GTA-King Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Anyone else think it would be interesting if Franklin grew up without a father, and then he develops a father-son relationship with Michael? Would be great, because Michael sees Franklin as the son he always wanted. What a pair they are going to make... ...teacher/student ...father/surrogate son ...retired criminal mastermind/up-and-coming criminal. Their relationship is not only going to be interesting, it's going to be very unique. Similar to the relationship in The Fox and the Hound. Walt & Jesse have a very similar relationship to Michael & Franklin. So what are you guys expecting from Michael & Franklin's relationship? Personally, I see Trevor trying to steal Franklin away from Michael so he can help him distribute his guns and crank into the hood. This will piss Michael off became not only would the drug & gun business bring heat to his heists operation, but also became Trevor is corrupting the son he always wanted. I'm sure Michael would rather Franklin be a low-key heist man like himself rather than a crazy attention seeking criminal. I have a feeling Michael will became very possessive over Franklin. And no, not in a racist way. Mother f*ckers. Edited May 17, 2013 by GTA-King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meleeman09 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I thought that was already the implied feeling between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterO Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I can see Michael acting out this father-son relationship and getting Franklin to go along with it, when in reality he's only using him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricornus Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have been thinking this as well. I would go as far as to say that Michael will end up favoring Franklin over Jimmy, and he hints at that by saying Franklin is the son he always wanted, when he already has a son. Maybe a relationship like..... Morpheus and Neo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lelouch The Zero Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah I can see why Michael would favor Franklin over Jimmy. 1. Because Jimmy is lazy 2. Jimmy does nothing but smoke pot and play Video Games and 3. He doesn't have a life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Dragonjack + Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm quite curious to see a little more on Franklin's story, I may think Michael will be much connected to Franklin in my opinion. Remember, the 2nd trailer? "The son I always wanted?" this struck me actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll ham up the 'emotional bond' between them to convince Franklin into situations he might not want to be in. Interesting. Maybe Michael's narration in trailer 1 is him talking to Franklin? If so, he would be straight up lying to him about why he moved to Los Santos. It wouldn't be the weather, as he said. We now know he snitched and got relocated there via witness protection. Why Michael snitched, who knows. I'm sure there is a good reason. I can see Michael constantly painting himself as a ethical criminal around Franklin, in an effort to impress him (somethink he probably can't do with Jimmy). But anyway, I'm wondering how long Michael can keep it a secret that he is in witness protection? I mean, surely Franklin & Trevor wouldn't want to work with a guy tied to the FIB, right? EDIT: Also, not a racist remark, but alot of boys in the hood grow up without a father. So maybe that could be the case with Franklin. Would certainly make his bond with Michael a whole lot more interesting. Edited May 17, 2013 by GTA-King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mordecai Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You know what would be cool for a couple endings? Franklin can end up like Michael, a smooth rich criminal, or like Trevor.a duckin crazy motherf*cker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIllaDopest Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Maybe a relationship like..... Morpheus and Neo? yea, I think its gonna feel like that when we are playing the story. A father/son story would appeal to us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Now that I think about it... this relationship is more like Michael & Trevor's. Best friends. The fox (Michael), and the hound (Trevor). Going to update the OP... Edited May 17, 2013 by GTA-King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Michael will manipulate Franklin though. He is a criminal mastermind, after all. Plus I'm getting a real sociopathic vibe from Michael. Anyone else? I mean, we know he is bi-polar, egotistical, possible OCD (leaf scene in trailer 2), and he is obviously selfish if he is addicted to chaos. Wouldn't be surprised if he was narcisstic as well.

Even so, Michael would probably spin a plausible tale to explain his coming to Los Santos. A known association with the FIB (the exact details of that association being unknown right now) would pretty much make any criminal aspirations above solo ventures dead in the water.

Grand Theft Savage Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I agree with you connection to Walter and Jesse (by the way, I started watching Breaking bad because of you and I thank you) Michael and Franklin definitely have a teacher/student and/or father/son relationship. The way I see it, Michael will either become possessive of Franklin in a way or begin to manipulate him. By manipulate, I mean that he will exploit Franklin for all of uses whenever he wants, while Franklin is mindless to it and sees Michael as his father figure.

Feel free to stop by the BB season 5 thread once you are all caught up! http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=497731 I think Michael will feel superior over Franklin, but at the same time, he will be very protective over him.

growsinwater Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Maybe Franklin is actually really intelligent and let's Michael think he's manipulating him all the while that's what he's doing to Michael. He can soak up all of Michael's knowledge on the big time crime game and then f*ck Michael over before he does it to him. Maybe if Franklin is close to Michael's kids one of them spills it about them being in protection? Not saying any of this is likely as I think Michael probably does look at him as a son in the real definition of the word, just something I thought thought might be a cool little twist.

CSM. HB J-DOGG Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) In Franklin Micheal sees alot of himself. In Micheal Franklin see a better opportunity. Franklin has been in dangerous situations with almost nothing to really show for it. He probably grew up without his father and Micheal shows Franklin something he has never seen before Life at the top. I dont think Franklin will betray Micheal but rather remain Loyal to him when the FIB comes after Micheal . Lets be real there is no way Micheal is going to pull of Heist as one of the Most notorious Bank Robbers in History in the GTA universe and not get the attention of the FIB. Franklin is described as smart so I doubt he will be easily manipulated. Micheal is bored and out to prove that he still has it. Like most criminal boss Micheal may see franklin as a part of his legacy and his hand picked successor. Someone to carry on his knowledge since his son is not living up to his expectations.

Yeah Franklin knows that gangbangin' is such a pointless risk and selling drugs is chump change. His boy Lamar doesn't realize this. Michael can show him how to make it to the top and live the good life which he desires. I think your theory is the most plausible for how the dynamic of their relationship will play out throughout the course of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjmthe2nd Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 i think that at the end of the story,Franklin will realize no matter what wrong he trys to make it right he's always wrong (turning down drug dealin', saying its so bad,but goes on about killing & robbing banks and peopel etc) hypocrite type sh*t.
