It's nonsense. Hannibal has been uniquely fixated on Will from the beginning and wants Will as his companion and partner in crime, not his dinner. He eats random people for what are usually hilariously petty revenge-fantasy reasons (I still want to know what the IT guy did, we only saw his business card in a montage) and doesn't bother to spend much time or effort interacting with them as people, much less try to become their mentor and the center of their world, as he's done with Will. There's a popular interpretation of Hannibal as this generic emotionless psychopath that's not supported by canon, TPTB, or the cast. He's so much weirder and more interesting than that. Will understands murder/murderers in a unique empathic way and has a real dark side that Hannibal just loves and sees as great unrealized potential, but he doesn't actually want to be Hannibal's forever murderfriend, so he tried unsuccessfully to get Hannibal caught at the end of this season (which Hannibal reacted to very violently but also very emotionally) and will most likely follow through next season. In which case Hannibal probably would give a little thought to eating him out of anger and revenge. But killing Will would be giving up on him for good, which TPTB have said he'll never do. He's evil, he enjoys what he does and he's generally a happy person, but it's a lonely life. Other killers just aren't good enough to be his friends, as he's told them, lol.

ah, I see. So there's more nuance to it than that. Thanks for the clarification.
