Yep. I totally wanted the ending to be the two main ladies making out.
Now that would have been an interesting twist.
Also, Bryan Fuller previously said some really great things about how he choose to race and gender bend because otherwise the world started to look like it was made up of only white men, and was really gracious about Hannibal/Will shipping, and said the he loved that the show had been embraced by a lot of smart, articulate women.... and them BOOM, Beverly dies, and he's spewing all this grossness about how she was always slated to die and her death is all about Will and Hannibal.
And the white dude serially killing people thing; originally, Hannibal ate "the rude" but had a lot of respect for smart, clever people (Clarice in particular). It's highly unlikely Hannibal of the films would have killed Beverly or the FBI trainee or ESPECIALLY Abigail (who was in his charge) when these were all smart, respectful women whose only crime was being clever.
Oh God, now this just makes me even more outraged on behalf of the fandom.
White male creators need to learn that sometimes they are wrong about these things and shouldn't go to great lengths to insult/undermine their audience when society does that already. It's not enough just to include ladies/poc/etc. anymore. I think people like Bryan Fuller would really benefit from taking an English Literature class or two and learning about how certain creatives choices are a) boring b) super problematic because their privilege is clearly making them blind to how their creative choices affect the people they're trying to be 'respectful' towards.
People wonder why fandom no longer trusts white, male creators to respect their source material and/or audience, but they've proven time and time again that they will let their egos get in the way of good/progressive storytelling.
I'm sorry that turned into a rant but I experience so much second hand embarrassment for these people and how they conduct themselves in public.
