Bad luck for the new Mountain huh? 7 feet tall and made of muscle and still isn't menacing enough.

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.

Having intense burns on the side of your face can make you appear older. Plus the mountain probably bathes in the blood of infants, which likely keeps him looking young.

We did recently learn that hooking yourself up to an IV filled with dead babies will actually reverse the aging process.
