They Live (1988)

[thehannibalextendeduniverse]

Watching Hannibal (as I spend most of my time doing) and I was on the season 3 finale and I just kept thinking about how people who deny they lived exist and somehow think they're correct. Which, no. So here's a little rant disproving that.

I need to talk about the post-credits finale scene. I’m sorry but the people who say Will and Hannibal died and Bedelia cut off her own leg are just objectively wrong. Of course there’s a lot in Hannibal with multiple meanings that you can interpret, but Will and Hannibal surviving is an undeniable fact, just like them being in love is. The people who adamantly deny it just piss me off because, did we watch the same show??? Or are you just that media illiterate. The show itself gives us the pieces to put it together.

From Hannibal calling suicide the enemy, hinting that he wouldn’t let them die to it, to the table being set for three. Bedelia did not go crazy, cut off her own leg, and serve it like Hannibal would. Hannibal and Will did that. It’s such an important scene because, well, they go after Bedelia — Will keeps his ‘promise’ to her and put “meat back on the menu”. It shows they both lived and are working together, that they are partners. Hannibal is clearly following Will’s direction and his desire to get back at Bedelia, so that’s what they do (again, Hannibal’s devotion to Will).

Bedelia grabs the fork and conceals it, a weapon for her to use — because Will and Hannibal are still there and she’s trying her best to not go out without a fight/to somehow get out of it. Even the song says “I will survive, live and thrive” (referencing Will and Hannibal, as well as, when focused on Bedelia, her desire to survive them). It is spelled out for everyone to see. There is literally no excuse for not reaching the logical conclusion that Will and Hannibal survived and are happily living together somewhere.

Even if you ignore what the show hands to you on a silver platter, there was going to be a season four. What the fuck do Hannigram survival deniers think s4 was going to be about? Their ghosts?

Also, it does not take that much effort to find the interview where Bryan is asked about what he thinks of people interpreting it as Will and Hannibal dying and him laughing at it and confirming they lived. So. No excuse. Hannigram survived. For the love of god, stop claiming they’re dead when they’re so obviously not.

They Live Ch. 2: Pretend We're Dead

In which Rachel does more paperwork, Jake refrains from making death threats, and Tom probably violates the Geneva Convention by using a CVS receipt as a weapon.
