It's overlooked just how much of a piece of shit Christopher was
When people name evil characters from the show, they often name Livia, Ralphie, Paulie, Tony, whatever. But Christopher gets a pash from people because he was pathetic and his life sucked. But that doesn't really justify him does it? Can anyone named a single nice thing this fuckup did for anyone in the entire show? He doesn't care about anyone except for himself. Even Paulie, for how easy he was to anger and how petty he was, he often swung around and took care of people. His mother, his niece, even Chrissie. He was unstable but he genuinely loved his families (plural). Chris didn't like anyone except Ade, whom he abused, and ratted out. Just think back to that scene where he was considering running away with Adriana. He saw a family with children, and remembered that Ade can't have any, so he decided to let her get killed, how deplorable is that? Can you really blame Tony for putting him out of his misery? He had it a long long time coming.
