Hannibal (2013-2015)

1x10 || 1x13 || 2x13

So I just finished rewatching Hannibal and I noticed a detail in the final scenes of the series.

In the final episode Will pulls himself and Hannibal off that cliff right? And then the camera pans down to the ocean where they fall.

But the ocean is undisturbed. If two grown men fell into the ocean from a cliff there would be a pretty big splash. But there’s nothing. There is no sign of two bodies falling into the water. But the camera focuses on that.

There is NO WAY that is a coincidence. That it isn’t intentional. Otherwise it would be unnecessary to draw out attention to the ocean down below.

Plus the post credits scene is a pretty big hint that Will and Hannibal survived. There is no way Bedelia would cut up her own leg and prepare it and there is no one except Hannibal who would do so to her.

So my theory is the Fall was Will’s imagination. We already know his mind is prone to hallucinations so I think it is very plausible the fall was also one. It was more of a metaphorical fall. Wills moral fall. The FBI Agent Will Graham and the cold and emotionless Chesapeake Ripper are well and truly gone. Dead. Drowned. Their person suits shed. Will’s

And all that was left was the real Will and Hannibal. Monstrous, free and completely bound together.

“Can’t live with him, can’t live without him”

The old Will and Hannibal couldn’t, so they died that night in each others arms.

The new Will and Hannibal finally accept each other and themselves fully and truly. The blood, the gore and the love.

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Are there any other particularly egregious examples?

This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:

It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).

This book can be downloaded for free on Researchgate, posted there by the author himself:

When you write a book like American Gods you make friends with your doctor and ask him lots of questions about surviving Wisconsin Winters, plunges into cold water and the like.

I just realized he has his hands in his gotdamn pockets. Like, he is so not even bothered by this weak-ass serial killer. And that SMILE. What a dick! I love him so much. He’s like,

“Oh, I see, you kill women because you’re a sad, emotionally stunted little worm. Well I’m fucking satan, and here is my sweet baby angel who will fuck your shit up and I don’t even have to get my hands out of my pants. Incidentally, I’d like to put my hands in his pants, but we can’t have everything all at once, can we.”
