Am I the only marble hornets fan that is kinda glad Tim isn’t in the rosswood series from a narrative perspective?
I keep seeing posts like this “i understand real life Tim didn’t wanna participate but im gonna miss him” and like.
Okay ignoring that fact real life Tim didn’t want to be involved (which is completely understandable and valid) I kinda feel like the ending of marble hornets is so impactful, for me at least, because it showed Tim managing to escape the cycle of torment caused by The Operator. Something he’s been trapped in since childhood. He believed he was the cause of it yet he was the only one of the four guys to escape it. Sure, he still had that coughing fit when talking to Jessica which is definitely ominous but that final shot of the road ahead is SO impactful. And I love that we don’t know where Tim goes afterwards. There’s no dialogue, no commentary. Once the camera is off, it doesn’t turn back on. It shows that he’s truly free now. His future post Marble Hornets is open ended because it’s not for us to see. That camera, Jay’s camera, a symbol of all he’s witnessed, something he tried so hard to avoid, is finally able to look away. To look ahead. To look at the future in front. And so was tim.
So like. Yeah I’m happy with how Tim’s story ended.
