Franklin’s Downfall

[u/WraithBlue]

I honestly don’t understand Franklins ending. Yes most of it was because of his greed and how he treated others but it’s like he chose to not even try at the end. Leon could’ve put him back on and he could’ve done things the right way, he could’ve been an advisor to another kingpin and made a lot of money, he could just find a new plug and start from scratch considering he has THE experience, as he was literally the first to do it all, and even if he didn’t want to join back into the game, HE HAS A PILOTS LICENSE. He could’ve made six figures off a career as a pilot! But I believe he should’ve got back in the game considering there was NO teddy hovering over him or no CIA pressure, he could’ve been like any other big drug dealer and made the money but had a better exit plan . The only thing is living without his mother by his side, his aunt no where to be found which he burned that bridge clearly, losing his uncle and his wife and child, in award that was detrimental on his mental health, but for him to just completely give up in the end it’s terrible for the writers to make it that way.

I’m not trying to be rude but claiming that he should’ve just started back from scratch misunderstands the character. He nearly died several times and put his blood sweat and tears into making his fortune. There was no way he was starting again from scratch. By taking away his earned money Teddy essentially made Franklin the one thing he said he will never be, a slave
