Talk:Stretch (character)

Anti-thesis
Franklin and Stretch are the anti-thesis the other. They both acknowledge the danger of the 'hood' Franklin rejects the typical hood methods finding the danger to not be worth payoff. He dislikes the notion of gangs and picking sides (further seen with the Michael Trevor debacle) Stretch takes full advantage of the hood system, using jail as a means to extend his influence. He recognises the superior gang and takes the opportunity to manipulate a switch.

Real name
Hello. When is Stretch's full name said? I don't remember the moment. Also, the page lacks of any reference. Please, anyone can prove this? Thanks. 02:13, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Use the cellphone to access the in-game interet playing as Franklin. Then click on the friends list and you'll find Stretch's real name. Smashbro8 (talk) 03:04, December 11, 2013 (UTC)Smashbro8

Blue Emperor
Since when owns Stretch a blue/black Emperor, I thought it belonged to Lamar?

Should we rename this article?
I’m currently pondering whether we should rename this article to “Harold (Stretch) Joseph” or something to that effect. Considering that’s his real name in the game, and while he’s more known by ‘Stretch’, it might add a bit of polish to the article, especially considering we can just have “Stretch” redirect here.

 * No, the same logic as used on (for example) Big Smoke, Ryder, OG Loc, Sweet Johnson etc: their "real name" pages act as redirects to their "known name" page. People searching for these characters search by these names first and foremost. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 05:02, February 6, 2019 (UTC)

How do we know that Renatta is Stretch's ex and not his current girlfriend?
I've looked on his page on Lifeinvader, listened to dialogue in missions, post-mission phone calls, and not once have I heard Stretch or anyone say anything about Renatta being his ex. Sure, Franklin says that he's had sex with her after Stretch got sent to prison, but this was probably to get him mad because they are always arguing. 22:09, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Stretch is lower rank antagonist?
Stretch had appeared in only fewer missions before his betrayal on the GSF.
 * "In Grand Theft Auto V, there are uniquely three Protagonists, each sharing the main antagonist, Devin Weston, and secondary, Steve Haines in the shared main story arc. Franklin and Trevor also have their own individual tertiary antagonists who are treated equally in the canon finale ending, when a protagonist takes out each other's tertiary antagonist as well as Haines, before Weston is also eliminated by the trio. Hence Wei Cheng and Stretch are considered equally tertiary antagonists. A character's position in the end credits and/or manual usually dictates their importance in terms of being "central/main/supporting/minor" characters with some leeway given based on actual screen time. For example, Wei Cheng, while being positioned in the same credits section as Haines and Stretch and Weston, is considered less prominent (supporting) because of his lack of screen time (due primarily to the use of Tao Cheng as his proxy), even though his importance as a tertiary antagonist is not diminished. We have relied upon some common sense in this in the past, but it appears we may need to specify it in our Manual of Style, since it has been very inconsistently implemented."

 * As recently explained, the canon ending makes his antagonist "level" clear. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 23:01, 7 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, Wei Chang and Stretch are both considered equally tertiary antagonist to Michael and Trevor. However, Wei Chang had bigger plans against Trevor for destroying the O'Neill Brothers by sending some of his triads to capture Michael and hold at the meat factory to be tortured for the information and have Michael to get killed. While Stretch first appear to fight against Ballas with Franklin and Lamar until throughout the phone call on the post-mission where his betrayal is revealed about joining the Ballas and kidnapping Lamar with help of the other ballas.
