i think that clearly means its less interesting
I thought it made it very interesting but if you didn't that's your opinion and that doesn't make you wrong its just the way you viewed the show and I think that's what separates who liked the show and who was disappointed .....
to me I really enjoyed the characters that WH and MM played and their story, but I also thought the storyline they were investigating was good , I thought enough was answered and even though a lot was left unanswered i was ok with that...

Ultimately, the story was about Rust and Marty.
then why did it take 8 episodes?

It is fun to watch you contentiously speak for the "vast majority". Most people seemed to enjoy it.
because they have internally moved the goalposts of expectations. as i said before, it's been fantastic to watch it in real time
when i first started talking about the ending being underwhelming, people called me a troll. then they continued to post theories about the plot/mystery. if they completely change their expectations 3-4 weeks later, then their internal hypocrisy/conflict is on them...not me

You guys realize that the yellow king was the big stick figure in carcosa, right?
the only thing they really left unsolved was the identity of all 5 masked men.

the cult was the story. ... objectively, it was the only truly interesting angle
Only if that's what you chose to see in it. I loved watching Marty and Rust do their thing. The writer said many times the show was about them, not the killer.

that's all the vast majority of anybody cared about.
How is that important to anything? Why does my/your interpretation/enjoyment depend on those people?

Only after he was retired and suspected the cops of being corrupt and possibly in on the whole conspiracy.

i saw no people posting a month ago proclaiming all they cared about was watching rust and marty become friends
literally 0 people
i saw hundreds post religiously about the cult and mystery (on here and reddit)

The fricking story moved.
I don't think moving the goalposts is an apt metaphor.

who they were

why did they kill 2 publicly?

I was not expecting anything supernatural. I enjoyed the show for the most part. Hannibal is the best crime show on tv right now though.

and you're basically agreeing with me. rust was a vessel to insert "cool" t
No. To insert "interesting".
Because he was. Marty and Rust were the most interesting part of the show. To me.
We can agree to disagree, but I loved the scene of Marty in the wheelchair when Rust woke up. One of my favorite scenes of the series.
You were more interested in the cult and the case, and that's fine. I watched it differently. That's also fine.

i bet i can find you posting aobut the plot/mystery in prior threads. why was it important to you then? why isn't it now?

Can people not enjoy both the detective relationship and the mystery?

sure
i'd hope their post history suggests an equal amount of interest/discussion from the start until today, though

To set the scene and show the struggle. To tell the story. To give the story texture.

Yeah...I demand consistency,
