The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get about the C2E2 panel.
Yes it had some very cute Hugh and Mads moments. But.
It felt like every Supernatural panel where they sidestepped and watered down any talk of Destiel. Except this time, they were closing off any talk about a CANONICALLY QUEER RELATIONSHIP!!!
The late announcement that Hugh was joining Mads at the con now feels like just a money grab by whoever set the panel up. It felt like just an easy way to take advantage of the Hannibal fandoms interest without actually having to put in any effort into acknowledging WHY we are so interested in Hannibal.
I mean, the hotdog question?? Really?? We all know that Hannibal would rather starve than willingly buying some unidentifiable ground meat off the street.
It even felt like Mads was having to keep his responses under wraps. I mean, we all how much he supports the romantic aspect of Hannibal and Will's relationship, so it just feels very icky.
I didn't really have any set-in-stone expectations, but I thought that acknowledging the main themes of the piece of media that the con was set up for would be the very least they could do.
Phew im gonna go drink like five cups of coffee to go chill myself out
