Remember goon-made web-series, Marble Hornets?



How exactly did that end? I remember the first "season" was mostly uncovering the hidden tapes from their movie production. Second one had them in a creepy hotel? Third one is a complete blur. Watching the last few minutes of the series explains very little.

I always sort of preferred their comedy shorts, anyway:

it ends with the slender man becoming an extremely generic dull uninteresting over hyped boogey man that is so dumb, boring, and gay, that instead of people getting scared when they see him, they now just get pissed off

unless they're little kids, then they try to kill each other

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

people made lovely video games about it op

Real answer: The guy that made the initial tapes given to the protagonist kills him to stop slenderman from spreading (they did the oldschool twist where he spreads his "influence" via videos and poo poo) and it was a pretty alright twist because it happened without much foreshadowing. Then the secondary protagonist guy hunts him down and revenge-kills him after a video distortion effects montage chase. The series ends with the secondary protagonist dude being ambiguous about whether or not slenderman went away after killing the guy and it ends on a big ol :shrug:

GBS answer: hurrr poopy dicks they all stabbed people in real life and died the end xD

edit: Then they started their new thing and it kinda sucks.

I disagree, they went for the sudden shock angle which I think is just as valid- in the episode where it happens, Jay (the protagonist) follows Alex into the building even though Alex is suspicious that he's being followed, but then Jay loses him. Alex gets the drop on him and bang bang -1 protagonist so it doesn't literally come out of nowhere.

their overuse of the distortion effects tanked it for me shortly after it all started tbh it was real annoying

It was actually pretty satisfying because Jay is a god drat dumbass and seeing him get shot was cathartic because for a Guy Who Goes To Cramped Isolated Places Alone At Night Unarmed he sure did survive for dozens of repeat performances. The one time somebody he was following actually had a way to kill him, he lost.

Marble Magic was a classic video game but I don't think its ending particularly needs any outside explanation

The best twists are the ones repeatedly and blatantly revealed without the viewer realising it ala Killer 7.

If you're not disappointed in yourself for not realising the twist upon rewatch/read/play, it was a poor twist.
