>Luca Brasi, my most loyal and trustworthy soldier who will never betray me and all the other families know this, I want you to approach the Tattaglia Family and say you are willing to betray me. Their first reaction will be to kill you but use your famous acting, which you practised at my daughter's wedding, to get yourself out of that jam. Once you have gained their impossible trust report back to me with information that will take years to get. I am sure in this time Sollozzo will do nothing

Well that plan went to shit.

>The most feared enforcer for the Corleone family is a gigantic moron
Kino
irl most of the enforcers were absolute brainlets
"Big guy, but dumb" is a kino trope that has stood the test of time.
The Don was slipping, getting old, Sollozzo said as much. Instead of fishing for information he should have just had Sollozzo whacked out, nip it in the bud
>Their first reaction will be to kill you
They weren't at war yet, this is exactly why Vito underestimates them. Vito probably just wanted to see if they would take the bait at all.
A) You're kind of underestimating how common betrayal was within these circles. Tessio had been with the Corleone family forever and he arranged to have Michael murdered. The Don's bodyguard, who presumably was a guy they trusted to some extent, took a bribe to call in "sick" the day of the assassination attempt. Carlo set up Sonny to get murdered and he was Sonny's fricking brohter in law. And they all did it because they were unhappy with the leadership and wanted more than they were getting, which is the same facetious reason Luca gives.
When people in every level of your organization, including people who are *literal* family, are willing to stab you in the back it's not so crazy that a low-level enforcer with no real prospects for promotion who probably didn't make much might change his loyalties for more money, despite his repuation. And
B) like said, even if they were skeptical, which he had to assume they might be, just straight up killing Luca was the sort of shit you only do if you're prepping for open conflict and the Don didn't think that was happening just yet. He hadn't really antagonized anybody enough to justify a war but Barzini was feeling lucky so he decided to go for it. He probably figured the worst case scenario was they shine Luca on for a little bit and try to extract information from him and then if the shit actually hits the fan Luca drops the act and comes back to the Corleones
Greentext is a Skyrim quest after you do a single favour for Michael
>ah yes, stranger who I just met. Go solve this civil war for me. Surely I can trust you with all of my secrets now.
kek
I just played it through for the first time. Gorgeous and fun game, but it's insane how it rushes you through everything
>Hmmm... yes I think I'll handpick my candidate for top enforcer by how he murdered a poor woman rather than tough hoods
I heard that in the novel Luca Brasi throws his newborn bastard son into a furnace. Why would the Don keep a psycho like that around?
Worse, he forces the midwife to do it with her own hands
Why the frick did he ate the cigar?
The mafia are so fricking cringe. The police should have just went around murdering them all in public constantly
>Michael, my favorite son. I know you trust me absolutely, so trust me and our consigliere and a couple of other guys when I tell you this; that Sollozzo will set up a meeting with someone that you absolutely trust guaranteeing your safety. And at that meeting, you'll be assassinated, unless you can find a way to assassinate them first, maybe by smuggling a gun to a location that's impossible to figure out where is unless they also have a traitor in their ranks. But I digress.
I am sure you'll be able to figure out who the snitch will be, as long as you trust my judgement. Absolutely.
Greatest jobber in film history.
just finished reading the book and this shit has me wheezing. When i first saw this movie i never understood this decision. the book painted him to be some giga demon mob slayer tard strength italian
It was kinda sad in game, because he was your mentor and they killed him in front of your eyes.

>michael goes from some weak pussy beta who all the brothers make fun of to a ruthless mob boss within a few scenes
this movie was so stupid. Goodfellas is better
goes from some weak pussy beta
but he wasn't. He just didn't want anything to do with the family business until it became personal
he tells kay in the first scene he's not like them
they all think he's a pussy and make fun of him, clemenza and all the guys, no one respects him, then suddenly at the end he's bossing everyone around "you're not a wartime consigliere tom, you're out"
he was already back from the war at the start of the movie
>they all think he's a pussy and make fun of him, clemenza and all the guys, no one respects him, then suddenly at the end he's bossing everyone around "you're not a wartime consigliere tom, you're out"
>suddenly at the end
a lot of shit happened in between
yes he goes to sicily and forces the local to let him marry his beautiful daughter
guy can't even tell kay he loves her over the phone in front of the guys and now he's mogging some old school sicilian patriarch
right after that scene they all laugh at him when he says he will go and kill sollozzo and the cop himself
"this isn't the army kid, you gotta get up close and bada bing, blow their brains all over your nice suit"
they laugh because they think it's a crazy idea. They're also morons for thinking that someone who saw combat in war would be afraid to get up close to shoot someone. They underestimated Michael, which is the entire point. Michael had that ruthlessness in him, but he didn't want to show it because he wasn't a moronic greaseball.
it's not "suddenly", they start respecting him after he tanks that cop's punch and keeps silent about it even though it broke his face bones, which shows he's tough and knows the rules, and he only becomes boss after killing sollozzo AND sonny getting killed AND the don personally vouching for him, and even then there's enough discontent about it that tessio defects
dude saw action in WW2 and won multiple medals with his exploits reaching the news, if anything he was the most violent of the sons from the start.
His brothers are morons. Like when they claim that assassinating someone with a gun is somehow more gruesome than what all the shit that Michael has seen in WW2.
Hard to argue that
>>Luca Brasi, my most loyal and trustworthy soldier who will never betray me and all the other families know this, I want you to approach the Tattaglia Family and say you are willing to betray me.
Kek'd you really didn't need to add anymore to this
The funny thing is the Godfather in the books is supposed to be a tactical genius that Michael couldn't even compare to even with years of grooming.
in the novel he's not even a big guy, just a seething manlet with tard strength
for you.
>assassination attempt on father
>got revenge on the killer and fled the country
>brother gets killed while he's away
>enemies found him and killed his wife in an attempt to kill him
yeah, why did Michael become so hardened? It came out of nowhere
>Fredo my cowardly older brother, I'd like you to run our operations in Las Vegas. Be sure to gain the trust of dads former business partner but always remain loyal to me, your master. Now I know you're a family man like myself, so I want you to train the wienertail waitresses, two at a time, so players can get a drink when needed.
>he didn't see the post credits teaser in which Luca's murder is revealed to have been a prank
Who goes to a wedding dressed like this?
Manlet
