I rewatched that scene on YouTube a couple of days ago, went to check the comment section and all the comments, literally every one of them were so incredibly thirsty 😆😆😆

Not sure why his shirt needs to be undone, but I’m good with that decision.

(I know, it was medical treatment)

having recently seen the episode: Gideon, original murderer, was having his chest being checked so they had opened it

it's so not sexy in the show ahah like unfortunately they show physical violence in a horror kind of way that I had forgotten exists in the show ahah too many tikt tok edits

It’s quite something the way Hugh can change the physicality of Will when Will steps into the role of the murderer he’s “empathizing” with!

From the very first episode, when Will kicks in the front door (especially noticeable on rewatch bc now you know what Will of season 1 is really like).

I don’t think I’m thinking Will is hot in those scenes bc violence is sexy or something. I think he’s hot bc when he’s suddenly the murderer, he’s confident and strong and doing something he’s highly skilled at doing. Which is sexy af.

I actually don’t find Will himself sexy at all when he’s just being himself lol.

Eta: Hugh Dancy is an attractive man. It’s Will I don’t find hot. Which is probably another testament to Hugh’s acting.

Absolutely, it’s very impressive, he basically plays two completely different characters! And yes, I agree that when he has confidence is it very hot and appeals to my competency kink haha

I take offense at that.

💀💀💀

I agree but, personally, I also find him attractive when he‘s not channelling a killer.

Fuck me, every time I see him in this scene he gets hotter.🥵🥵🥵 So messed up, but unavoidable. I just want him to step on me.😆

It’s also the ‘shhhhhh sh sh sh’ he says.☠️☠️☠️

Dat ass

Hahaha, I hadn’t heard that expression before but relatable!🥵😁

There is visibly a sexualization of the scenes in Hannibal, this is controversial for some, but it is visible in this act of pausing the scenes, especially due to the preference of the camera angle and the proposal.

The idea of ​​Will assimilating criminal behavior by imagination would ideally show either the broad scene or the situation of the victim, observed by Will, in the reconstruction of the crime, but what do we see? Will is often the one framed in curious poses, often ignoring the rest of the scene, it's fun and sometimes appealing.

For me this has two sides: 1. some of the actors have a certain appeal in roles that demand action, which is not evident in more withdrawn behaviors, a rule of these characters, like Will Graham, then Hannibal has a photographic excellence that captures this. Secondly, a psychic aspect, although the series does not clearly report this, it is a tested truth that there is a sexual appeal or connotation in most cases of crimes committed by serial killers. And this is well conveyed in several cases of the series' criminals who are not on the schizophrenic spectrum or suffering hallucinations.

Now, is there any way to deny these appealing references or even sadomasochism references in the series?

This is a great comment, thank you!

I would have agreed with you in seeing that screenshot but having watched the episode yesterday, I dunno, I can tell you that as much as I am thirsty for Hugh (he's literal beautiful perfection and sensuality in his look here), the scene was not sexy at all.

it was pure disgusting violence - meaning, the kind of violence were things are explicit and meant to give a twist to your stomach because of how explicit they are.

it actually ruined my tiktok-infected memory of the scene. the edits cut out the actual violence and thus you only see the hotness.

in the episode, the violence is so visible and revolting that it taints the sensuality.

Hey There!

I don't see how this is a contradiction.

I mentioned that some actors have a certain sexual appeal in action scenes, Hugh has that appeal. I also mentioned that there is a sexual connotation (which is different from being sexy or full of sensuality) and many crimes by serial criminals.

Finally, I said that the series has several sadomasochistic references, which are nothing more than a mix of some form of violence related to the sexual connotation of an action. As for the scenes being grotesque, of course, that's part of the idea of ​​the show.

Things that keep Hannibal awake at night.

I mean… that second picture… I mean… we are all thinking about… yea okay bye

Same

I recently saw this in my rewatch and lolled at myself because I had gotten so used to the tiktok edits that I had forgotten that his movements are part of a murder and that the show actually gives space to the gore he engages with.

it's too much for me ahah so I kept closing my eyes and basically ruined the hot sensual image I had managed to re-create via the edits.

I think you are meant to feel this way. From episode one, Will’s reenactments of murders in his head read as sadistic and sensual fantasies. He delights.

That "ssshhh" though

Where is this from
