Re: Horror genre rant with major Hannibal spoilers

I won't argue that it was shitty writing at parts, but about the third point... we've been getting loving shots of decomposed bodies with all manner of things growing on them. It was just a matter of time until one of the main characters was presented in such a way. I don't think you can call something distasteful if you already knew you were watching a show about a cannibal.

Again, I have to preface this with the caveat that I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the episode yet, but this is what a friend told me when I asked about it... "What Hannibal did with Beverly was strangle her, put her into the freezer, then cut her up for display." Considering in the original Green Lantern cartoon that started the term "fridging", the villain killed GL's girlfriend, cut her up, and displayed her in a refrigerator, it is too close for me to feel comfortable with. As Beverly's death is arguably fridging, I don't think that was the best death to present like that.

I could see if this was the only unusual death display on the show but this is one of many. From skinless "angels", to turning people into musical instruments, turning them into "paintings" to Columbian "neckties". Not to mention all the displays of victims dressed up as meals on Hannibal's plates.

It would be odd for Hannibal not to display her body in any way. To simply dump her body in a field or make her disappear completely. (For Abigail to vanish is part of the plot and it makes sense. For Katz to vanish. It would be OOC.)

1. The last agent who discovered him was Miriam. She disappeared completely, so there is precedence.

2. It wasn't even Beverly being displayed that I had the issue with. If she had been impaled on antlers, or hung from the ceiling, or whatever, I would have had less of an issue with it than with the use of a freezer. As I said, it is just too close to the fridging trope (which, arguably, Beverly was) for me to feel comfortable with it.
