Isiah John, the actor that played Leon said that in an interview on how he was cast for his role.
at someone being too smart to become
They don't live in the real world. I have a genius grandfather who drank a bottle of vodka every night and damaged his motor coordination as a result. Addiction dodges NO ONE. Nobody is too good to fall to it.at someone being too smart to become an alcoholic.
Right and this is what I'm talking about. That's the polar opposite of a functional alcoholic. Alcohol is a natural depressant in itself. But for some people it makes them feel happy. I was always happy when I was drinking. Not sad when I didn't, but just wasn't near as happy and my attitude could be shytty if I didn't get that drank.That just reminded me of my dad's friend. He was an engineer just like my dad. He would alwayss bring his kids over and we would play all day.
Man got laid off and just fell into deep depression and became an alcoholic.
Wife divorced him eventually and he was on the streets homeless.
Last my dad heard he was back at his mom dying from cancer in the liver probably from the liquor
She would have been horribleLauren can’t act at all

It's correct that Franklin wasn't crazy. But money was his addiction and his behavior and the reason why he lost it all is a classic example of a compulsive gambler. Addiction can be of anything and for Franklin it was the high of getting a huge lump sum of cash like you would from a casino. But once he crapped out, he needed to chase that money and risked it all in hopes to get that jackpot.
@Houston911 do you know if we can get anymore official smilies?Time to replace that smiley with Frank
You can tell what type of viewers of these shows love bullshyt like Power.They are surface level thinkers and can’t see the forest for the trees.
They wanted Mel or peaches to come in the last scene after Franklin got his 72 million and get Justice neno brown style.
Dude, people become addicts "out of nowhere" all the time
Now, imagine that in a few years, you kill your best friend, go to jail, get shot by your girlfriend after killing her father, go to war with your auntie & uncle, have your father murdered by your boss, AND lose the equivalent of $200 million AND your girlfriend runs away with the last of your money.
Let's call it out for what it is,
They were scared to fully villainize Franklin.
If they had him do what he did without the alcohol element viewers would have wanted the character dead at the end and a "sad/tragic ending" would not have worked or even made logical sense.
And it's why the whole sudden alcohol element was cheap because the show setting up for Franklin from the start of season 5 to turn on his closest ones WILLINGLY but the show then abandoned that in the last episode.
She did take all his liquid cash, bruh.She didnt take it all, he had millions in the spring street property that he couldve sold.
It made sense what she did. He put his hands on her about the spring st property. So she put him in a position to be forced to sell the property anyway.
He was just stupid as hell to not sell it. Instead of selling the property immediately when he found out what V did, he just let the bank take it when payments became due.
It wasn't "sudden"I've already explained this breh
Finally watched it.
Miguel had 3 kids man
I knew this was how it was gonna end they foreshadowed it the whole season with him fiening for that money.
He should have sold the property found a connect and sold to skully.
