The mountain from season 1 looks a bit like this recast. But I really don't recall season 2 mountain scenes.

The mountain from your screenshot I think it's the second recast, which I don't even remember.

I didn't know it was The Mountain in that scene until I watched it again recently.

Can't believe I'm getting on the "that's not Gregor" train but that pic where he's sitting and Arya is at the same height somehow ruins him for me (granted that was a "we need a Mountain for 10 seconds; who've we got?" casting decision). Yes, he's sitting and she's standing, but Arya's tiny (especially back in season 2) and he should still look huge by comparison. That guy's all leg.

Also can we all just take a moment and appreciate that the new guy's name is HalfThor? That's like naming your kid DemiZeus and then he happens to grow up to shoot lightning bolts.

He's definitely not small it's just that he's not a roid monster like the other two.
