* AntiHero: He goes back As the series progresses, Rick becomes more pragmatic and forth across unscrupulous, as he seems more and more willing to pull the spectrum as trigger if it means keeping the post-apocalyptic world group safe. It eventually gets to the point where he's exceedingly brutal with enemies and more than willing to kill someone or leave them for dead if he even considers it a possibility doing otherwise could threaten the group, and other characters often have to act as his own morals struggle MoralityChain. This being an exceedingly dark series though, he's still sometimes fallen to reconcile.the point that he's nearly a VillainProtagonist. He remains sympathetic at these times only because his enemies are even worse, most being monsters who happily KickTheDog and cross the Moral Event Horizon every chance they get. By the time they get their dues, you may be wishing Rick was crueler.
