In regards to the Gallos, I think that they would have started trouble anyway. Especially Joe Gallo. Al Gallo seems to have fit in well in later years, Larry Gallo died of throat cancer but there was an attempt on his life. Joe Gallo was just looking for trouble in my opinion. Right up until his death he was feuding and drawing a lot of attention to himself and the mob. I ff he had not been killed in Umbertos it would have gotten worse with him.
That I would have to agree with you on. Joey had a screw loose (literally). He could be charming in his own way, but he was a psychotic individual who was a born troublemaker. He couldn't take orders and stay in line. This is a known fact. He was actually diagnosed by doctors regarding this. He had envisions of grandeur for himself and was a very narcissistic guy. One way or another he had to end up badly.
Albert was the most logical and level-headed of the brothers. And for all intents and purposes he went on to live a fairly successful life in "the life."
