I love the Appolonia part. Bc before that, Michael is Americanized with his waspy, college educated girlfriend. The. He returns to his roots and his primal self falls for Appolonia based purely on wanting to bang her and that she’s untouched. Without speaking to her, he arranges to marry her with her father, without discussing it with her. In modern terms, it’s like the guy who pretends to be woke but then… not so woke. Then finding out Sonny was murdered and Appolonia was too, and he’s in vengeance mode.
