How Machiavellian was Michael Corleone?

In this episode we will evaluate how Machiavellian Michael Corleone was by comparing his actions with those recommended by The Prince, starting with his rise to power in the first movie, into the second movie where the first real crack in his Machiavellian persona begins to appear, through the third movie where many of the ironies about the fact that The Prince is so highly regarded in that life come to light.

100%. Tbh machiavelli ain't shit compared to Sun Tzu, or Miyamoto Musashi.

@@frame-perfectadskip9159 Yeah, Id take Apples and Oranges over that hack Sun Tzu any day. A&O are the real deal.

Oh man I’ve been anticipating an analysis video on this character for a long time. What a perfect Christmas gift.

How Un-Machiavellian was Fredo?

[@LucLB01]

That would actually be interesting. Highlighting all his mistakes and explaining how they could’ve been avoided.

Such an underrated channel. Keep rocking bro!! Love the content.

[@trainsurfer7593]

Please do the hour long documentary!

[@MarceloRomero360]

You make awesome videos, my friend. Thank you and I wish you a happy holiday.👍

[@goodnessduru5302]

Splendid video. Was waiting for this video. I have a request. Could you please do a character analysis on Clay Davis. I believe that to an extent he has Machiavellian traits (it could even be a Machiavellian Monday episode instead) and always manages to win in the end even when the odds are stacked against him. I would love to get your intake on that. Thanks.

I love how both The Godfather and The Lion King are the same Shakespearean tragedy.

Will you ever do breaking bad or ozarks?

How Corleoneian was Machiavelli

[@XanderShiller]

Michael was more Sun Tzu-vian than Machiavelli and Sun Tzu would dwarf Mach in strategy alone.

[@gabrielethier2046]

Sun Tzu was a military strategist and Machiavelli is a political strategist, you're comparing apples to oranges

[@VividManify]

This will be good!

[@917iv]

Bro I’m a huge fan. Could you please start ranking how Machiavellian these people are from 1-10? If possible

[@marcel4002]

As far as Im aware, they aren't making another godfather anytime soon. If you have an hour long doc on the movies and books with poignant insights as related to the game of power, bring it... Btw, "I admire your pictures very much"

[@cyrusamaria]

We haven’t had a Clay Davis video yet..

Tachiavellian Tuesday

[@anthonykology1728]

he was Princely...maybe too much

[@garrykanter5773]

Skipping over Fredo - regardless of how correct it was - created a problem they seem to have ignored.

[@MichaTheLight]

Answer: yes

[@justincraig398]

Todays Tuesday though ….

[@frame-perfectadskip9159]

World leaders who predate Machiavelli like Alexander the Great would make great subjects

[@jengasias]

You should do one on klemmens von mitternich he was a little social political chess playa.

[@erinscruggs5838]

He doesn't seem arrogant at all. So NO.

[@massivedamagegaming9004]

You shouldn't have included part 3.
