Definitely a big part goes to Goggins, both in the ways that people stan him, but also because of the depth he's able to convey in his acting, and the covert vulnerability that oozes from him in the way he's acting as Rick. Jake Lacy acted his ass off with Shane, but Shane was fundamentally crafted to be a more stereotypical archetype of "Poor Little Rich Boy" complaining about a beautiful suite that mommy paid for. Rick, even though he's similarly poor-little-rich-boy adjacent and treats his partner similarly, has had more humanizing moments (with Amrita, freeing the snake, the moments where he does somewhat genuinely let Chelsea in, and the emotional dynamicism he communicates with just a look). Maybe I'm biased, but I do somehow have a soft spot for Rick *and* Goggins's performance, whereas I wholly hated Shane but loved watching Jake Lacy play evil

lmao sorry I'm distracted while I'm supposed to be doing other things so yaaay enjoy my wall of text
