#hannibal reunion c2e2

Hugh’s reaction to when people kept cheering when they mentioned being covered in blood is so funny

[thefabledcannibals]

To recap:

Hugh's favorite line is, "Is your social worker in that horse?"

Mads favorite line is, "Nothing here is vegetarian"

I'm foaming at the mouth IT'S TIME!

I think the thing that I've taken away from this panel is that it's okay if you don't like your work because there are people who will love it.

And I didn't take that away because there was any implication that Hugh or Mads disliked the work they did on Hannibal but because they so obviously loved it but even they couldn't remember all the details of the things they loved. Hugh wouldn't stop talking about S1EP2 Amuse-Bouche but he could not for the life of him remember Eldon Stammets' name, and Mads and Hugh had to be reminded of Donald Sutcliffe's name.

And those details of the panel stood out to me because it's like wow I may forget about something I've written or recorded or drawn, but someone somewhere out there, even if it's just one person, probably loved what I made even more than I did and they might've committed parts of my work to memory that I've completely forgotten about or thought were insignificant.

I guess the panel just reminded me how thankful I am for fandom spaces and the fannibal community and just generally people who are kind and uplifting and share what they love with each other.

We didn’t get a S4 announcement, but you know what the absolute best thing about today’s C2E2 Hannibal panel truly was? 

For almost the first time since the show ended, Fannibals showed how profitable Hannibal can still be. 

C2E2 sold out of their remaining VIP ticket packages with guaranteed panel seating within 48 hours of the reunion announcement. Paid PopVerse subscriptions to stream the panel spiked with previously untapped demos (if socials are anything to go by). The largest event hall at C2E2 was overcapacity 45 minutes before the panel; while that’s normal for cons like SDCC and NYCC, in my experience that’s less common at C2E2.

Not to mention Mads and Hugh making bank with autograph and photo-op sales; a huge component of drawing in good talent to table at cons as well, making sure they make enough over the weekend to justify their presence beyond panel appearances. From a talent booking/event management perspective, this is the absolute dream scenario.

So, here’s the super fun part: ReedPop, the company that owns C2E2, also owns/operates New York Comic Con (NYCC), one of the highest-profile US entertainment conventions after San Diego Comic-Con. Now that ReedPop is aware of the viability of Hannibal programming, it would be extremely surprising if RP didn’t attempt a run at a larger, proper reunion panel at NYCC.

Honestly, great job, team. 2024 could very well be the year we get real buzz going again!

I'm not team "announce season 4" or team "never make a season 4"

I'm team "this panel is going to make me throw up"

Can I get a hell yeah from all my nervous autistic friends who become overwhelmed by things they like

I can't be at C2E2, but to celebrate the Hannibal Reunion 2024, have a little Will Graham - I always want to cuddle him when I see this scene! Poor baby!

I hope you like it! <:

HANNIBAL REUNION at C2E2 post time! ❤️ I don’t know what all I can say that hasn’t been said already by hundreds of screaming Fannibals but, man, what an absolutely surreal experience. It was just amazing to see Mads and Hugh together again!

Everyone else has already shared much better photos and clip moments but here are a few of mine!

Alas I didn’t capture the hug. I didn’t want to take too many photos as I wanted to experience the moment more than I wanted to see it through the lense of a phone. I wanted to just take it in, and enjoy it. I’m so happy I got to experience it with so many fannibal friends. ❤️

I’ll be making a huge diary/post reblog thread here of my experience!
