Hmm… I get it but at the same time Hannibal is a real name of a real historical character. He was a Carthagian general and apparently a military genius. He is the guy who took the elephants across the Alps. Which actually makes it an interesting question whether the psychopath mastermind that the fictional Hannibal is was supposed to reflect the military genius of the real Hannibal. You know, in the sense that both think of what they do as just pawns on a chessboard because they're good strategists.
far as i know, having consumed 80% of all media there is on hannibal the cannibal, the only way he'd have anything to do with military or elephants would be shooting an elephant with a rifle and then making it into a fancy dish with a long french name. :S
Scary guy, I tell you
