Official Snowfall Season 6 Thread

because he handled prior stressful situations more soundly

skully and manboy tryna kill him at the same time
andre searching his crib
mel shooting him
accidentally killing kevin
teddy tryna kill his father

never turned to a drink. with how methodical franklin was, the more realistic thing is that he scrambles the cash he still has and try to pull together about $3 mill and brainstorm. yes, he’d still be depressed but becoming a homeless alcoholic is farfetched and forced as a way to make it full circle with his father which is viewed by some as a cheap trope

Those situations were never as dire as this, for him tho

It’s not tho. The thing driving the alcohol was his irrational addiction to chasing that $73M high. Frank bushed every single thing wanting to get that money in an attempt to keep his name and stake in that high rise. The alcohol became more and more of a crutch the deeper he buried himself financially and the more he realized he wasn’t ever getting back to the top of the mountain. Frank was long gone soon as he robbed his uncle and been in descent all season

This is a terrible take, not sure why you even reposted it

 

[Bathing Ape]

We all figured this already but Gail bean leaked the fact Leon will be in the spinoff

 

[Ciggavelli]

While I can definitely relate to succumbing to an addiction after losing everything, I didn't like the ending. This man killed countless people, and not one of them stuck ?

He shoulda ended up in jail like his mother, if this show was realistic. Him going out like his dad was sad. Maybe he'll overcome his drinking in the future, like his dad.

All in all, I liked the season, but didn't like the ending.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Man wtf are these people talking. Some people have terrible opinions for no reason.

It’s the hard truth. Majority of drug dealers do not get a happy ending. Dead, locked up or broke

That still doesn't make the ending good. It was a terribly written and executed ending.

He biased, he a former drug dealer who made it out

Right, also all that stuff dude listed Franklin probably thought the 73M was a payoff for all the shyt he went through. Now all that stuff you did was for nothing. All the killing, losses, poison you spread to the community. I also think ppl are overestimating Franklin's "hustling" and smarts. Franklin lucked up on the CIA plug. He was getting punked by Karvel/Ray Ray a the start. Teddy also guided him a lot and took care of a bunch of his fukkups. IIRC Teddy was kicking Franklin game about the drug game too, along with Avi. Franklin also used Teddy to take out the competition. The real estate shyt, I think Cissy put him on?

Frank got the absolute worst luck OAT with women.

I also don't buy Peaches and the junkies smoking through 5M's.

Nah, V was all on him. She was riding for him until he put his hands on her.

If it's one thing I didnt like about the finale is the stuff with V felt forced to make her leave with the money. Him talking wreckless to her about the sell? Sure. But strangling her? nah.

 

[Harry Sax]

Of course it was unrealistic , with how Franklin has been written for the past 6 seasons he would never just suddenly take a drink.


That would be like Teddy suddenly becoming a drug addict when he got fired from the CIA which was his entire world


It's one thing if the show over the course of the season maybe had Franklin being tempted or showed him leaning for a vice, instead here it's he see's a drink and just has it. One of the most forced scenes I've seen. Timeline wise it didn't even make sense. Breh had a whole a KGB agent he was talking about trading and using as a negotiation tactic 5 minutes prior to running into that bar but then forgets about him

Fool…Franklin was good as long as he had money…it shows that’s what he cared for the most…it was his lively hood, look at all the blood sweat tears and people he lost behind it…and that’s a lot of fukkin money

And his mom crashed all the way the fukk out and is finna do the rest of her life on Alcatraz

I’m sure those 2 things, especially the first, drove him to drink

The money triggered endorphins in him that nothing else could…until he couldn’t get his fix and moved on to something else…alcohol…And it triggered them endorphins…his dad was an addict, he has the addictive gene

 

[head shots101]

Franklin had an addictive personality, so when his one addiction was taken from him, he replaced it with another one.

Bingo

 

[Crack Daniels]

The idea that “franklin would never become an alcoholic, it was never in his character” is ridiculous because neither was becoming a heartless killer…and yet after a few seasons

Everyone has a breaking point. After all the shyt he been through over the years culminating in the death of his uncle (which brought him guilt), his mom going to jail for life, and literally everyone he cared about being gone, it makes a whole lot of fukking sense that he’d do some uncharacteristic shyt like turn to the bottle.

Imagine how muhfukkas at the liquor store gonna look at Franklin when he tells the story about him and a Mexican wrestler escaping from a tiger's cage.

Or that he was in a war with a black ops CIA agent that the CIA killed his father and that he kidnapped a Russian spy and delivered them back to the CIA. They gonna think he schizophrenic

 

[KalKal]

One thing I wish that they'd done differently was letting the locksmith live. It was a pointless death and $12K (the very amount that Avi wanted for that first brick) was all but worthless at that time (since he wasn't in his right mind; Leon would've made it work somehow). I understand killing the white guy out of panic, but there was just no use killing the Mexican. It would've been nice if Franklin had just let him go with the money just to show that there was still a tiny piece of humanity in him still.

I guess he figured he needed to "frame" someone by making it look like the locksmith was the mastermind behind trying to crack the safe

It was cheap.

Franklin would never just suddenly take a drink.

People don’t hate the ending because it wasnt a happy ending

They hate the ending because they forcingly made him an alcoholic out of nowhere

It only SEEMED sudden....but the last scene was three full years since we last saw Franklin.
Three years is a LONG time. I'm sure he didn't just "suddenly" become a full blown bum. He probably slowly deteriorated over the years...the episode was depressing enough as it was, we didn't really need to see a montage of him drinking more, and more, and more over 36 months.

Makes you wonder about wild stories you've heard from bums/crackheads in real life.

I think that was the point unfortunately. He had none left. If Leon didn't have 20 soldiers around him, Franklin would've killed him

Franklin didn't show any semblance of a soul until he told Leon he was proud of him and walked off. Didn't beg to be saved. Respected Lee enough to keep his darkness away from him even though Lee wanted to help. Some might call it Franklin being proud but, I see it as Franklin seeing Leon happy and doing the best thing he could do for him which is to stay far away. Such an amazing ending
