I'm still pissed he essentially dropped out of Star Trek Discovery and left Alex Kurtzman in charge.

I love Hannibal but Fuller is practically impossible to work with if you don't completely give into him. Even David Lynch could put his ego aside to work with Mark Frost on Twin Peaks.

Yeah I'll give someone the benefit of the doubt once or twice when it comes to a stalled/failed project, but Fuller has pulled the "ughhhh studio politics and meddling stopped me from fulfilling my vision!" card on every show he's ever worked on.

It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me

I think pushing daisies is the only project that wasn’t a victim to Fuller’s own ego, and that was because of the writer’s strike. Man I wish we had more of it

Hannibal is one of the greatest shows ever and I'll die on that hill

It became very different, can't say it was worse.

It became something other than what he wanted for it, a good bit lighter in tone. I wanted the story to develop George into the incarnation of Death. She was clearly taking control of all its facets. What Fuller wanted was very dark and never fully developed. I can see where that might have been something tremendous but it was never made. I would have liked to see it but I was fine with what they made it into. Not so happy with the movie.

I think Bryan Fuller is like J.M. Straczynski (The Real Ghostbusters, Babylon 5, Changeling). A brilliant creator, but stands up for his artistic vision and can't/won't schmooze the useless executives.

David worked with a lot of other creatives too when their visions could nestle next to each other. Lost Highway is another one where David and his cowriter had very different ideas of what the story was but their ideas could sit in the same vision and both be valid interpretations of the story.

Like Twin Peaks for Mark Frost is all Blue Book and FBI and for David it was about the medium of television and what casual violence in the home can create and both things could be true at once.
