Pros: I'd say Everyman Hybrid has the most likeable and interesting characters out of the Slenderman videos I've seen. From the beginning, they feel completely real. I do appreciate how this lot of characters act more light-hearted. It feels realistic to me. My friends and I would be the type to crack jokes to relieve the tension and paranoia. I honestly think that sometimes the guys in Marble Hornets seem to be reading off a script and don't always feel like real people. The EMH cast never seem like their acting.
I feel that the scenes with the Rake are the best in the series. The way they filmed the Rake felt awfully real. Like you'd actually find something like that in your closet or shed. The Rake feels like it'd really exist in the real world. Out of all of the monsters in the Slendy series', I'd say the Rake and the Observer from Tribe Twelve to be the most interesting.
I like the implications that Slendy may not be as threatening as we think. Slendy doesn't seem like the bad guy in this series which is a fresh and interesting take on things. For example, in Damsel's tumblr when HABIT takes over, the little girl, Nick and the father whose family's killed describe seeing Slendy and him giving them a strange sort've comfort. Of course, I could be reading this incorrectly but I think's it'd be an interesting path to take.
Cons: Honestly, the series is very confusing, much more then other Slendy series' I've seen. I don't like how if you don't click a certain video from another channel or read a tweet or tumblr post, you've missed out on important information. It's just a bit of a headache jumping between it all, trying to put everything in chronological order.
My biggest pet peeve is HABIT. Seeing him person was disappointing to me. He was a very sterotypical wise-cracking psycho. To be honest this was the one time I thought to myself this was an actor pretending to be someone else, instead of feeling like it was a real entity. HABIT doesn't ring true like the Rake or Slendy. In hindsight, I felt the implication that he inHABITed some of the more horrific serial killers on Damsel's tumblr to be a bit silly as well. Like it was being forced down our throats that he was EVIL. I feel like HABIT has fallen victim to the Show Don't Tell rule. We're told he's scary, but just doesn't feel like he is.
