Thoughts on Hannibal TV Series?

>>79667934
Better than most the movies. Mads played a version of Hannibal that had a lot more screen time, so he didn't need to be as hammy as Hopkins was.

Top tier psychology- and homoerotic-kino.

>>79668013
I loved the show initially, and then the Red Dragon arc happened, and I was compelled to rewatch the entire series.

Daily reminder that Mads is autistic. He begged Fuller not to let them use this take. Fuller spat in his face, laughed and told them to use it anyway. Mads was hella pissed and threatened to quit the show.

>>79667934
First two seasons are god-tier but the last season is very disappointing.

>>79667934
Slow first season.
Literally perfect second season with the best final episode I have ever seen on any show.
Really bad third season.

Halfway through season 2, taken a break because I don't want it to end, Mads is a god-tier actor.

That wendigo stag thing is creepy as fuck too, same as that bit where Will is at the shooting range and the poster turns into Hobbs when it's coming back, this show knows how to do horror.

Seriously one of the best shows of the last decade. I saw Cure for Wellness the other day and all I could think is how much better Hannibal did everything that movie tried to do.

3 season was shit. first two are top tier goat kinos

>>79668177

It was a good choice on Fuller's part desu, Hannibal was trying to seem innocent at this point.

I wish Mads didn't mumble so much. I had to watch the entire show with subtitles to understand what the fuck he was saying.

It was shit

Dude, Graham is autistic! It means he's like super empathetic!

You can see why they stopped with that plot point, because that ain't autism.

>>79668324
Pretty sure that's just his accent.

I miss pumpkinposting
thank you /tv/

>>79667934
It was really good for the most part. Great cinematography and acting but at some point, especially during the horrible HORRIBLE finale of Season 2 it became such pseudo-intellectual drivel. First episode of Season 3 was great, I stopped watching after watching the second episode though because I couldn't stand seeing Will again. They should have made the show about Hannibal at that point.

>>79668381

You didn't watch the Red Dragon arc?

Seeing as they will be bringing Hannibal back in a year or two it was a big mistake killing off Verger half way through season 3. How it should've gone down:
>Hannibal get's captured and handed over to US authorities
>halfway through the season now, two or three episodes could be spent on Hannibal's trial
>bring back sexy orderly as a witness against Hannibal
>Hannibal would be his own lawyer, being all charismatic and shit to convince the jury he's insane
>could also greatly focus on Verger trying to bribe everyone to influence the trial to try and get the death penalty for Hannibal
>Verger pays the prosecutor shitloads of cash to ensure he does his best job
>at the end of the trial arc the jury find Hannibal insane, he gets imprisoned
>Verger is furious and has the prosecutor privately tortured at his estate
Then you could put the Verger storyline on hold until Hannibal escapes and then use the massacre at his farm as a future season finale. Verger should've been saved as a final boss, not wasted halfway through season 3.

>>79668356
Some claim that autists don't have any lack of empathy but are just completely overwhelmed by it.

>>79668407
I haven't thought and certainly not read up on the series since I quit it. How nice that they did the red dragon. I love Manhunter.

>>79668360

>>79667934
Simply one of the best series in recent years regarding it's visual style and allusions. And I was sceptical as fuck if we really need another adaption of the source materials. But they managed to add so many interesting new layers and keeping true to the source material that I was really impressed.

>>79668551
hot

>>79667934
Season 1 &2 where good, season 3 took itself too seriously and every character talked like he was doing a goth monologue.
Also, they went full gay, for me their relationship shouldn't be sexual.
Also, how will got away in season 2 of being his copycat and making a statue with the dead body of a girl was FULL retard.

>>79668356
Graham was never autistic. He was neurotic and a whole slew of other things they didn't care to elaborate on.

I don't think season 3 took itself too seriously at all. Fuller himself said he wanted to make a pretentious artfilm out of season 3 because he knew the show was getting cancelled so he just did it for fun.

>>79669311
If you weren't gay before watching Hannibal, well you are by the end of Season 3

>>79667934
somehow managed to be more gay than every homosexual male in history all fucking each other at once. and then the show is purposely grandiose to the point where it becomes "lol just turn off your brain dude" but for pseudointellectuals. everything is so unrealistic, every character besides will and hannibal are so unrealistically stupid and oblivious.

>>79669311
Man the Hannibal memes were fresh.

Still incredibly mad that Michael Pitt left the fucking show and we got a different actor to play Verger.

I'm watching the show again, that constant banging plastic soundtrack is pissing me off, I get it's meant to be scary, but christ, it's like someone is doing it right next to me.

this basically
they went full art-house in the first half of the third season but it didn't really fit with the format...
i swear, i really felt that one episode was literally only will walking around in slow motion around hannibal's family mansion in lithuania...
jack fucking up hannibal's shit was really great though...

>>79671151
>>79671262
There was no evidence to fuck with there you idiot. All he does is sniff the corpse, he notices the scent of the rare flowers, allowing him to identify the killer's hideout. The way the authorities figure out where the killer's hideout is has nothing to do with forensic evidence on the body. Retard.

There's a theory that he deliberately spergs into discount Chrissy and Maragret Cho to deposit some skin cells on them

It seems more likely he's trying to make them think he's just a dweeby chimp though

>>79671441
I just thought he was acting out of place to toy with them.

>>79668463
how do you know they'll bring it back??
don't give me false hopes anon, i already got over the cancellation, i couldn't handle another disappointment...

>>79668381
What the fuck are you on about? The season 2 finale was the best episode of the entire season. One of the best finale I've seen on any show thus far. Should have ended the show there.

>Just continued where I left off because I saw this thread, and the first episode I watched had Mads in swimwear

Goodness.

>>79671593
Nah Red Dragon arc was amazing.

>>79671541
Fuller wants to bring it back and the cast said they'd be on board. But the problem is that no network will pick it back up. They might do a movie too.

>>79671664
Who the fuck wouldn't want to pick it up? It's art.

>>79668811
I agree with you about what you said about season 3. I don't really think they took it so seriously but the dialogue wasn't the strongest this season. Still some great quotes from the season tho.

>>79671759
"You didn't lose yourself, you just crawled so far up his ass you couldn't be bothered."

>>79667934

Sure are a lot of serial killers in that general area.

We have a show in the uk called Midsummer Murders where somebody is killed every week in a small town. You'd think everybody would have moved away.

>>79671975
I think that, or at the very least, the town's population should be like 10 people left by this point.

Is it worh it? Does it have an ending? It was cancelled so does the story finish?

It leaves it open, but it's a fitting end to the series if it is the end.

>>79668169

He's not wrong, faggot.

>>79667934
As long as you consider season 2 the end it's high elder god tier.

3rd season was atrocious

>>79672454
Now that you mention it, Season 2 could've been the end.

>>79671614
Only redeeming part of season 3 imo

>>79671688
You'd be surprised. They tried amazon or some shit and they turned them down and they need a network that will budget the show. The thing is, nobody watched it before it was too late.

>>79672761
Fucking plebs and their shit taste.

>>79672454
i agree with this 100%. the end of season 2 would have been a really fitting ending for the series.

Ii wish it had gone on longer and was surprised when it did get cancelled. I figured after toeing the line with low ratings for 3 seasons they were on stable, if less then ideal ground.
I really liked the fairy tale feel of the show, it was over the top and artsy but that was way more interesting then just stretching the movies out into tv shows. I really wanted to see what fuller version of silence of the lambs would have been like. I still have hope amazon or even netlfix picks it up since theyre the island for misfit or rebooted tv shows now

the only thing that bothered me was how gay it was. I dont care about the /pol/ boogey man but for fucks sake we get, you like dick fuller. The "romance" between hannibal and will was cringy at times, at best they should have been bros with a standing angry respect for one another. If he toned it toned it would have been even better

>>79671975
but theyre the FBI's behavioral science unit. All the do is investigate serial killers across the country. Some episodes they are in Virginia, Minnesota, or maryland.
In smaller shows that makes less sense but here it does

Seriously. Get shot and survive only to be burned alive and survive.

I fucking dropped it one or two episodes into Season 2.

Will appeared dead, and it looked like the series would follow Hannibal, which was a great change in my opinion. The first episode (or first bit of it, I can't remember) was all cohesive, straight forward and enjoyable. No pseudo intellectual shit, no fucking hallucinations, just straight up enjoyable TV.

Then Will comes back, and oh look, more hallucinations, more OOOO SHES DEAD BUT WE SHOWED HER LIKE SHE'S ALIIIIIIIIVE, SO DEEEEEEEEEEP.

Dropped it. Never looked back. There is a good show there, but fuck me its hidden beneath layers and layers of pseudo intellectual crap and hallucinations meant only to make you go "oh ok, that was all not real and a waste of my time, cool"

Great show for arm hair aficionados. Caroline Dhavernas, Lara Jean Chorostecki, Ellen Muth, Kacey Rohl...

The dialogue is so low but the music is FUCKING LOUD. I know its for dramatic effect but it makes for poor watching. Probably my only criticism of the show except for Red Dragon stuff, dropped the show at that. Couldn't hold my interest that suddenly Will was too retarded to do his job without Hannibals Hand Holding

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...

But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.

And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.

See you on the boards...

Good looking, well produced garbage.

A damn shame Hannibal posting never caught on, it was a good meme.

Mizumono is the best episode of TV ever made.

>>79684272
pretty much

I genuinely hate everything Hannibal Lecter related past Red Dragon. The author himself hates what's been done to the character.

Hannibal Lecter is just some nut bag who is a little more clever than most. He doesn't even do anything in Red Dragon but talk to Will and make a phone call to Dollarhyde.

The interpretation that he is some Joker like agent of chaos that persuades people to eat brains and is smart enough to pull this shit off constantly is just fucking stupid.

>>79667934
I thought it was great, one of the best tv series of the decade. Sometimes it was even a little too gross.

I really likes how they focused more on the psychological aspect as opposed to the police-work aspect.

People keep commenting on how well everyone was dressed, but I noticeably did not like the wardrobe

>>79683972
In the book Mason tried to use his political influences and finances to get Hannibal the death penalty. Hannibal was his own lawyer and manipulated the jury into finding him insane.

Hannibal's trial could've been a really fun two / three episode arc but Fuller rushed the fuck out of this show and we don't even see a fucking trial.

>>79668356

He wasn't autistic. He was somewhere on the spectrum but he was a whole bunch of things that made him the way he was.

I think they explain that Will's brain never stopped firing mirroring neurons on all cylinders, meaning that he's always been able to empathize and mimic another persons thoughts incredibly well, at the cost of his sense of self.

>>79669311
