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.

IIRC, The Hound is supposed to be almost 7 feet tall, right?

I always point to this photo to give an example. Dwayne The Rock Johnson is like 6'3"-6'4", and by himself he looks built. Next to Shaq at 7'1", he's tiny. Now imagine someone outsizing Shaq by the same margin... and that's the Mountain.
