5) Cottonmouth Murders Tone
Pop’s death struck me with the force of an oncoming train. His sudden exit from the show broke hearts, boggled minds and begged the question, “Who will be Cage’s rock now?” Tone, the trigger-happy gangster who shoots Pop, Chico, and Cage through the front window of the barber shop, hurries back to Cottonmouth bursting with pride. Enraged, Cottonmouth roars into his hapless henchman’s startled face before throwing him off the roof upon which they’ve convened.
A screaming Tone becomes acquainted with a car parked directly below, landing with a sickening crash on the car’s roof and dying immediately. Tone obviously didn’t know his boss very well. If he had, he would have known to avoid killing the one man that everyone respected and loved.
Lackeys like Tone usually don’t last very long. He was reckless, impulsive and cruel, qualities to which a calmer, more calculated villain like Cottonmouth doesn’t take too kindly to. Nobody really mourns Tone, because he’s really just a disposable gangster whose only notable act involved killing the one character we wanted to see make it.
