If your character isn't loud and obnoxious or just plain stupid...then he's boring. GTA Fandom logic<br>Tiktok really killed those last 2 braincells.

I feel like they didn鈥檛 do enough with Franklin鈥檚 story. I thought Stretch was going to be a way bigger antagonist.

Also I think Franklin is supposed to have the more neutral personality so the player can easily picture themselves as the main character

I don't think that Franklink's character is boring, HOWEVER I do believe that Micheal and Trevor have better characters than him.

Franklin was a representation of beginning level gta character. Michael was a representation of the gta character after winning the game. Trevor is the chaotic player that causes mass destruction. All three are needed to completed the story

I think Franklin is the most interesting of all 3 characters because he is more nuanced and has more backstory than most people would assume馃槄<br>Michael and Trevor are more on the extreme side of their tendencies, Michael more professional and Trevor more erratic. All 3 are great characters but more people can relate to Franklin than the other two.

For me the point in the story that i realised Lamar was an asshole was when he assumed Franklin was "supposed" to save him because they are 'homies' for life (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz82ANoctcY&t=592">9:52</a>, ignore the video speech, just the cutscene in the background) being completely ungrateful, expecting this kind of behavior from him naturally. The way he drags him back into the "hood" is very sad but develops franklin as a character so much.<br><br>For me Franklin in the true protagonist of this game.

I just discovered that during Franklins cutscenes. The cutscenes behaves as if a cameraman is on foot with the protagonist while capturing every moment. Like the show the office. And Micheal鈥檚 cutscenes are way more stable like movie studio typa videography.
