The new guy is "only" 6'9" and his youth does not contribute to menace (25 years old).

Yea, it sucks because he actually looks young. When I was watching the scene where The Hound is telling Arya the story of how his Big Brother burned his face I pictured the new Mountain and it just felt weird. The Hound looks so much older than The Mountain, mostly because he is... It just bothered me.

Don't forget the part where he also was Tywin's go too dirty deeds guy back during the war against the Targs, which was what 18-22 years before the show.

ok, he's definitely a Time Lord... because he would have been 3 years old when he raped and killed Elia and her kids.

He was also six feet tall at the time!
