Great thread DT.Was Michael a bad Don?Hmmmm..i dont think he was a "bad" Don.Sonny was a bad Don.But compared to his father..maybe.I like how you pointed out how he had lost the human touch.He was not respected like Vito,as in Vito had respect due to his kindness aswell.Michael's respect came from fear.I think people just feared him,whereas Vito was more loved.Michael was pretty much on a "high Horse" and was Power hungry,which could have led him to being a "bad Don".
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
