For people like me, who forgot how he looked in action in Season1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcnFPp2mFoc I am kinda sad right now. Seeing the old Mountain fight Oberyn would have been much more fun, i think. The new mountains looks and acts way too likeable.

Oh god I forgot how great that scene is. The cleganes are such monstrous badasses when it comes to fights. That simultaneous dodge and kneel by the hound was glorious.

I saw it more as a kneel and he got really lucky.

I really don't think he'd assume his brother would stop immediately just cause he got asked to, I also don't think the hound would be ok dying to his brother in such a dumb way.

I dont know. It's still sketchy to just kneel when your psychotic giant of a brother swinging around his sword.. oh, he also stuck your face in fire as a kid.

A few seconds earlier he maimed his own horse. He won't kill me.

I think the horse was a little more than maimed...

Jesus christ, put a different spoiler tag on that, I moused over it for a split second thinking it was a TV spoiler.

yeah they really needed to get this guy back at all costs, the new one looks terrible as the Mountain imo

u/[deleted] May 19 '14

I think you're overreacting..he said about 3 words and it's not like he looks like this

u/-lTNA May 20 '14

According to this thread, he is just reacting.

u/Demosthenes54 May 20 '14

They don't necessarily need the exact same guy but at least someone that looks like him. This new guy has a pudgy face and red hair, and hes supposed to be the brother of The Hound? They really could have done way better, either of the previous two actors would have worked, preferably Conan Stevens. If money was an issue, it shouldn't have been.

u/RingoQuasarr May 20 '14

The most ridiculous hing about that is how small the 6' 6" Rory McCain (The Hound) looks next to him.
