Hannibal is def not a character we should care about tho; they set him up to be an untrustworthy asshole from the start, which would've been resolved only by a twist whereby he proves himself trustworthy and thus redeemed, therefore someone we can respect, OR he meets his comeuppance, and we def got the latter. He was a "just for gags" type character except without the emotional investment one might have in the NerdBros.
