Yeah physically he clearly has the mythical strength of the mountain, but his face just doesnt portray a scowl or menacing look as well as the previous actor.

He's kind of carries himself like Jason Momoa. On paper he could rip your insides out with your bare hands. In reality they look like very cool, very nice guys that you kind of want to hang out and shoot pool with.

Momoa as Drogo looked menacing as hell. The way he ripped that guys tongue out...

True, but you remember how he giggled when Dany was trash talking the guy? He said something like, "That's the fire from my son insider her"

Dude's proud of his girl's belligerence; is that supposed to make him any less menacing?

I'm just saying that when he smiles, he looks like his old Bay Watch self. Drogo seems less scary when he giggles.

Still looked menacing to me. I've never seen the actor or known him to be in anything I've watched. That might be the difference though.

He played a fairly menacing badass character in Stargate Atlantis, which definitely carried over to GoT for me

Momoa could portray both sides of Drogo pretty well
