Godfather Trilogy

[breakinglight11]

I just completed the Godfather trilogy with my family.

Tom Hagen should have been Don. I don't care if he wasn't blood, I don't care that he wasn't Italian. He was more like the Godfather than any of the Godfather's own blood, and better at the game than any of the Italians. If he had become the don, he would have made that Family run right, and it wouldn't have become as sick and twisted as it became. Whenever Tom told somebody to do something and they didn't, they failed. He was the smartest of all of them. Sonny was a bad don, Michael was a monstrous don, Fredo would have been a weak don, and only Tom could have been like the old don. Vito should have adopted him formally, named him Tom Corleone, and passed his Family down to a man who could do the same things he could with it.
