Countdown to Armageddon
Now THIS shyt is hilarious. Lets review.
Your retort?
I'll let you get back to editing posts Ive already responded to lol. Good day.
So I respond with my points about the show laid out all nice and simple for you.
*no suspense due to over familiarity with characters
Facepalm. One, familiarity with characters has nothing to do with suspense of the story. Two, Ive never heard such queer logic attempted in a criticism. Im a big Batman fan, Ive seen every film and comic, so of course this means I will enjoy the new show LESS?Moreover, the characters and the story are all quite different from any previous incarnations of the Hannibal universe. Every event and every character has been tweaked and remixed, or completely revamped or built from scratch, so to infer that this is some kind of retread that you can predict is absolute nonsense. If you were as familiar with the source material as you claim, you would already know this and would never write this dumb shyt to begin with. Pretty sure you're lying about that.
*over reliance on shock value/violence
Its a show about serial killers and it fully embraces that fact in the best and most artistic way possible. What did you expect though? Thats like criticizing Transformers for relying on robots and CGI. This is not valid criticism. In a sea of shows about serial killers, nothing else presents the gory details with such stylized and twisted beauty. On network TV, no less.
*formulaic killer of the weeks/filler
Every "killer of the week" is both integrally tied into the overarching story and saga of the main characters and used as a means to deal with the many subjects I pointed out earlier. Clearly one of the biggest aspects of the show that flew completely over your head.
*slow paced plot
Adderall works wonders. Let me guess, you were often checking your phone or completing other tasks during these "slow-paced" moments? No wonder you missed out.
*no character develoment
Not everything is Tolstoy. That said, this is patently false. Will has gone through more than one metamorphasis since Hannibal crawled into his brain. In very limited screentime, Margot is already better realized as a realistic person than the novel where she was almost a cartoonish stereotype of a lesbian. Chilton went from annoying and generic minor antagonist to a very funny and charismatic scene-stealer that is both conniving and sympathetic. All of this, keep in mind, taking place before we ever even meet any of these characters in the novel canon. So that's quite a starting point to continue on from.
*no depth to the show in writing
Again, this just tells me that you have no idea what you're talking about. Probably has something to do with the fact that you were tuned out during all those "slow-paced" dialogue scenes? The plot itself has many twists and swerves, again completely different from those of the source material while still masterfully weaving in countless callbacks and homages. And on top of that there are the many overarching themes that are explored in subtle and not so subtle ways.
Your retort?
Well that was quick :wonka: I think my work here is done. Bluff called. Card pulled. Alla that.

I agree some killings are just too farfetched but fukk it. Finished S2 last week 
I thought it was alot better than the first. It just kept my attention unlike S1. Hannibal was just
Bro, the burden of proof is on you. You are the one making those claims. YOU have the prove ME wrong. If it's everything you say it is, you should have no trouble doing it. You are trying to make this some sort of academic exercise when it's just a TV show. SMH. It's ridiculous.
