Personally I prefer the ruthless, power-hungry Ar-Pharazôn. Not everyone has to have a good side to their nature, and I like the idea of the forced marriage for him. No need to tone it down and make it another soppy Aldarion and Erendis story (although that one is interesting in some respects). I don't think that a romance with Míriel needs to come into it. Surely the big guy was obsessed with his plans for world domination, and spent more time with Sauron than he did flirting?
