I’ve never seen it. I love the parallel development of young Vito building up the family while Michael destroys it at roughly the same age. I can’t imagine watching all of their respective scenes isolated in chronological order with the first film stuck in between. It would completely destroy the counterpoint that the second film achieves.

I mean yeah that’s true, but if I want to watch the originals I can do that no problem. I don’t really consider the Epic to be the “definitive” edition tbh (let’s be real, not everybody is gonna wanna watch a 6 hour film) but I’m just curious as to how I can watch it again because it’s been difficult.
