Funny you say that Tarzan. The producers at EB intended that. They wanted to portray a darker image of the prince. More arrogant and ruthless, taking away the youthful charm and sarcasm he had in sands of time.

But if you read up on side stories they explain the reasons. He gaines some of it back in The Two Thrones. Funny enough he has an alter ego within himself that almost makes light of how he was in Warrior Within. Argueing within himself.

I like the way they make the whole story. Havent finished The Two Thrones as of yet. But enjoying it thus far.
