Same, I can't stand that guy. Anthony Hopkins will always be Hannibal to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I like all three, Anthony, Mads, and Gaspard, even I prefer the book!Hannibal.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I don't see the appeal to him at all.

[(Anonymous)]

He is probably the UGLIEST guy on TV!

[(Anonymous)]

He looks like a frog.

[(Anonymous)]

He looks like a less attractive Putin.

And this has what to do with his acting skills? Hopkins isn't my type either. I just find the character interesting. Mads is my personal favorite, but I like Hopkins too.

[(Anonymous)]

It seems like a pretty natural and harmless misunderstanding?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it is the most recent version.

[(Anonymous)]

And most of the fans are even younger than the movie version, so most of them weren't alive when the movie came out to the cinema.

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone who was old enough to see Silence of the Lambs in theaters when it first came out would now be at least 43 years old, so yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

So, wait, according to you young people assuming you're talking about the show they watched two years ago instead of books and movies from 30 years ago aka a time when they weren't even born is so terrible? Okay.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't even like that actor but I enjoy butthurt Hopkins purists.

I'm not part of that fandom, but I'd probably assume that's the version people would be talking about since it's the most recent.

I don't get the hate for his looks either. He looks like a classy middle-aged european guy, and he's in pretty good shape as far as I can tell too.

[rosehiptea]

I don't watch any version of Hannibal but I saw Mads in something else that had a sex scene and he was looking pretty good. But he does have plenty of fans, even if they're not showing up here to argue.

[dancing_serpent]

Yep, the guy is fit and moves with the grace of a dancer.

[soldatsasha]

I mean, if they're talking about the character I do assume they're talking about either the Mads version or the book version. Mostly because the movies are pretty fucking old at this point.

But also I think Mads because while SotL is one of my favorite movies ever I thought Anthony Hopkins fucking sucked as Dr. Lecter and brought down the whole goddamn movie, and the few scenes I've watched of Brian Cox in the role weren't any better.

I thought Anthony Hopkins fucking sucked as Dr. Lecter and brought down the whole goddamn movie

Huh. I've never heard/seen someone say that before. It occurs to me that I...don't entirely disagree. I've always just kind of gone along with the pervading idea that Hopkins did A Very Good Job and it was An Iconic Performance, because I don't care a whole lot about SOTL either way (it was good, but I'm far from passionate about it). But when I actually stop and think about Hopkins' performance, from a modern perspective (and especially when compared to Mads' performance), I just find it OTT and hard to take seriously.

Why?

[(Anonymous)]

It's the most recent version. If someone brought up Wonder Woman, I would assume they meant Gal Gadot's version, unless they said something to indicate otherwise.

Re: Why?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes but in that example you're talking about a movie that a lot of people saw vs a show not many alive today have watched. The opposite is true for Hannibal Lecter; literally three generations have now seen Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal but only a few million people ever watched the TV show. It seems perfectly natural to me that people would think of the most popular incarnation. I can honestly say I don't know anyone who would assume someone was talking about Mads and I have two friends who were active in the fandom.

Re: Why?

[(Anonymous)]

Now ask yourself: fandom is populated with teens and young adults, so which one are they more familiar with, old movies no one talks about anymore or a tv show that was Tumblr's fave?

[(Anonymous)]

I adore the guy, but in The Hunt or A Royal Affair. Is his turn as Hannibal worth investigating.
