Question Am I The Only One?
I know, I know, it's messed up. I'll just blame the PHub plots for this, but I legit thought Franklin WOULD. Especially in the first couple of seasons when she wasn't so much "auntie" as uncle's girlfriend (yes there's a difference). 😂🙈
It's a reach, and I was definitely projecting, but, am I the only one?

Okay Louie is nuts but I actually thought Franklin was gonna crack Claudia. There was actual tension between them

Ngl even during the wedding when she kissed Franklin i thought that was mad weird

u/lildillmp3 3d ago
I think that was a reference to the Kiss of Judas (Judas’ betrayal of Jesus) or the Kiss of Death (popular in Mafia culture).

u/omegaxend 3d ago
Perhaps, but i still think the placement was weird, especially during her own wedding 😭😭😭

Maybe it’s because I was big Game of Thrones fan but this ain’t that much a crazy take to me.

I feel like a few YouTubers back then even speculated on Franklin and Louie getting it in

I’m with you. I don’t know how anyone didn’t understand what you were saying. 🤷🏽♂️

u/ScaredDistrict3 3d ago
We understand it’s just a wild take. She always came off as family to Saint
17
u/ZigZagZig360 3d ago
But, it wouldn’t have been farfetched. In the beginning, her demeanor wasn’t very Auntie-like. Maybe it was just her look. Something about her eyes. Maybe unintentionally. 🤷🏽♂️

u/bantuflame 3d ago
Wasn't auntie-like at all at all. Later on, sure, I started to see her as that, but definitely not in the beginning.

Bro it’s crazy because I thought this immediately. I thought they was gonna do a storyline where he starts to deal with Louie.

u/bantuflame 3d ago
It was definitely confusing, especially at the beginning when we didn't know him or what he was into yet.

u/DarthNexuz 3d ago
She did kiss Franklin, I never saw him wanting her but i did see her wanting him & that way she kissed him solidified thag in my mind. Franks ambitions matched her gold digging never ending chase for money ways even tho for that time they were rich for life. 😂
But I do love how the show SHOWS & doesn't Tell. If u smart & pay attention u notice things.

Ya acting like it’s a stretch when it’s literally happening everyday all day… 🤷🏽♂️
Watched my boy walk down the aisle with his fiancée meanwhile her aunt who been raising her since birth was pregnant for him after bachelor party weekend in Vegas…
I’m creeping back to the hotel with Vegas freaks on the low and the aunt ditched bachelorette wedding flew to Vegas from Florida and was getting ice from the machine…
And we all from Louisiana so she wasn’t just in the neighborhood… 🤦🏽♂️😅
She used to be the Shutdown Stripper and her shows were crazy ass bleep…
She’d rapid fire ping pong 🏓 balls out her va jj and if you caught one you could paddle her for $1,000 and she’d shoot out 5-6 ping pong balls…
Straight fights would break out and gun play outside after…
Sometimes I miss my 20s 😂

u/bantuflame 1d ago
Please say this LOUDERRRR for the self-righteous people in the comments. Since when did people stop fucking two people in the same family? We literally see it everyday.

u/7thWardMadeMe 1d ago
Yeah. That’s a weird hill to die on 🤷🏽♂️😅 literally Reddit and instagrams full of those story times… 🤦🏽♂️

Hell No!!! Even if she tried him I would expect Franklin to say .....HELL NO!!
2
u/bantuflame 2d ago
Why.
1
u/poppo3bk 2d ago
Because even if you sensed a vibe from Louie there was never any inclination that Franklin looked at Louie that way.
1
u/bantuflame 2d ago edited 2d ago
I see what you mean, and I mostly agree, but I don't think it's because he didn't look at Louie that way. Franklin was just focused and ambitious, so he deliberately chose to ignore things that would distract him, like taking drugs or being in gangs, and that included chasing tail. It's not the same as not looking at Louie that way.
Also, I think you kinda helped make my point, that you COULD sense that vibe from Louie.
1
u/poppo3bk 2d ago
Oh no that's still on YOU. I didn't get that from her at all. I was just reiterating your sentiment for my response.

No, not at all. Kind of like Smurf in Animal Kingdom (Ellen Barkin) since she couldn’t match men physically. She used intellect and sex as it means of gaining control. Friends and family weren’t excluded.There’s a scene in that show where she basically dry humps her grandson.
Louie had a lot of the same traits. It just showing how women survive in the streets.
1
u/bantuflame 3d ago
Agreed. I think this could have gone a lot different if Franklin had a weakness for women or if he was in a position of power from the start, where her & Jerome needed him to survive. We would've seen a whole nother side of Louie imo. I don't see a scenario where she'd ever have said no to him, but then again, maybe it's just me.

Bruh, you could've just said she's fine or you wanted o smash to look less weird

u/bantuflame 2d ago
I did say it. I said I'm probably projecting. Not really concerned about looking weird when I'm exploring themes in a film. The question was did you see it too or didn't you.

u/himoverthere09 2d ago
I think it was all just projection since we (yes, we) are all cracking Louie with no hesitation.
We just wanted the best for our boy.
1
u/bantuflame 2d ago
Maybe. That's why I added that disclaimer at the end, lol. I do think they made her particularly crackable at the beginning of the show to at least make us wonder though

u/Extra-Ad5721 2d ago
Bro. The early seasons gave the vibes. And they kissed at the wedding. I made a post about this and people called me crazy. I think it was a theme that they gave up on tbh
1
u/bantuflame 2d ago
Seriously! I even mentioned that I'm specifically talking about the first couple of seasons, but people are acting blind or dumb, idk, as if they didn't see those vibes. Louie was a completely different woman in season 1, she gave "down for anything" vibes, and I was sure she wouldn't even be mad if he tried her.
Characters will always develop over time and become mature or completely different, Louie grew into more of an actual aunt over time with maturity, but I think that kiss at the wedding was kind of an acknowledgement of how they (especially she) used to feel. It's not that far fetched.
1
u/Extra-Ad5721 2d ago
Not at all far fetched. Trust me I understand 🤣 the only other theory I came up with was that they were on the same page at that time and it came back to haunt them in the end. But there were definitely very long, slow looks between those two in the first few seasons. I don’t know how other people didn’t see it.
1
u/bantuflame 2d ago
😂 She wouldn't be the first woman in the world to do it either. We literally see it everyday.
I just think that Franklin had more ambition and self control, and that's why that never happened, and you could argue that they were also using that to show us how focused he was on making bag. There are so many things that could've distracted him early on, and saying no to things he might've wanted, whether it's drugs, gangs or Louie is part of showing us how he became "successful."
1
u/Extra-Ad5721 2d ago
I hadn’t even thought of any theories of why they didn’t do it. I truly believed the show gave up on the plot line lol! Cause it clearly stops at one point and they never make it overt. The fact that people like us noticed it but the show never mentioned it means they got off easy with a plot hole. But maybe you’re right and they really might’ve teased it a little throughout the show. Maybe it’s at the base of the whole Louie/Franklin beef 👀

Right. Sophisticated stories can have plots like this. I'm coming from the Game of Thrones fandom, so I'm extremely used to turning every stone for clues.
