Who is the "REAL" Godfather? If You were a "Mob Boss", Who would you currently be? 💭
Let's find out ➡️ bit.ly/MafiaBossQuiz
Who would win if in some alternate reality Vito and Michael were to go head to head? 🔥🥊

Vito and Michael Corleone, are both the personification of power, wealth and intelligence. 2 of the MOST iconic characters in film history, brilliantly played by 2 of the greatest actors of all time, Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. These characters are the epitome of what having an extraordinary amount of power actually looks like 👑
But the question always comes up, who was a better don? Both excelled at gaining power and expanding their empire and sphere of influence. Both ended up learning how to pull the strings of power to their favor ⚖️
So, it really is a difficult question to answer subjectively, unless you have a clear bias towards either one, you certainly can make an argument for both of them from a first glance. That’s why in this video we will be extensively analysing Don Vito and Michael, comparing them through some key categories that by the end gives us a superior and more logical answer to this question, to who was the "Better" Godfather 💎
So who is Vito Corleone? Don Vito Corleone was the founder and the patriarch of the Corleone crime family. Vito came to America as an orphan and slowly clawed his way up to be one of the most powerful and revered individuals of his time and even beyond. Vito’s big break came after the “olive oil war”. Where he ruthlessly dethroned the previous boss of bosses, by cunningly getting his very own caporegimes Emilio Barzini and Frankie Five Angels to betray their don. The classic, “divide et impera”. Through his intelligence, wit and cunning he was able to reach the heights of power and wealth and pass down his legacy to his son. Vito was the epitome of what a powerful leader is, he is the representation of what and how men of extreme power are able to strive and pull the strings of influence. But what differentiated Vito from other powerful individuals, is that he had a very strict code of honour that he would never break, he set limits to how far he would go depending on the scenario. As Machiavelli would have put it, he was both feared and loved.
Who was Michael Corleone? The youngest son of the don, Michael Corleone had always tried to stay away from his fathers shadow and wanted nothing to do with the family business. Michael was very intelligent, he inherited most of Vito’s strengths, and with his education and military experience, he really was on par and some would argue, an even better don than his father. Michael started off as a very moral man, always looking down upon what his family was involved in, however, after the series of events we see in the films, Michael begins to understand his father’s philosophy, and begins to transform into becoming just as ruthless as Vito, sometimes even going past what Vito deemed to be too far. But as a Don, Michael almost made every right move possible, allowing him to carry the family and ensuring its survival. After conducting this analysis, and really trying to look at this not just from our own bias, but from the lens of individuals far more wise than us.
In the end we have finally come to a solid conclusion. A definitive answer that has never been truly answered with the depth we just went through.

Also, Vito literally helped every single person who was willing to kiss his hand and call him godfather, even the people who could barely offer anything in return. He does even more in the book. (He helps a poor woman avoid being evicted with her pet.) He sends his consigliere across the country to personally help Johnny Fontane, a washed-up singer who couldn't sing anymore. He takes in an orphan kid because he was friends with his son Santino. And he was never overly harsh with his family, no matter how unfit they were, which was arguably his biggest weakness. Vito wanted to become a powerful man so that the pezzonovantes (bigshots and mafiosos) couldn't push him around. Michael wanted to be an emperor and to have sons to carry on his royal lineage. This question is a no-brainer to me. Vito is the Godfather.

I shouldn't be spewing this out before watching the video, but in my own opinion Vito excelled at his conception of what an "old world" mafia boss should be. Family and friends oriented, listening to the little people in the neighborhood, having moral lines he won't cross. Michael, on the other hand, is new world. Cutthroat, somewhat cartel-like, anything for the sake of expanding his business and power even at the cost of family and friends. They're stark opposites to each other.

Vito held his family higher than power because he witnessed the decline of his family as a child. Thus once arriving in America, Vito made sure he furthered his family bloodline.

Vito Corleone was born Dec. 7th. At the end of Godfather II, when you see the old family getting together (with Sonny still alive), Mike announces he signed up for the Military. Mike did this because the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor. That was December 7th, 1941. While I won't use the derogatory term Sonny used to described the Japanese, he did say "the nerve of them. And on Pop's birthday too." Pop was Vito Corleone. And if you meant Happy Birthday to Marlon Brando, his birthday was earlier; April 3rd, 1924 to be exact. 😀

From what I can see, most of the people who are choosing Vito over Michael are doing so based on personal feelings and likeability of the character. Michael was far more cunning, ruthless and ambitious. He was thrown into the trenches out of nowhere, thrown to the lions and he adapted perfectly. He stayed at the top and took the empire to unimaginable heights. Vito had more wisdom and built everything from scratch (even though Clemenza showed him the ropes). People loved him and he was a far better family man. In terms of business however, Michael was an objectively better don than Vito.

I dont think one is better than the other, I think they grew up in different times… Vito - he had to pave the way for his future family to survive/live. He refused to be like others around him and pretty much saved the community or at the very least was a saviour for them. Michael - had to do the same to some extent yes, but had the benefit of already being in a country where he grew up in and to some extent accepted. He was given privileges through his father’s sacrifice and had an example of how to move. We don’t know enough about Vitos own father to know what example Vito had and how they lived as a family, only that he brokered no BS and told the local don to go F himself. Both were great in my opinion.

Therefore, he threw away the opportunity to prove himself. Michael did earn what he had by paying high prices like the deaths of Apollonia and his daughter.

Vito was shot 5 times and almost died while under Fredo's "protection" but there is no indication of any resentment by Vito against Fredo. Michael was betrayed by Fredo. However Fredo was duped by Roth and said he did not know Roth would try to kill Michael. Yet Michael could not put the betrayal behind him and forgive Fredo and eventually had him killed. That killing haunted Michael later in life. He would have been better off handling Fredo as Vito did.

Completely different situations. Fredo was vitos son,whilst getting shot was due to incompetence. Whilst fredo in regards to Michael's perspective went against his family not just once twice,the second time being a power play done because of jealousy which also almost ended in Michel being whacked. And if Mike left him alive fredo would've tried again due to feeling 'owed'

1. Vito was more a godfather than a businessman. Michael was more a businessman than a godfather. 2. Yes, Michael expanded the family business, but I don’t think he could’ve built the business from scratch like Vito. Certain life experiences at a young age forced one into a level of toughness and courage that became more innate in Vito.

Vito Corleone is by far the best example of a Godfather. He was both feared and loved by the people around him. He treated everyone with respect no matter what his/her status was. In life, when all is lost, hope is by far the only reason for living. With that, Don Vito was able to offer hope to the hopeless unlike Michael who was ruthless and didn't show enough compassion towards others.

Michael did everything Sonny wanted to do, but he did it in a more calculated way. Vito made the entire family and grew it to the powerful force it was before Michael took over. Michael had both his father and Sonny in him as they were both dons. Michael is the greater Don because he had everything.

Totally agree CM with Vito as the winner. Vito did start it all pretty much on his own in a pretty tough environment fraught with pitfalls. Michael had Vito to advise him...a huge and powerful advantage. Michael built upon what Vito initially established but he take some bigger losses. Even though Vito lost his son in a costly war, Michael did lose his family in many ways, something that would have been inconceivable to the don. Vito was much more in touch with everyone being seen as compassionate man, jovial and approachable. He was successful in achieving that very difficult balance of being loved and feared. Michael was feared not so much loved.

It's not really a debate. In legit business, startup artists often can't run and maintain the exploding size of their new business. Large corporate managers rarely could build the company they control. In this fictional account, it appears they both could startup and maintain. So they are just different and primarily able to adapt to the current situation.

This quote is applicable to all the great characters (even Michael Corleone) except vito because his concious was hundred percent on right place. No matter what happened with him but he never went ruthless like Michael. If you have read the book you will realise that even small decisions taken by vito was so thoughtful he never got carried away be it friendship ot revenge

You could even say that had Vito not advised Michael against going to the meeting with Barzini, Michael might have went and got killed
@E-85

In my opinion GF2, is the best starting point as it shows the parallel between Vito and Mike at their prime on how they handle their business life and family life. Vito's whole family was taken away from him as a little boy and was about to be gone if he didn't escape into hiding. He ended getting revenge later on while his family went on vacation back to the he escaped.Vito highly regarded family despite their flaws and not have harm done to them even if it caused him to get hurt. Mike was initially about family in GF1 up until his first wife Apollina was gone from car explosion, and his brother Sonny was set up by his brother in law Carlos for a hit. Carlos was also beating up Mike's sister Connie. Fredo didn't stand up for himself against Moe Green. He was warned in GF1 to not go against the family. Before that he did a poor job protecting Vito. In GF2, Fredo almost got Mike's immediate family hit at bedtime for going against what Mike said in GF1. Mike chose the life. The life chose Vito.

Welcome 🌹 Michael and Vito Corleone are the epitome of what having an extraordinary amount of power actually looks like. But the question always comes up, who was a better don? Who is the “true Godfather”? And it really is a difficult question to answer subjectively, because unless you have a clear bias towards either one, you certainly can make an argument for both of them at a first glance. That’s why in this video we will finally answer this heavily contested question. We’ve tailored it to our specific mission. To find out who is the “true godfather”. We’ll also be keeping score Feel free to score them alongside us.
