    Paul WAS trained in war and battle. His WHOLE life in fact. He's just never killed, but he CAN, even at the start.

    I actually believe that in this specific situation, you'd really enjoy reading the books. The 6 originals are rich with political philosophy and it is truly astonishing how much more is in the books than in the films. Fundamentally, the books are a means for the conveyance of the philosophy and the films aren't. They can afford to do away with much of the philosophical content because the films are a means for the conveyance of the story plots. But the abundance of political and social philosophies contained in the books areprofound and the diversity of these topics is truly comprehensive. So I really encourage you to read the 6 original books.

    Pretty good video, my g. You could start a series of these and analyze character's machiavellian prowess. I see your channel is new, good luck.

    Wrong version of Paul then, but an interesting idea if applied to the geniune one.

    Interesting analysis, but about Paul not having killed anyone while Machiavelli thought a ruler should be battle hardened, I doubt any Holy Roman Empire leader would risk his only child and heir in a war. Plus, despite the wonderful Timothee Chalamet, the book Paul was 15 years old. A small kid, not a young adult man.
