Suggestion: Royal Brat

Fecking Bustards suggested this for this imageless page on the Royal Brat Discussion. Character is Joffrey, presumably from Game Of Thrones, and his expression is just great.

Whew, suggesting caption too: "Ha! I'm better than you!"

Certainly looks like a bratty royal.

For King Joffrey: A face only a mother could love. And even then, she still doesn't like him.

I approve.

Meh. When it comes to personality tropes, I usually prefer an action that expresses the personality trait, not just a look.

So what do you suggest?

I think it could be more clear that he's not malicious. The page says that he's easily manipulated and immature but this guy looks like he might actually be evil. He might be arrogant and petty though so it works for now if we don't have anything better.

The guy actually IS malicious and evil distilled. That being said, I not seeing where maliciousness and evilness exempts him from being this trope.

I'm sorry, but if you're trying to argue that Joffery is not an example, I'm going to laugh in your face. He was almost the Trope Namer, for crying out loud.

I haven't seen the show. All I know is that the trope page says, "Evil Chancellors and the more malevolent breed of Chessmaster absolutely love the Royal Brat, because manipulating him is, well, child's play." The picture doesn't look like he would let any one manipulate him. The Royal Brat is "insensitive" and has "pettiness" and "low wisdom." He's just a brat who's too immature to know any better, not an Evil Prince.

There is a lot more to the description than that and yours is not even the most relevant bit either.

I really like the pic suggested @1. And certainly I don't know of anything better.

Do you have a picture of him being more actively bratty?

The way he composes himself in that chair and the look on his face are very bratty to me. The crown, throne, jewlery, and attire indicate royal status. The image clearly demonstrates the trope in my book.

What EPM said.

The facial expression is clear. to the image.

There have been plenty of votes for the brat, so the image is up, potholed, and tagged.

"His most important features are arrogance, power, pettiness, and a sense of entitlement." Seems like a perfect example to me. I think the objections are missing the point.

Let's see:

Clearly a teenager or younger.

Smug face.

Blings.

Looks good to me.

As for the caption, I got nothing. :P

It seems like a quote of his would be perfect as a caption...the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Hearing nothing, let's lock up.
