Trevor is one of the protagonists of GTA 5 and is a complex and eccentric character. While Michael and Franklin have linear storylines and motivations, Trevor is unpredictable and impulsive. This sets him apart from the other characters in the series and often divides the GTA community. Some fans absolutely love his character, but others despise him.
Replying to a Reddit post by u/Bolt_990 discussing his character, u/ALEXANDERTHEOCTCPUS described Trevor as such:
"F**** psychopath"
Trending
This is an accurate description of Trevor because his first appearance in the game shows him going on a rampage and killing someone. Repeatedly, Trevor has proved himself to be unhinged and has often failed to control his temper and emotions. However, there is another side to this character.
Trevor has proven himself to be very smart when he needs to be and u/Legitimate_Life_1926 describes him perfectly:
"Sorta smart but way crazier"
Trevor has shown his skills when dealing with an undercover cop who was trying to arrest him by luring him into confessing during a drug deal. This is one of the many instances where Trevor Phillip showcased his genius.
GTA 5 created a complex protagonist in the form of Trevor
GTA 5 is a highly acclaimed title which had three main characters that players can control. This was one of the first times that one could witness a story spanning three main characters and branch out among them. While Franklin and Michael turned out to be relatively straightforward characters with simple motives, Trevor was a riot from the start.
He murdered the protagonist from GTA 4's Lost and Damned DLC in his first appearance and then crash-landed at Michael's house out of nowhere. While players might first believe him to be an unhinged character prone to violence with no sense of sympathy or growth, Trevor does prove everyone wrong as the game progresses.
Even after being betrayed by his best friend, he stays loyal and helps him out numerous times. This plays a big role in setting up his character as the story moves forward. While he is sarcastic and hurtful towards Franklin at the beginning, he softens up later on. Rockstar also added moments that showed Trevor's vulnerable nature, which got him sympathy from the community as well.
Fans differ in their opinions about Trevor
As stated, the community is generally divided about Trevor as a protagonist in GTA 5. While some consider him overrated and believe his actions seem unnecessary, others find him comical and call him a "fun psychopath".
Others consider him a loyal yet unhinged friend who will go to any lengths to rescue and help you. Trevor has proven himself in this regard as he agreed to help out Michael and Trevor during various missions in GTA 5. Below, we have more reactions from fans talking about Trevor:
Overall, Trevor is a complex character that managed to leave a mark on fans, both positive and negative. Hopefully, Lucia and Jason in the upcoming GTA 6 are equally well-written.
