What is there to say about Hannibal Lecter? My petition for villainy can be summed up in three words: HE EATS PEOPLE. To elaborate: A LOT OF PEOPLE. ANY TIME THERE IS FOOD ON THE SCREEN IT IS PROBABLY PEOPLE. HE gleefully feeds longpig to anyone who comes to eat at his house. He feeds people to his friend's dogs. Sometimes when the people are not yet dead.
This dick spends a whole season gaslighting Will Graham - his PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT - into thinking he's mentally ill, when he actually has untreated encephalitis, just to see what will happen. His weird murder crush escalates into framing Will for the death of their quasi-daughter figure Abigail. Fun! Hey doc, ever hear of maybe sending a freaking edible arrangement instead? Oh wait no forget I said that, because that's SEASON THREE. He murders and then Damien Hirsts fan favourite Beverly Katz (noooo) when she starts to figure it out.
When Will is absolved of Abigail's murder he continues to try to coax Will to murdertown. When he finds out Will is cheating on him with Jack Crawford he for real kills Abigail (who, surprise, he's been stockholm syndroming in his basement this whole time) in front of him, stabs him, and then runs off to Italy with his own psychiatrist...
There's really so much I don't even know what to put here. A few points:
- kidnaps a guy and makes him eat himself, slowly over the course of weeks (?) albeit deliciously prepared - Cannibal - shoves an EAR down Will's throat while he's drugged to make him think he ate abigail - kills that poor cheese guy who just wanted to be friends - eats people - steals the woman Will was interested in while he was in jail - eats a guy and steals his identity to gallivant across europe - kills scarf guy who really thought he was gonna have a threesome, and origamis him into a valentine heart for Will - He EATS PEOPLE
