I probably would have gotten banned because I don't think Beverly was fridged.
Fridging to me specifically means killing a female character solely for a male character's pain or character development. But uh... Bev's death was really about moving the main plot forward. It was something that needed to happen to get Jack suspicious of Hannibal.
And like... they also needed to kill a character to keep the stakes of the show high and Beverly is the obvious choice. Will and Hannibal (and Jack right now) have main character immunity. So once you remove them, you are left with the science bros who no one cares about and thus their deaths wouldn't be impactful on either the viewers or the characters OR you're left with the various female characters that make up the supporting cast. And really, Bev was the obvious choice. It makes sense for her to investigate Hannibal. Freddie could have been killed but then she's an antagonist that I think they'd like to keep around for a while. Alana could have been killed, but as a character she has more to offer the writers due to her past with both Will and Hannibal. It could have been Bella, but she's dying anyway. Or maybe Bedelia, but no one in the cast aside from Hannibal knows who she is so her death wouldn't have affected them as much.
no subject
lmao
