A lot of parents are like that, they get upset but change the subject similar to that to show they are sorry but don’t want to admit to it. Usually both the parent and kid know to move on from the argument
Francis had the best character development on the show up to a point. He started out as a delinquent and ended up a rather responsible adult. Each of his experiences, no matter how terrible, was integral towards his growth. At home, his friends and brothers encourage his irresponsibility and stubborn rebellion, and he takes his screaming matches with Lois as victories. But the military academy and Spangler represented the harsh truth of life that it doesn't care how much you whine or scream at it. Alaska and Lavernia represented the unstoppable nature of life, and that fighting against it is futile. Otto and the farm represented the responsibilities of life, and in a place where nobody was stepping up, he had to take charge. Ultimately, the writers didn't know how to progress further and they stumbled him around after abruptly making him mess up with Otto and get fired. They really regressed him back to wanting to blame everything on everybody else, making excuses for himself, even though Ranch Francis was properly matured.
Francis wasn't supposed to be fired in season 6, but rather stay in New Mexico. He and Otto were supposed to have more adventures around the ranch. The only reason for Francis' firing in Hal's Christmas Gift was because Kenneth Mars who played Otto, was suffering from Pancreatic Cancer in 2006. Thus, he was unable to reprise his role and retired. Which is sad since I liked him in being the cheery, kind, albeit careless boss to Francis' newfound maturity and being a responsible adult.
D33Y4 yes all true, I think they just ran out of ideas for Francis, I wish he had stayed with Auto and Grechin as they were great side characters who added to the comedy. It was after he left the ranch that his character started regressing and not developing anymore. Plus the reason he even left the ranch didn’t add up to his or Auto’s character.
ladyfire44 thanks for that info, I wish Otto could have stayed on as a character because like Stevy and his dad as well as the rest of Hal’s poker buddies they greatly added to the comedy. Francis didn’t have many good stories after Otto had to be written out.
Honestly I hated that they screwed over his character at the end. There was no reason to butcher his character development and make him regress to his season 1 counterpart.
@@Kronoblade99 Fracis at the ranch shows what it means to truly grow up. It's extremely relatable, because that's how life goes for most people who don't pursue higher education. You start out confused, lured by the amazing offer on some job, Alaska here, then you realize just how much jobs can suck, but you learn to accept it somehow, thinking there isn't a way out because you need the small amount of money to survive. Then you finally stop working there because of some unexpected reason and you find yourself somehow different, feeling free but strange, because to adapt to that crappy job you had to adopt a certain mentality to make it through, not maturity but adaptation, and it's the only way you've known how to live for the "longest" time. But you stop working there and you feel confused but somehow liberated and you find a new job, somewhere with actual responsibilities and where you can at least enjoy parts of it. Where you finally think, this might be it. For most people they'll go through at least 5 jobs, some better paid, but hard, and when you quit and work elsewhere, you realize that it was pretty good, but you weren't mature enough to appreciate it. Some jobs are much easier, the pay is ok, but it's so demeaning to be working there, it's beneath you. But you keep trying, and you suffer all on your own, and you try to make it, you try and get more out of life. You balance money, quality of life, stress and so on. Sadly we didn't see Francis grow up even more after the ranch, he was left unfinished. This turned out insanely long, and not really that connected, but if you read through it, you have my respect and thanks. Cheers for Francis, the average person trying to live life
I like how Francis’s fellow cadets were really interested in hearing about his phone call with malcom about standing against Lois for the dress and stuff lol
The final scene in this montage is so heart warming. Hal realising that Francis looks out for all the other problem cadets and his standing-up to tyranny despite the personal consequences he endures for it are the reason for his poor record. The hug and how Hal goes "I understand" get me every time.
Well also just before that he said "you only care about yourself." He knows that's not true. He _does_ care about others. Just shows it by breaking the rules. A chaotic good for sure.
its like as a father, you know your son is an alright guy. like as a father you know he's going to be alright in life. thats all you can really wish for as a dad, for a son that stands up for those weaker than him and that others admire.
Cranston's (Hal's) performance at 46:16 was just perfect You can hear him choking back tears while he talks, which honestly sells his performance. To be fair, his acting was better here in this comedy show compared to him in Breaking Bad 💪
if i recall Jane Kaczmerek eventually regretted the role,despite it being one of if not,THE roll that made her famous... because poeple grew to believe she was as agressive and controlling as the character.
Francis scenes always were always superb, Im stoked Frankie Muniz announced the writers are currently putting together a script for a Malcolm Movie with all the original cast members:0
I loved his story arc in Alaska more probably, he thought he was gonna have a better independent life only to become a slave and tormented by Lavergnia lmao that was the best
@@comcastblows567 Maybe for a character development it was better for him throughout later seasons, sure. But he was still much funnier and cool to watch throughout seasons 1 and 2.
That moment when Hal finally understands his son - that all he has ever done all his life was consistently and tirelessly fight against the people who have been cruel to him and others.
Those last clips of Hal realizing Francis was a good man at heart made me tear up. He may be a screw up, but the man would throw himself in front of a bus for you in a heartbeat.
My family used to connect to this show on a such a spiritual level giving as we were all boys with a controlling mom. I still have mad respect for my oldest brother and his word is law 100%. This show really encapsulates my family.
Watching this and you realize this is a character study of how Francis is in fact a natural leader and tactical genius.... Just with a streak of ADHD and bullheaded stubbornness xDDD
watching those malcolm in the middle comps, makes my heart feel nostalgia. It was so cool to watch that series after school etc. Malcolm was a very very great show even for up to now standarts... really miss those times. That series was an important part of my childhood =)
I started this show sometime during the 3rd season or so and I remember finding it so odd a dynamic that Francis was written to be this isolated character from the get go, always separated and doing his own thing. Almost never actually on the same screen as the rest of the family only interacting through phone calls except on really rare occasions. I assumed he was actually sent to Military School during one of the season finales or something but no he was always like this and they somehow make it work so well. Every time he interacts with the rest of the family it has this sense of familiarity that's feels like he truly knew them forever and never left them.
Lots of shows have A and B plot lines to keep the audience from being bored. I think having Francis have independent plot lines, occasionally intersecting with the family's plot lines, were a lot of fun.
he was my childhood crush in elementary school. now i'm 18 and i still understand why i felt this way. he always had the most adorable and charming face, especially when he was smiling. irresistible, great and funny character.
"you will never amount to anything. why can't you just apply yourself? do you enjoy seeing me suffer, is that what this is?" way above Jigsaw-style torture
This probably won't happen but I would love to see a whole video on Fancis's journey, not just the phone call advice cameos that don't involve him in a side storyline in his area. In Marlon Academy, going back home to leave for Alaska, meeting Piama, then going to the Ranch and then in the apartment near his family getting a job after being fired from the Ranch. This is like a big head start for the beginning.
I swear the last scene between hal & francis brought me to tears. I know it's just a show but hal was so proud because francis is such a good person who will fight for those who need help.
Honestly you couldn't have ended on a better clip, Francis may have lots of problems and cause lots of them but he always stands up for people when there is abuse of power and injustices involved.
"The one good thing about a head injury, there's a good chance I won't remember any of this." And now we know why, Frankie Muniz remembers absolutely nothing about being on the show
Well, she enjoys torturing them but she is loving, fierce, brave and tender AF. The only way in which they could have survived was with that specific kind of mum.
She is callous. Down to her core (and she even admits it when she hunts down the girls that humiliated Reese), she has some of her mother's craziness and passed it down to her sons. She's also incredibly stubborn about everything, but she does love her kids. She is the backbone where Hal isn't.
goddamn that show was one of the best things to watch after school when i was 14,15, good memories, and i remember re-watching it fully in 2015 and yeah still good, one of the best shows ever
One of my favorite all-time lines from the show probably my favorite all time sequence of lines from the show if you will "Uh oh!" "What?" "Its TOO clean." "Youre right... they'll never buy it."😂🤣😂🤣
@@grylos5887 yeah they just made him a high school janitor. Why didn’t they do anything with his cooking? Like have him go to culinary school or him becoming a head chef.
It's so funny how your perspective and view changed as you get older. By that I mean these kids look so young compared to when I was first watching it as a teen. Francis always looked older when I was just a teen watching. Now watching at 33 he looks like a kid too lol.
This was one of the funniest shows ever on TV, and it was ahead of its tim, too, because looking back at it now, as an adult, there are actually a lot of positive themes surrounding minorities, particularly homosexuality and disability.
41:03 to 43:10 is exactly what it's like living with ADHD. "Okay now I'm studying hard, for real. Concentration mode engaged." *30 seconds later* "Oh wow, the plaster in the wall next to me almost looks like a person's face when the light hits it at the right angle. I wonder if there are more in this room." ... I just realized that as I'm writing this comment, I'm over 40 minutes into a video after getting distracted from another video, after getting distracted from learning how to use blender, which distracted me from when I planned to mow the lawn three hours ago. Jesus Christ this show is the most relatable thing ever.
Fun fact: Aaron Paul auditioned for Francis. That alternate ending to Breaking Bad could've been way more meta...
And Chris Masterson, the score who plays Francis, was up to play Will Turner on POTC, but Orlando Bloom won the part, he would have been great.
If Aaron Paul was Francis, then all of Francis's quotes would end with "Bitch!"
I literally used to have in my memory that Francis was just played by Aaron Paul and that there’s been a kind of long acting legacy between the two since malcom in the middle
@Ryan Akwar To be fair, Jesse is supposed to be 17 throughout Breaking Bad, so Frankie would have actually been more fitting in that regard.

I think the times when Hal has a heart to heart with Francis, like at 38:00 and the ending, are peak acting in this show.

He sold the “MOM PLEASE LET ME COME HOME” part perfectly

literally me LMFAO i watch it liek all the time and when i’m finished rewatching i rewatch it again
i always had a crush on francis when i was younger...
Sam
Same 😂
Francis is cute asf
We all did
Karen Wangari
No, we „all“ didn’t. Not even if it is just about looks.
44:06 That was absolutely beautiful, the cutaway between the canister exploding and the thunder in the house, Beautiful editing!
I watch this show every now and again and the thing I've picked up on Francis is that he cares about everyone else sometimes more than himself
6:39 Wait it's actually really cute how much they all love and look up to their older brother and want him around 😭💔
I can relate to Francis. He's my favorite character in this awesome show
White Pride no ur not
francis should of had his own spin off
“Francis first” 😂
Francis in the Front
Francis On Top
“This week is my intervention, better put me down as a maybe” hahahaha
“Aunt Helen died?”
“We’ll I sure hope so we’re going to her funeral” had me cracking up
She's a good Mum! Malcom is a genius & Lois knows it, he will be fine no matter what, she is not caulus!
Well, she enjoys torturing them but she is loving, fierce, brave and tender AF. The only way in which they could have survived was with that specific kind of mum.
She is callous. Down to her core (and she even admits it when she hunts down the girls that humiliated Reese), she has some of her mother's craziness and passed it down to her sons. She's also incredibly stubborn about everything, but she does love her kids. She is the backbone where Hal isn't.
Lainey
She has a dark side but cannot be called callous. panda pub describes her perfectly.
Hal is a great dad. I personally love the part where is confronts Francis about the car. I love that part
Even Commandant Spangler knows when he's beat when Lois is on the scene.
I think Francis's friend Eric was hilarious in the marshmellow eating episode
goddamn that show was one of the best things to watch after school when i was 14,15, good memories, and i remember re-watching it fully in 2015 and yeah still good, one of the best shows ever
"You wanna know the thing about a head injury? There's a good chance I won't remember any of this."
Too true, Frankie :(
One of my favorite all-time lines from the show probably my favorite all time sequence of lines from the show if you will
"Uh oh!"
"What?"
"Its TOO clean."
"Youre right... they'll never buy it."😂🤣😂🤣
Actually Francis does have a point. That guy was simply just hugging his father.
Affection should never be frowned upon or called out. 48:00
43:37 "yeah Francis that's Malcolms Spot"
Up until the end of series 6 Francis had the best character ark growing into a responsible working adult. No idea why they destroyed that in series 7
Season 7 screwed over Reese too. Sucks that they rushed that season so badly.
@@grylos5887 yeah they just made him a high school janitor.
Why didn’t they do anything with his cooking? Like have him go to culinary school or him becoming a head chef.
I love how proud of Francis Hal was at the end for sticking up and helping the others even if he got in trouble for it
It's so funny how your perspective and view changed as you get older. By that I mean these kids look so young compared to when I was first watching it as a teen. Francis always looked older when I was just a teen watching. Now watching at 33 he looks like a kid too lol.
“No broken clavicles”
“That’s something inside of me right?”
I know this is about Francis,, but when Lois ask "where's your eye?" Kills every time!! 😂😂😂
Francis is a great character.
This was one of the funniest shows ever on TV, and it was ahead of its tim, too, because looking back at it now, as an adult, there are actually a lot of positive themes surrounding minorities, particularly homosexuality and disability.
41:03 to 43:10 is exactly what it's like living with ADHD.
"Okay now I'm studying hard, for real. Concentration mode engaged."
*30 seconds later*
"Oh wow, the plaster in the wall next to me almost looks like a person's face when the light hits it at the right angle. I wonder if there are more in this room."
...
I just realized that as I'm writing this comment, I'm over 40 minutes into a video after getting distracted from another video, after getting distracted from learning how to use blender, which distracted me from when I planned to mow the lawn three hours ago. Jesus Christ this show is the most relatable thing ever.
OHHH Francis can freaking get it. Childhood and current crush tf
I'm pretty sure this is literally every scene with Francis so yeah it absolutely is the best bits
The quack marshmallow one, omg. 😂😂😂😂
Reminiscent of Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke."
"How did she died?!?"
"Cats ate her face."
"Dad. What happened. To aunt. Helen."
"Cats ate her face."
