By far my favorite GTA character since my first play through on the 360. They really hit the nail on franklins story of being a street dude tryna get some money n do what he thinks right for his family 💯🙏🏼

[@KNOBLES123]

Facts franklin the best trev 2nd tho fuck michael lol

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Nahhh, hell no, franklin wasnt good imo... His the worst in my opinion, not counting Claude... Lamar is the person who made Franklin kinda likeable... The best Protagonist in gta v is Trevor, no doubt, everything GTA revolves around him, his a meth head, meth dealer, seriel killer, murder, psychotic mother fucked, he represents all things gta

[@saintfreezy6914]

Nah that’s Carl Johnson. Franklin is the watered down CJ

[@CosmicHarmony58]

Inspirational story from a rough background. People like Shawn prove ANYONE from ANYWHERE can make it.

[@waynebevans319]

Reality is most of the good has similar stories. The problem is people don't have a genuine care or compassion for people who have to grow up in the hood and instead just judge them without the love. Lot of fatherless and motherless kids in a drug, crime and corruption infested world. I'm surprised that he ACTUALLY lived his own GTA story. WOW... 🤯

[@hayro252]

​@@waynebevans319I kinda think Ned (Michael's actor) is lowkey being a father-figure to him especially when it comes to passing down the knowledge of the acting career.

[@waynebevans319]

@@hayro252 Yeah, I get that as a plot device. But, what's irritating to me is how they watered down🌊, Franklin to make Trevor seem more threatening. 🙄 In reality Franklin would NOT have been intimidated by some meth-headed, asshole making threats. They would've BEEN had their "square-up"moment, but Rockstar made it that the black character would be more tame, to make Trevor look more like "the monster. Frankly, THAT is utter bullshit.We should've seen all three of them at each other's throats at times. But, like Lamar said, we get a "Yes, sir. No, sir. We okay, boss", Carlton Banks version of an LA hood gangster. Even Solo IN REAL LIFE is more hood than the character. His first reaction to Trevor getting in his face was to turn up right with him, OH but Rockstar... 🙄🙄🙄🤣
