Added DiffLines:

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After Hill saves Redding's life despite the Homeboys all shunning him for snitching in order to avert a gang war with the Latinos, Redding comes to accept responsibility for the fact that it was ultimately his fault that Hill's life was ruined.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expressed a distaste for sex offenders in Season 2, though that's long gone by the time Malcolm "Snake" Coyle comes around.



* HateSink: Following [[KickTheDog his murder of Jara]], he's depicted as a loathsome, sociopathic, and arrogant thug whose entire purpose in life is to hound and make things worse for far more likeable and sympathetic characters.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: He starts off as a {{Jerkass}}, but there's hints throughout the first two seasons that Wangler isn't irredeemable, and he briefly bonds with [=McManus=] when he tries to help Wangler learn how to read. After his murder of Jarra, Wangler is portrayed as a purely evil figure and one of the most unlikable in,ages.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not himself but he gets with ''hard'' with this trope when he finds out that even drug dealers and murderers have nothing but contempt for people who hurt children with even Schillinger willing to offer the protection of the Aryans to Hill and Nappa having him brutally murdered for no reason than sheer disgust at his crimes. Truth in television as those who harm or kill children are considered the lowest of the low in prison, to the point that many have to go into solitary for their own safety.

Added DiffLines:

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: At first, he seems like simply a brutish thug; not exactly pleasant, but fairly average as far as inmates go and incarcerated for a relatively minor crime. It isn't until he's alone with Hill that Coyle reveals how much of a monster he really is.

* YankTheDogsChain: He seems to have a brighter future ahead of him once McManus starts to make him go to class... Then Adebisi forces him to stop going and [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope]], he becomes worse than he ever was before.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He comes across as fairly charming and seems about as normal other inmates but he eventually reveals he's ''much'' worse than even Adebisi.

* InappropriateRoleModel: Becomes one to Wangler after Adebisi is temporarily out of commission and definitely the worse of the two, actively making himself embrace his more depraved side. And as horrible as Adebisi was, even he called out Wangler for wanting to rob Rebadow of the money he collected for his sickly grandson. None of the few virtues Adebisi have, such as intelligence, charisma, respect and even moments of sincere kindness, apply to Coyle though as he has no redeeming qualities or standards whatsoever.

It's telling that only Wangler is angry and wants revenge against Augustus and even he is willing to look past it by the end of the season.


Added DiffLines:

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He raped the woman he killed after slashing her throat.
