A lot of people are not taking into account what making and losing $73m can do to a person. Never mind what $73m today means, $73m in 1986 is worth about $200m today. He lost generational wealth, he lost power and control. He had been manic and spiraling all season.

Even Leon’s $3m is worth about $8m today.

Imma have to run back those fist three seasons.. I’m missing some things .. probly because I binged those seasons in 2 weeks

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

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

People can't think critically.

Boy stop

So they weren't all eating when Frankliyn was running the show? He didn't put them on? Also the white man didn't divide and conquer them? Teddy had them all fukked up and beefing with eachother. I hate him and Louie but that's not to absolve any blame from Franklin either.

But a good person aint stealing a million dollars that dont belong to them. Franklin aint shyt,but she aint shyt either

Facts

Goes back to Franklin’s decision making. Didn’t set up any backup accounts. No stash houses with cash. Didn’t take the buyout offer from Q from the Chi. Got a scammer pregnant when there were tons of women out there. Then put hands on her. Regardless of what Cissy did, Franklin had many chances to get right. And it’s all believable to me. I had setbacks in life and it takes a while for you to let go of what you had and focus on what’s available for you right now. Franklin didn’t want to humble himself.

This is facts too he was too short sighted and didn't handle that money well at all. Just had his mom and his thieving ass girlfriend handle it.

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

Your missing one thing. In those dire situations,he still had his family and best friend to help him cope. Not to mention trump card Teddy,made situations seem less dire im sure.



Plus he did have his moments,but he usually held it together for his families sake. Because they saw him as the leader.


The loss of the 72 million almost immediately drove him to madness. Him being prepared to shoot Louie(his auntee and uncles wife) was an impulsive out of character move.



"Never get to greedy,then they know your weakness. Then you lose your advantage,keep the advantage my friend"-Avi


Avi was right,Franklins greed not only exposed his weakness Teddy could exploit. But it also exposed his weakness as a man. Which is why everybody up and left his greedy ass

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

Teddy cleaned out Franklin money at the end of last season and he was then betrayed by Louie and his uncle why didn’t he start drinking then ?

 

[Jazzy B.]

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 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.

I’m talking about when he was at the bar breh. Which was was the same day Cissy killed Teddy.

Yall gotta give it up. Franklin was manic/obsessed all season. And he lost EVERYTHING. What show yall been watching

If Game of Thrones wrote Dany's descent this well, D&D would still have jobs

I get it though. I think its hard to relate to that unless youve ever felt like youve lost everything. And "everything" varies from person to person. But just think about how people will lose a wife/girl and suddenly become murderous and go on shooting sprees. Or how people lose a job and become suicidal. Lose a child and turn to substance abuse. Lose all they bread and kill they mama for insurance money.



Franklin damn near lost everything literally,and suddenly. Had he killed himself I dont think people wouldve called it sudden or out of character,based on what he lost.

 

[MisterMajesty]

Yeah I think he snapped after the 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' trip.

and he definitely snapped once he killed teddys dad

his mom didnt murder the link to his money in broad day light he still had hope

 

[Still Benefited]

And the crazy part is they don’t realize he actually did win. Being a strung out alcoholic is a better fate than damn near everyone else he came across.

For people who say it wasn’t a probable fate for Franklin, they’re ignoring that his rise was just as improbable. A regular kid with no real connections to anything became worth $73 million liquid and funded a secret war in the 80s. His rise was just as legendary as his fall.

Somewhat ironically, it’s a story none of those young boys in his neighborhood would ever believe if he told them. The same way most of us would’ve never believed he’d end up a homeless drunk. But both things happened.

Then we have to look at it for TV reasons. This is way more memorable than the typical dying in a shootout, or disappearing to an island with millions of dollars, or being locked up in prison. It’s the ending the show deserved.

I agree 100%,jail was already too easy a prediction. And a Scarface ending wouldve been cliche. This ending is a thousand times more haunting. Watching these old episodes knowing how he ends up

Can anyone clarify why Louie was back at the horse stable. Were those two covering for her? I get how therapeutic it's to ride them things, but you had enough to buy all kind of horses. Them bytches cost like one rack a piece smh.

Didn't even have to get kidnapped at a spot you could've built up yourself. Why you going back to the spot they caught you slippin at in the first place? Just turn yoself in, out there cruising for a bruising on a gotdam horse. You know I sort of get it, 10 episodes vs 25 episodes in my day. Better writers and more source material to work with.

Was it the same horse stable? I assumed it was one womewhere else? But who knows,maybe its the only other friends she had. Maybe she helped them out when she had money,and thats why that older couple covered her. At least Louies doing something she loves I guess

 

[MisterMajesty]

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

People tell on themselves very often. I've, and many others have seen this story play out in real life over FAR less than what franklin went through

It was an entirely different stable.

 

[Still Benefited]

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.

Veronique doing sneaky shyt like that sticks out based on her reputation. Especially when you are in a state of paranoia. He was basically threatning her not to get any ideas. It was more of an implied strangle than a real strangle lol. Bet he wishes he wouldve choked the shyt out of her in hindsight
