(SPOILER ALERT) Rick Grimes is, of course, the main character but as a character, his emotions, feelings, and being a "good guy" have changed over the course of season 1 till 8. If you watched until season 8, (if you actually understand whats happening) Rick starts in season 1 as a police officer. Meaning that he is a person which enforces the law. But when the apocalypse started, it was like anarchy. When seasons go by, Rick starts to reveal his dark side. Rick (SPOILER ALERT) slits Negan throat. Like literally... Although it could be revenge for Abraham and Glenn because they both brutally killed by Negan. But in the new season, Negan started to show his human side and started to feel remorse for people. Even tho there may be a reason to why Rick did what he did, it might just be how the editors want it to be. Luckily Negan survived. Rick is a good character inside but, his sorrow and anger towards most people just take over the other emotions of remorse and human side of him.
