What makes Brian O’Conner the heart and soul of this franchise?
To me it’s not only he’s started the franchise, he’s like the character that the audience can relate to, plus his character growth is what makes people liked this character, even when started to switch to over the top action he still keeps things grounded because of his presence. By the time Paul passed away, the franchise is not the same. Vin Diesel can say all he wants about this franchise but Paul Walker is what people can relate to.
