A video talking about the criminally underrated horror series, Marble Hornets.
Part 1 of 2
Also shoutout to my pal, CNS, for some of the theories near the end of the video!

  • "My brother in Christ you bought the kid the game. READ THE AGE WARNING!" That is such a good line dude.

    My headcanon regarding the Operator's origin has always been that Alex accidentally "imagined" him into existence. On that old tape of Alex's birthday, when he blows the candles - an act often associated with making a wish - the visage of the Operator, twitching, appears for a brief moment. It is a common belief that if you blow out all the candles at once, your wish will come true. And it sure did. "All at once! Well done, Alex."

    Fun fact about the guy Alex kills at 1:12:51, the dude was pretty much a friend of the creators of Marble Hornets who basically made an offer to them telling them that he was willing to be a random person they can add to the body count in Marble Hornets. I think you can tell what their answer was.

    31:51 Funny fact: Joseph (Alex's actor) said that all he was doing in that computer was just typing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on repeat.

    So crazy I’m seeing this and because literally 24 hrs ago I was thinking to myself, “man I kinda wanna rewatch marble hornets.” This is my god given sign. Thanks man.🙏
  • @localloser7415
    My theory is The Operator is just a big fan of student films and is simply just watching and thinks all the death and madness is apart of the movie since they are always recording and everyone else is just losing it for no real reason.
  • @doragon214
    Don't worry about the spooky ghost story that Alex told, that's a red herring. The creators Joseph and Troy later stated in a panel they regretted including that scene because it led so many people to assume that was their origin story for the Operator. It's not, the Operator's origins are shrouded in mystery and it's meant to stay that way.

    I was petrified as a pre-teen because of this series. Like one time sobbed uncontrollably in a walmart parking lot because it was dark and i saw something in the woods nearby. It's forever iconic to me.
  • I don't think that the operator actually "attacks" anyone in the series. He feels more like a passive antagonist, influencing those around him and causing others to act based on that influence like Alex
  • @mr_yoru5834
    I remember when Marble Hornets first started. There was one point where the dude went over a month without uploading. Everyone thought it was over. Then he came back and made the hiatus apart of the story. Stuff like that made it easy to appreciate the effort being put into it.
  • Oh also, fun fact! Not only did Slender: The Eight Pages take inspiration from Marble Hornets, but the boys who made Marble Hornets also wrote some of the ideas and plot points for Slender: The Arrival!
  • @Monochr_ome
    personal theory: the operator isn't interested in killing people it just wants people to forget it exists.
  • @sockatoo_
    DUDE, the glass animals intro squence???? immediately caught my attention. awesome job with this.
  • @ImperiousMax
    What I most enjoyed about the videos where almost "nothing" happens is that it builds tension, you're constantly expecting something to happen or maybe spot the Operator in the background... but there's usually nothing. It also helps as a breather between the actual high-tension moments in the series, something alot of people seem to forget is a necessary bit in a series as long as this, that's why we have Filler Episodes.

    " The Operator " goes so much harder than " Slender Man ". Slender Man sounds like i could beat him with my hands, THE OPERATOR sounds like imma end up awake in an alleyway missing my limbs
  • @soktherat777
    Some of the guys who worked on Marble Hornets did end up helping with Slender: The Arrival. Specifically they helped write the story for the game. So the similarities to Marble Hornets are very much more than skin deep. I'm glad Marble Hornets still manages to be relevant to this day.

    I'm really happy that people still talk about and enjoy this series. Despite its flaws, it's still a damn impressive piece of art. Also everyone simps for Tim, so you're not alone.
  • @actualawry
