The Evil Prince: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Stardust (film)|Stardust]]'' has a bunch of evil princes; most notably [[Mark Strong|Septimus]]. Well, should we call them evil, when it is in fact tradition to kill off their brothers?

* Subverted in ''[[Thor]]''. Loki shows all signs of being the evil prince, who wants his brother and father out of the way so that he can have the throne except for one thing..... he doesn't want the throne. He never intended for his Thor to be banished to Earth or for Odin to fall into the Odinsleep, but they did and the throne just dropped into his hands.

* Otwani in ''[[Sheena]]''. He is a modern example as the film is set in then present day Africa. He has his brother Jabalani assassinated so he can become king.

 

** {{spoiler|Continuing the tradition, Ashnard's long-lost son (who would probably be just as evil himself were it not for the [[Morality Pet]] and [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] aspect) has a direct hand in his defeat and death at the end of the game. Averted in that said son was part of the Good Guys and had no knowledge of being a part of a royal lineage at all.}}

* Arthas of ''[[Warcraft]]'' fame. Even though he had lost his soul at the point when he stabbed his own father, he showed a great deal of evil and selfish tendencies throughout the campaign before.

'''Arthas''': [[Face Heel Turn|Succeeding you,]] [[Self-Made Orphan|father]]. }}

* ''[[Crusader Kings]]'', by Paradox Interactive, encourages this type of behaviour, by virtue of the fact that you can ''inherit'' another kingdom.
