

...Proceed with caution.

Anyway, I don't know, it depends on how you define "long running" & "paranormal elements."

Hey guys, I just noticed something when watching this entry. Not sure if other people saw it, but Tim didn't seem to be limping in this entry despite getting shot in the leg in Entry 86. I'm going to take this as evidence for the "this is an older tape" theory.
