Scorpion king 2....?

Question

ok it been awhile since i watched scorpion king 1 but i'm sure THAT WAS before he became the scorpion king because he basically became the scorpion king AFTER he died didn't he?

Answer 1

Scorpion King 2 is based on when the "scorpion king" was a kid.

its sorta like #1 should have been #2 And #2 should have been #1

Answer 2

dont think much would happen between when he became king and then became the scorpion king. he becomes a regular-ish king, he leads a bit, then goes to war, and upon losing, he sold his soul and became scorpion king
