Man, I just hate how they turned Franklin into a dummy. U realize the lengths the US government went to fight communism? Franklin had a kgb agent. That dude was at least worth the 3mil Franklin wanted from Leon.

And they had the account numbers from Teddy. They coulda seized that money. He didn't have to go out like dat
They wanted to make it realistic, which they did. But I wanted "the only on tv" ending. :pachaha: I've only seen one show with Taye Diggs where the drug dealer got away had a good life. Can't remember the show it was cancelled after one season.

It also wanted to show karma. Franklin did a lot of dirt, even to his own family. The ending is somewhat fitting after all the killing and scheming he did. Left with nothing, a drunk like his old man. He lost his mind also. It's like living in a jail, but you are free when that happens.

This shyt put the dagger in the black community. I remember as a kid in Miami seeing dope boys on top of the world. Houses, cars. Then as a teenager, some of them homeless and cracked out.

It would be more realistic for him to die or go to jail. He wouldn't lose his intellect after he just tortured a cia agent to get his money back. He shoulda been taping everything he did to Teddy and taping his convo. He coulda held that over their head. Point is the cia can definitely go and get their money and broke Franklin off. He shoulda threatened off himself and the kgb agent unless money was deposited into an account

Either way is realistic. Death and jail is definitely more common. But homeless broke and crazy has happened. I've seen it. shyt is scary and depressing. I couldn't even recognize them when I first saw them.

I think they did it this way as a lesson to be learned from doing so much dirt and the karma that comes after. That if you aren't dead or jail, you're living in a personal hell for the rest of your life

shyt I think dead or in jail is actually better than that life.:yeshrug:

Those only seem like the logical endings because that's what people been preaching forever "you gonna end up in jail or dead", they really don't often talk about how some of these nikkas simply turn out to be bums. And some of them weren't dumb MFs, they were smart. They can tell you about all kinda shyt and they know exactly what they're talkin' about, and it makes you wonder why they ain't applying this knowledge to improve their lives somehow, but they've given up already. They don't wanna apply shyt, they're broken and poor. It would have been a logical ending for him to end up in jail or dead as well, but also a cliche ending. I think folks really are underestimating how many homeless/drunk/drug-addicted people are out there who used to have some shyt going for them in life.

Yeah there is a huge misconception that all of them were dumb or in the streets.


shyt like this happened to people who weren't in the street. You can tell they are articulate and you're like how is this mofo bum? Then you hear how crazy their life was:wow:

Lots of people here complaining about Franklin becoming an alcoholic and that being absurd and he wouldn’t do such a thing. Trust me, it was a sad way to go out. But once he took that many bodies (especially the innocent Mexican at the end) and you’ve lost 73 MILLION, is it really that farfetched? Do you know how many people would hit the bottle or do something fukked up losing 73k? People commit suicide and all sorts of irrational things.

This was his way of killings himself

Word. There are stockbrokers in Wall Street that have committed suicide for losing that much in one day at the stock market.

The most Hollywood cliche endings for gangsta movies and shows is that they are killed or go to jail. And even though that's real life, what's also real life is that criminal that was doing it big time have these huge falloffs. For Franklin it is only fitting. We ALREADY SEEN HIM technically "die" when Melody shot him, and he was under a coma for several months. We ALREADY SEEN HIM go to jail and deal with that. There's no reason to repeat that as the climax. What we did not see him was him to completely fall-off. And it's a perfect bookend to his life in becoming to the very thing he once hated which was his father. They cleverly addressed how generational curses and trauma is passed down, how the homelessness become the homeless, how there's different types of addiction to which Franklin was actually was a victim of not just alcoholism but what Vegas Casinos view as compulsive gambling due to his obsession of chasing the money and losing his entire wealth due to it.

You can say he should of, could of, would have done this, that or the third, but any ADDICT of any form do not think through logic. There were so many people in his life that was trying to reason with him logically, but he refused to listen. He was tunnel vision trying to get that jackpot despite still having millions and a net worth of hundreds of millions through the assets he had with his LEGAL MONEY. He was free-falling since season 5.

Again, from another podcast. Did Franklin spiral prove that Teddy did make him? Was Franklin "Dame Dash" and Teddy "Jay Z"?
This reference doesn't even make sense. Teddy was a slum POS drug dealer from the CIA who used Frank to push crack in black neighborhood to fund a war.

It had nothing to do with "making" him. But all about manipulation to make sure he didn't get caught. He didn't tell him about real estate because liked him. Making clean money helps wash dirty money. Leading to less likely getting caught.

The goal was just to fund the war. Intentionally pushing it in black neighborhoods to destroy it was a bonus.

They helped 'make' and 'Un-make' EACH OTHER.

Yeah,I dont think people are factoring in he apparantly has some mental illness as well. If everybody is saying hes NOT on crack. Theres no way alchohol did that to his teeth unless he just stopped brushing soon after he realized Peaches safe was empty 3 years ago imo:scust:. And outside of a psychotic break,I dont see Franklin just immediately giving up.
Schyzphrenics are often observed to have very poor hygiene,and dirty appearance. Its just hard to say for certain,because the things hes telling Leon about people bugging his phone,following him all are very possible based on what he was involved in.

Him having a psychotic break would explain why he wasnt able to make anything of the money he did have left. He certainly had been through enough trauma in a short period,couldnt blame em if he did lose his mind.


But they never definitively tell you hes crazy. I like how all of his rantings would sound like that of a paranoid crazy person. If we hadnt just watched the show and saw it actually happened to him. Makes you wonder about all those people who used to ramble to me on the bus who I assumed were just "crazy",and making shyt up:heh:
