I think he's pretty cool.

>>37425
Right?

You know it's bad when Hannibal Lector is like "WHOA, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU."

so I just started watching tonight
>second episode
>that one part
>you know the one

I don't really get how you can make a Hannibal TV show. I mean what is it even about, just covering everything from Hannibal Rising up through Hannibal?

>>37470
Think of it as an alternate reality where Hannibal during his days as a psychiatrist works much closer with the FBI and Will Graham in particular as they attempt to catch other super deranged serial killers while Hannibal is copycatting many of their crimes to cover his tracks, it sounds a little monster of the week but there is WAAAAAY more going on.

Will Graham in this is FUCKING FASCINATING and massively fucked up.

>>37469
RIGHT?

Just talking about Hannibal on /baw/ and realized I should mention how creep the killer's dens are.

>>37470
I dunno anything about Silence of the Lambs, but from what I've been getting the show is about a guy who eats people...like, all the time.

>the angel maker

>>37503
Yeah shit was super fucked.

So its like an evil Dexter?

>>37522
Dexter was already an evil Dexter.

>Sorbet
>cooking montage

see I don't even know what to say here
what do I even say here

>>37516
PERFECT.

>>37522
Nope, not even close.

Look up Brian Fuller, that ought to give you a better idea what you are up against here.

>>37539
*Don't say hungry Don't say hungry Don't say hungry*

...Hungry?

Will, I know the whole encephalitis is not helping but FUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>37494

>>37540
Bryan Fuller does this show? Is it funny/charming and quirkily morbid, like if Tim Burton had talent?

>>37548
If by "quirkily morbid" you mean "multiple people dying horribly every episode," then yes.
>if Tim Burton had talent
Someone's never seen Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, etc.

>>37550
>>37548
Every movie he's made is brilliant. I will stick to this opinion.

>>37548
Lets say his style is of a similar and arguable more enjoyable nature and yes, Hannibal is definitely a Fuller work but with a much greater seriousness than his previous work.

>>37550
>Someone's never seen Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, etc.
I was being glib for the sake of pithiness. I've actually enjoyed some of Tim Burton's work quite a bit. But I feel like he gets more credit than he deserves (for example, getting credit for Nightmare Before Christmas despite doing almost nothing on it, and getting credit for the rest of Henry Selick's work solely because of Nightmare Before Christmas), and I think he is one of the people who overrates himself.

I'm a big fan of Bryan Fuller, though. Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me were two of my favorite shows of the past few decades, and Heroes was way better when he was still working on it.

so I just watched Buffet Froid

>I feel like he gets more credit than he deserves
>for example, getting credit for Nightmare Before Christmas despite doing almost nothing on it
You mean besides writing the poem it was based on, doing the concept art and storyboards, and co-writing the script? Just because he didn't direct it doesn't mean he just slapped his name on the project.

None of this has anything to do with this thread. Take your complaints about an entirely unrelated guy to the general thread, please.

>>37564
OH GOD I NEED THAT SHIRT

I found it
I found the gif that approximates my feelings

come for the acting and the art direction
stay for the uncomfortable sexual attraction to the guy who eats people

>that fungus episode

NOPE

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

Hannibal is everything I never realized I wanted from an episode of CSI

>>37623
competency?

>>37618
I loved that, between that and The Last of Us I think the idea of how horrifying fungus is is really setting in for people.

oHMY FUCKING GOD THAT NEW EPISODE

OH GOD GEORGIA I'M SO SORRY
NO JACK NO DON'T FALL FOR THAT SUGGESTIVE HANNIBAL SHIT
oh jeez what actually happened to you Bedelia
SOMEONE GET WILL BACK TO A FUCKING HOSPITAL SOMEONE PUT HIM IN A FUCKING BRAIN TUBE WHATEVER THOSE THINGS ARE CALLED
oh god Abigail oh god oh man oh god I'm so sorry I'm so so sorry I'm gonna fucking cry

every goddamn episode of this show is like as affecting as The Rains of Castamere

>>37624

>>37626
Now that I have watched it I would just like to say...nothing and cry.

Oh my god the Korean previews

WHY

Oh God they flipped the books in episode 13.

>>37739
can't say I didn't see that last shot coming
I was drinking continuously throughout the finale
The only real question I have now is whether or not Hannibal killed Abigail. If he did, why not show the body?

>>37740
The thing is there are a lot of hanging question that cast doubt on Will even to us the viewer but the best?

"I can see you clearly now"

So, I marathon-ed the show earlier in the week and watched the finale today.

I've red two of the books (Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs) and watched three of the movies (Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal), and I have to say...

This show is better. It's so much better than in the books (while still paying homage to them) and a helluva lot better than the movies. Everything about this show is so well executed that even the scenes of dismemberment and gore feel very eloquent. I just really love this show, and it had me hooked from the first episode.

I like that this show is very smart yet also very clear without having to talk down to you. It proves that you can still be creative and intelligent and not be forced to twist what you've made to be more easily consumable for the wider audience.

I love Hannibal's cooking segments and how he keeps his trophies of everyone he kills? It feels weird to see him work with human organs and then think "Wow, this looks delicious" by the time he's done with it. I don't think the casting could have been more perfect. Honestly, I didn't think much of Mads Mikkelsen before this show, as I only saw him in Casino Royale, and didn't really like that movie, but watching this show really shows off a very well-honed talent. I also thought Lawrence Fishbourne used to be really good, but lost his chops in more recent films (I really didn't think he was all that great in predators), but now I see I was wrong. I don't think I heard of (Or at least saw anything with him in it) Hugh Dancy before this.

Just every aspect of this is a well crafted show. It makes me wish Bryan Fuller was doing Game of Thrones, oddly enough.

>>37767
I really like what they did with Fredricka "Freddie" Lounds and the changing of Tattlecrime from a tabloid to blog, it being run by an asshole blogger who feels like she is doing good work makes so much sense.

>>37767
i really want this showto do super well because 1 from what ive seen its awesome (granted ive only seen two episodes) and 2 i really dont want bryan fuller to become the next joss whedon, doomed to have a bunch of brilliant, canceled shows.

>>37776
Freddie is SUCH A GREAT CHARACTER. I kinda want her to go on the run with Will next season. The prospect of revealing such a huge frame up would be really enticing to a journalist like her. Also I just think it would be hilarious if the two of them had to get along in a confined space for hours on end.
I love that Fuller could have kept all the characters the same genders they were in the books and it still would have been a good if sausagey show. But he put in more ladies! And Alana rejects Will but she isn't vilified! And Bedelia is SCARY! And ABIGAIL perfect fragile invincible murder princess of my heart, pardon my tumblr vomit I can't help it. And Beverly is just great oh my god.

>pardon my tumblr vomit
No.

>>37806
>>37808
Hell, is this c/p because what's with the obsession with labeling characters invincible she got stabbed like a billion times.

>>37801
Given where Whedon's ended up thanks to his career of brilliant, cancelled shows, there are worse fates one could have.

>>37809
Is that a person? Ah sorry, should have explained. I said "invincible" because 1) I'm not convinced she's dead and 2) if she is, she'll live on in Freddie's probably insane book. The "veal" thing was obviously supposed to make us think that Hannibal killed her. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he did, but it could be a red herring. Why haven't we seen a body, for instance? I'm hoping that the end of season 2 or 3 will have Hannibal brought to trial, and that's when Abigail will come back as a witness. If she's alive. Which she probably isn't. I can dream.
>>37808
you wound me so

>>37812
I dunno, Abigail and Jack's Dead Rookie are probably dead but being kept somewhere Ala Richard Kuklinski.
