*spoilers* the witch is over powered.

Do you know what the word overpowered actually means? Might pay to look it up.

I actually have a theory about about that, a theory that the happenings in the movie actually supports. I don't believe the witch is a witch at all, but actually a Wendigo.

The Wendigo is a creature from Native American legend. It once was a human, usually a Native American that gets separated from the rest of their tribe or a settler or group of settlers that get separated from the rest of their expedition. After a hard winter in which they run out of food, they inevitably turn to cannibalism, either eating the dead and then killing the living and eating their flesh. When you do this, the legend says you can superior strength, beyond human senses, and unnaturally long life, but you are no longer satisfied by any other food, and over the centuries you become an inhuman monster.

Wendigos live in the forests, often using the trees to stalk their pray. They drag you along the ground before they jerk you up into the trees, where they kill and eat you. Or they kill you and take your body back to their lair, and you're never seen again. Some accounts describe the Wendigo as being unnaturally skinny and tall. They can also mimic human voices and screams. It's one way they lure their prey out to them.

The Blair Witch did all of these things, drawing the group away from the campsite by crying to them in the voices of their friends, dragging them along and jerking them up into the trees. Even that brief glimpse we had of the witch in the house resembled the Wendigo in form. She's also still alive hundreds of years after her presumed death. All of her characteristics are a match to those of the Wendigo.

she is OP as *beep*. I mentioned earlier the group is actually pretty well prepared outside of not having a gun but even if they had one, it would have had about as much effect as them fighting an Avenger. The rule is that the group has to sleep overnight in the woods in order for them to feel her wrath. So the next morning the group discovers that they slept into mid-afternoon. Turns out they are now in a dimension were the witch controls time, weather, and the environment. After being separated from the group, DarkWeb666 returns to reveal that they have been running in the darkness for days despite only being separated a few hours earlier. The Witch displays other powers such as altering reality, knocking a drone 100ft in the air, and killing the black guy first.

What is the point of this thread? This isn't a video game. It's just meaningless.

What even IS the Witch exactly? This has never been fully determined. Certainly not in the original. Nor in Book Of Shadows. Or in this one. Her powers are completely indeterminable because much of what happens to the characters is up for interpretation and ambiguous. And she has only ever been seen (if the 3 seconds of footage of that 'thing/entity' in this film even IS the Witch in her truest form) for a fleeting moment. It was established in the original and in the Curse Of The Blair Witch that she clearly is powerful enough to alter place and time how she wishes within the woods, "the trees themselves do her bidding" and has existed for a very, very long time.

I mean, were you expecting some sort of comic book showdown between James and the Blair Witch? Like they could actually defeat her? I think the whole thematic of all of the Blair Witch films, particularly the first, is hopelessness. Like you know there is absolutely no way they could beat the truly evil force that they are up against and they are all not long for the world.
