Godfather is honorific, Mike is not

Compared with the old godfather's loyalty and Gujia, Mike seems to be far behind. He really became cold and unlovable. To be honest, I was fascinated by the old godfather. It has nothing to do with appearance. It is his steadfast eyes when he talks about loyalty to help others and caring for the family. It is calm and undaunted, and even if everyone knows his name, he keeps a low profile. Don't speak out freely. Some people say that Mike’s ending is the reason for Kay. It’s not that even if his ex-wife didn’t die and the two were always together, McBen won’t intervene in the family business. From the moment he picked up the gun and decided to kill for his father, he would not spend it innocently. In the beginning, for Mike, revenge was for his family, and the old godfather had revenge for his dead family when he was young; later, Mike's revenge was to kill everyone who threatened him, even his brother. Just as he promised Kay, he would legalize the family but failed. Before the death of the first old godfather, he was still playing with his grandson. There was plenty of sunshine. After that, many people came to mourn. The scene was very large and everyone respected the old godfather. And the third movie, Mike, died, lonely, gloomy and ended without taking funeral and other scenes. Mike is cold and ruthless, in sharp contrast with the ending of the old godfather. It is not that the times have changed, but that he has more desires, and because of betrayal, he no longer trusts the people around him, and his cruel appearance makes people unwilling to respect. Mike may not have the honorific title of that godfather.
