If he was just spoiled and entitled he would have a chance to mature and grow out of his mindset and change his behavior and attitude. I think he was only 12 or 13 in the books. Him being treated as special because he was the next king in line, Cercei's garbage parenting, Robert being neglectful and not being the best role model no doubt influenced his shit behavior.

It's funny because good old Jon Snow of all people acted similar to Joff in his early days. When he first got to the wall he would beat the shit out of the other recruits act like an arrogant ass, and demand respect that he didn't earn and then wonder why the other people didn't bow down to him. Basically Thorn's perception of Jon was right at least initially.

I wonder if Joffrey had the potential to be like Jon if had better role models in his life like Ned, Donal Noyle, Aemon..etc or was he just born to be evil because he is the product of incest.
