Marble Hornets Entry #76

So is Jay pissed about something Tim did as Masky?  Is there no Masky persona?  Is that it?  Tim's "blackouts" never happened?

Where have you been? Just a few episodes ago we were at Alex's house and Jay got really slendied up. There's been a lot of build up to finding Alex, a lot of drama between Jay and Tim, character development, plot building... I suppose what I'm getting at is- it can't be all mindless slendy-ing, this stuff is equally as important or exciting, to me at least.

So, the suspect list for Hoodie has been narrowed minus one Jessica. I know she was a fan favorite just after Brian, but now I believe it's leaning more towards the latter. It's most certainly a male, given the figure of the body, the male clothes, and the fact that it is no longer possible for it to be Jessica.

If The Operator wanted to "get alex", he would have done so long ago. Alex is more like a proxy, or at least our original idea for one, where he does the Operator's work for him. I don't think anybody has been "close" to Alex, at least not since he started getting slendersick.

Masky and Tim are separate entities inHABITing the same body. Tim blacks out, things happen, etc. We don't know if Masky was there to remove Jessica from Slendy, given as that was the last we saw of her, or what. Tim, Masky, Hoody, all their intentions are not clear yet. Jay clearly wants the more passive peaceful solution. Alex wants the obvious - death to all his past "friends". Alex is on the side of the Operator, and nobody else. Tim, I think, is on Jay's side still.

I was somewhat expecting revelations about Jay, given how often MH has flirted with his unreliable account of events without providing any great twists in his tail, but this is also good. Presumably this information was hidden from Jay because his drive to find Jessica made him a useful tool in getting to Alex, but that's just me speculating y'all

I'm still in the Hoodie=Amy camp, partly because it annoys me that her part in the story has otherwise been nothing more than a macguffin; I suppose we've got two more videos left to determine if I'm right or wrong (assuming Troy doesn't wang in an Entry #79 or #80 just to throw a curveball)

Also unless I'm not mistaken Jessica is the only person we've seen get all the way to the other side of the tunnel, making her our new high scorer (albeit posthumously)

When I said 'Most exciting'  I was mostly talking about the pacing of season 3 compared to 1 and 2; There have been a lot of filler entries or ones where very little was learned. 

Compared to seasons 1 and 2, I'd say 3 has been better paced and more revealing. Do you recall the amount of "back to the house/woods" that went on at least in the first season? - Ones that not only didn't lead to anything new- but were also regretted by Troy and Joseph. Or random chase scenes that didn't build on plot necessarily?

If his/her [hoody's] build looks male, its likely because they usually just have tim/jay/alex availible for acting.

I wouldn't throw Marble Hornets under the bus, or call them lazy. If Troy or Joseph didn't have the actors needed, they more than likely wouldn't film that scene.

Where Alex was last seen there was a picture of Amy that said 'I have him'. Since hoodie seemed to always be in opposition of Alex, she seems most likely to be the one to have taken him. Im still wonder what Alex lying to her in the past, or lying about finding her factors into this though.

I'm not saying it's definitely Brian, and that it's definitely not Amy, but first of all, Amy and Alex trying to kill each other seems a bit out of place, and secondly, given my previous comment about intentional filming, I don't think they would film a male, with masculine shoulders, mens pants, and mens shoes, and try to pass it off as Amy, it's just not a good decision from a filming aspect. At least throw some femanine pants on them or something.

I guess I'm uncertain as to what you would have wanted from this season, other than the fact that Jay was an unreliable narrator this entire time, psychotic masky breaks from Tim, Tim as a main "protagonist", revealing moments about Alex, "conclusions" as to what happened to Jessica, psychiatric history, more tapes, and really creepy operator moments involving underground narrow corridors, day to night shifts in fields and alex's house, and of course the numerous times at the tunnel in rosswood.

whether it be Brian, or Amy, or some other person. All that we now know for certain is that it is not Tim or Jay or Alex or Jessica.

All along I've been saying that Jessica is an irrelevance to the plot. I told people she was dead, and nobody took me seriously. Well, I win now, bitches.

Also, anyone notice the Slendy was hanging around at the very end? When Tim's wandering around at the very end you can see him through his legs, right in the forest background.

I can see that Hoody and Tim tried to help Jessica, but aside from Alex and his gun, TO is to blame for interfering. He has so much power. Poor Jessica.

I think with two 15 minute episodes the series could well conclude. That's a horrific thought.

I really enjoyed this one! There were plenty of answers here, a few of which surprised me. But we know now what's happened to Jessica for sure.

I'm glad to know what happened to Jessica, I kinda assumed she might've been killed by Masky or some such, but this is much better. I think Tim didn't want Jay to see purely because he wouldn't be motivated to continue searching for answers any more, I don't think Tim has been working with the Operator. Now Jay may be motivated by revenge, but possibly against the wrong target. Hoody is a badass in this entry, and IMO this entry confirms he's a male. I'm also glad to see what's at the end of the tunnel, but a bit surprised to see that it's just more forest, I thought there would've been something more there.

This was a really great entry, and hopefully it sets a trend for the following entries-answers instead of more questions. Although it still was a bit vague, why were hoody and masky taking Jessica into the forest, did I miss something? To rescue her from Alex or TO is what I thought, but I'm not sure.
At the end, Jay's black text says something like 'Tim was lying to me the whole time' which suggests he's pretty angry, and this might be the end of their teamwork, which is a shame from Tim's perspective, he just wants to end all the nonsense.

Also - Surely there must be more than 2 entries left, that's nowhere near enough to wrap the series up! I think it will probably take 5 longish entries to finish up the series properly, and 5 entries full of non-stop revelations and answers at that..

I'm sure there will be more than 2. But we're definitely getting toward the end. I'm thinking Jay'll go psycho and murder everyone, before getting SlendyNapped.

That's what I had in mind too. Unlikely though, but would be awesome. I have a theory that Tim is totally aware during his Maskiness and that he does whatever he does on purpose. I know some of you will ask 'But why did Hoody steal his pills?'. Maybe they just wanted to stage the fact that Tim needs pills to be himself. As with Hoody, I think it's Brian. He and Tim were good friends, so that makes him a candidate for being Hoody, since Hoody and Masky work together. I can't wait to see who Hoody is. As well as what happened to Seth, Brian and Sarah. I'm hoping the new entry comes out soon. It's kind of sad seeing how it ends in a couple of entries. Imma cry
