There were like five different episodes that had Satan in them so I stand by my guess
Mads Mikkelsen is great but I just... I have zero interest in Hannibal

Sell me on it
Aesthetically speaking, its probably the greatest show ever produced.
Every single aspect of the show: lighting, sound design, wardrobe, ect... is a deliberate choice and they speak both loudly & beautifully.
It is a show so deeply invested in its characters and the story its telling that they'll sometimes end an episode with two people have a simple (but incredibly poetic) chat.
Lastly...
"Draw me like one of your french girls."

In the 19th century, the publication of Goethe’s Mephistopholes in Faust and Mark Twain’s Mysterious Stranger influenced artists to portray Satan as much more of "a sly, cunning, dandyish type of figure," as Barryte says. "Instead of scaring people into sin and intimidating them, he now uses persuasion." And he has to look appropriate for the part: more weasely than bestial. In the exhibit, this trickster side of Satan is seen in a bronze statue depicting him as Mephistopholes, by the artist Ude.

Tricksters are way more interesting than brutes and, quite frankly coersion makes for better moral lessons than being basically forced to do bad things.

"There’s a part of his personality that was under mind control, and he murdered a lot of people. So he’s got a very complicated history. Who is that person? How does that character move forward? He’s not Bucky Barnes anymore. He’s not the Winter Soldier anymore. He’s something inbetween.”
Next, we see an old – but largely-forgotten face – enter the scene: William Hurt as General Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, nemesis of Bruce Banner and last seen in the neglected stepchild of the MCU, 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. “The job is to tie all these films together,” says Joe Russo. “To be able to pull from The Hulk, which may have been forgotten about a little bit, and make it relevant again within the cinematic universe, is important to us.”
“The Accords are the world jointly trying to govern the Avengers moving forward,” continues Joe Russo. “It has to do with the effects of Ultron and Sokovia [the small city that Ultron tried to drop on the Earth from a great height at the end of Age Of Ultron], and New York City [roundly trashed at the end of The Avengers], and Washington D.C. [nearly devastated by falling helicarriers at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier]. Examining the third acts of all the Marvel movies, we’re saying, if you could point to the collateral damage in all those incidents, could you use that against the Avengers to control them?”
“He’s deepening his relationship with Cap,” says Joe Russo. “It’s Falcon, Cap and Bucky – how is that dynamic going to work going forward? How does he feel about Bucky? How does it alter his relationship with Cap if Winter Soldier comes back into the picture?”
And now the crucial line of the trailer: Tony Stark, the first hero of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the man who bankrolled the Avengers, looking as upset as we’ve ever seen him, replies: “so was I”. And, from this line on, it seems that there may be no way back for the two superfriends. “The theme of the movie is betrayal and it’s a very powerful theme,” reveals Joe Russo. “The movie’s extremely emotional. It hinges on that emotion, and on a very personal level we didn’t want the movie to become about politics and people arguing about platitudes. The third act is built around a very personal moment between these characters.”
I think Hannibal is less about him being sexy and more that Zonugal thinks he's super sexy
Well probably but even I can tell from advertising or the odd clip that he's definitely supposed to be kinda glamorous
The suits, the apartment, the general sense of refinement and culture
Plus the fact that I already know the general direction and ending of the series
That Will finally gives in to his murderous impulses and they embrace and fall to their death together
It all seems to romanticize it a little too much
That is absolutely not the general direction and ending of the series.

Well, putting aside that my spoiler is a factual description of events
If this is the best pitch for the show:
I remember Bryan Fuller once saying the show is a parable about the "the darkest angel seducing the purest man," which I think is the best description of the show
I mean "Satan in a suit" is really just an extension of the idea that Lucifer should be a beautiful being, which dates back to Paradise Lost at least
Doesn't Lucifer mean "shining one"?
It's been in the pitch from the word go.
Long story short Lucifer being another name for Satan, and Satan being a name or singular being rather than a description or title, is only as old as the King James Bible. They translated the words for "the adversary" to mean a specific person rather than a non-proper noun.

Your spoiler is not an accurate description of the events of the show.
And avoiding spoilers as much as possible, I would say that pitch is only partially accurate.
I really want to emphasize that the show is not about romanticizing or glamorizing Hannibal at all and also that I consider it possibly the single best drama to ever air on broadcast television.

I think we all watched Daredevil, thank you.
Lucifer referring to 'shining one' or 'morning star' or 'bringing of the dawn' or 'brightest star' refers to the planet Venus

My favorite bits:
That would be an autoimmune disease. You don't want that.
Most of what you could say about Satan dates back to Paradise Lost.
They talk about Zemo for like one paragraph. I'm hoping it's just a fakeout.

I hope there's a third party though
I want cap and Tony to be OK and friends again by the end
"Ride or Die" confirmed Dominic Toretto, as they took off to find the Dragon Balls in hopes of reviving their friend Sonic
There's a billion things that could happen in the MCU between now and Infinity War and we don't know the landscape of the team when that movie starts
If I was to buy one Captain America trade, which one should I get?
But the Winter Soldier volume that contains the first...12-16 (I think?) issues of Brubaker's run would also be an excellent choice
Brubaker's Winter Soldier/Death of Captain America omnibus
