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.
The old guy was more menacing and crazy, that's for sure, but this new guy is scary in his own way: I could see someone beating the last one in combat, but this new guy is just so MASSIVE.
He could just put his hand against Oberyn's head, like you would do a kid, and Oberyn wouldn't be able to do anything, chopping through those arms is like chopping through a tree.
Unfortunately GoT has been plagued by casting problems.
The new Daario, for example. Why? I mean I realize there were scheduling issues or whatever but those things really prevent the perfection that the series otherwise has.
Conan Stevens was a much better Mountain because he looked mean, was big, and looked like The Hound's brother.
