One of my favourite lines is when Hannibal says "I don't hide from God" before eating the ortolans in Ko No Mono.
How Mads delivers it. The way Hannibal seems to be barely concealing his anger, his voice slightly trembling with grudge. God failed him, and he has a personal war going on to expose His hypocrisy. God kills, lets innocents die, and then has the audacity to set Himself up as judge of humanity while being the first to enjoy their suffering.
Hannibal feels entitled to do all kinds of wicked things, because he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he will never be as cruel as Him.
Hannibal refuses to cover his head, he wants God to be witness of his evil deeds, and once again, do nothing.
When Mischa died, where was God?
When she cried Hannibal's name, and he was too weak to save her - just a young boy scratching the locked stable door with his nails trying to reach her and stop her killers - was God enjoying the scene? Hannibal might be a monster, the devil himself, but he's nothing compared to his Creator.
This is one of the rare moments in which Hannibal slips out of his person suit, where he lets Will see him. Not his monster nature, but his vulnerability.
"I let you know me. See me."
