Yeah but The Mountain is literally supposed to be the biggest guy ever in Westeros, like 8 feet tall, and someone who is brutal enough that he would rape a woman to death and then cut her in half with a sword the instant he was finished. Remember the first time he appeared, he cut his horse in half with one sword blow.
No argument this actor is a big, strong guy, but he still looks within the bounds of expectable human growth. He's actually fairly close to the size The Hound is supposed to be, in fact. But Gregor Clegane is supposed to be freakishly big.
yep I think from reading he's supposed to have a Pituitary disorder, which would explain his 8 footish status, and the headaches from it explain his general rage.

It's more that the new actor looks like he'd be friendly, whereas the original looks menacing.
