His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- He cares about his dog Sid and cared for his girlfriend Rose until he realized she was evil and part of the Order of the Coagula.
- He was incredibly remorseful for his mother's death when he didn't do anything to prevent it and even took up smoking to deal with the trauma.
- He left Sid in care of Rod while he and Rose went on a trip to her parent's house.
- He felt incredibly guilty that he had accidentally run over a deer on the way to Rose's parents' house, even though it wasn't his fault at all.
- While he did take a picture of Andre Hayworth, Chris was finding out information after being told so by his friend Rod and it made Andre come free from Logan King's control. He also did not try to fight Andre when he grabbed him and tried to apologize for taking his picture. Despite not knowing Andre was trying to warn him.
- He looks for information around the Armitage house.
- When he saw pictures of Rose with various black men, he tried to leave, but got prevented from doing so.
- While Chris did yell at Rose to give him the car keys, it was only because he was scared at the time and had rightful beliefs that the Armitage family is crazy.
- When he got free from the chair after putting cotton balls in his ears to not get hypnotized again, he knocks out Jeremy with a ball.
- He kills the rest of the Armitage family when he realizes their true intentions, ultimately ending their plan to achieve pseudo-immortality.
- He is a righteous killer as he did not kill for fun and only killed the family to stop their plans.
- He did not kill Georgina, instead he watched her run away.
- He also didn’t initially kill Rose right away, he instead however, just ran away and decided to never come back.
- It can also be presumed that he was initially going to call the police on Rose instead of killing her, as he still cared for Rose even after he realised she was evil (though she would have likely deserved to die more than going to the police.). And, had he done that, this would have made him a lot better.
- Although he caused Dean to set the house on fire, there weren't many people inside, except for Jim Hudson and the rest of the Armitage family, so it isn't too corrupting.
- When Chris accidentally runs over Georgina, he picks up her body and takes her with him in the Armitage's car out of guilt of his mother's death, until Marianne possesses her.
- He freed Walter from Roman's control with his camera flash, allowing Walter to shoot Rose and himself to prevent Roman from possessing him again and destroying Roman's brain.
- He stopped Rose from reaching her rifle and while he did strangle her, it was for everything she did and he didn’t have a choice and he stopped strangling her as he was unwilling to kill her, and he later showed sadness and remorse for the fact that he had to kill her.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- He is lethal as while most of his kills are in self-defense and to stop the Armitage family's plans for good, he can still be a bit violent, such as stomping on Jeremy's head when he was already down and strangling Rose when she was shot already. Most of it is justified though because they were trying to kill him and take over his body and Rose was trying to manipulate him again and even tried to make it look like she was in danger when Rod came to rescue Chris in a police car.
