Let us overanalyze the Rocky movies....

Rocky marathon is on. And so i figured this would be a good chance to analyze the Rocky films. For example, if Rocky had listened to Mickey when he said not to fight Clubber, perhaps Mickey would not have died the way he did and lived longer. And what is it with him and Adrian? Seems there is alot of tension between the two of them each film. And don't get me started about him and Pauly. Also, for all we know, it was Rocky that got Apollo killed. (Not throwing in the towel when he should have.)
So where do we start???

It was Rocky that got him killed. That's the only reason he fought Drago in the first place because he felt like he owed it to Apollo

How did Rocky not think to endorse every product on Earth after Paulie blew his money in Rocky V? He had already endorsed stuff in Rocky II so this wasn't a foreign concept to him. Clean cut white American Heavyweight champion would make bank.

The more interesting question for me is would Rocky have beaten Clubber the first time if Mickey would not have been dying?
After being reluctant to train Rocky, Mickey seemed somewhat satisfied at the end that Rocky was ready and his last words of advice were to "take [his] time with him".
Rocky was worried about Mickey and not getting good direction from his corner. If Mickey would not have been shoved, does Rocky draw Clubber into the 13th, 14th, 15th rounds and wear him down?

I'd have to say that Apollo is one of the biggest pusses in the history of film. Lost his heart and gave up even though he was in tip-top physical condition, and he seemed fine with it. His "exhibition" match with Drago was doomed from the moment he challenged the Russian and he KNEW it.
Hell, the same thing happened to him in Happy Gilmore.

No. Rocky was a man. He was a fighter. He was a warrior. He owed it to Apollo to let him die a warrior's death.
Apollo, for all intents and purposes, was dead already on the inside.
Rocky, Ronald Reagan's right hand man, then went on a tear of vengeance going into full Stallion mode, chopping the Russian down, conquering Mother Russia, and ending the Cold War.

What good would it have done for Rocky to throw in the towel in Drago vs. Creed? The ref obviously tries to stop Drago when Creed is in the corner and Drago just keeps punching.

i hated the killing of Creed, it didn't make me hate Drago, it made me hate the wrting. I know people feel like it was a great move to add emotion to the fight..but, to me it just didn't fit right.
In Creed's prime he would have smoked Clubber Lang. He would have broken down Tommy by round 5. Drago..I don't know. He also could have easily handled Dixon.
Creed was the most talented and smartest fighter in the series.
Drago was like Kane when Kane first came out.
