I had rather thought they were taking this to an ending that fit with the book 'verse?
They've pretty much been all over the place with taking different parts of different books and fitting it into different timelines! It sounded like Bryan Fuller had a more definite plan to adapt each book as a separate season at first, but then got more drawn in by his own canon with Hannibal and Will? Everyone kept talking about hoping to see the show's version of Silence Of The Lambs, but at this point I find it hard to see how that dynamic would play in the series when so much of it is revolving around Hannibal's connection to Will
I guess having Will become a murderer, as well, made it kind of impossible to keep him in the role of CIA/law enforcement after that
Kind of, although he could have probably sold it as being self-defence against a known serial killer (or just blamed Hannibal for it lol), even though it was more than that by the end. The whole thing was originally a trap set up by the FBI to catch Francis Dolarhyde, but he derailed their plans, and then Hannibal and Will were later attacked by him and teamed up to kill him. It wasn't full on murderer evil from Will IMO, but it was a very big deal for Hannibal because he's always been pushing Will to appreciate the artistry of killing, and then Will finally killed with him and talked about how beautiful it was :P
