...surely even the mighty Godfather could not predict his own death!; he meant as the move to Vegas progressed, and the consolidation of power became evident. Therefore, while you're right that they anticipated animosity... it was unrelated to Vito's death in my opinion, it was indeed like looking 3 moves ahead in a chess match.
We had an interesting discussion a while back about whether or not Michael would have massacred Barzini and the others if Vito were still alive.
This is my second day in the forum, and I love it already
Cheers
That's what it's all about here!
