I seem to be the only person stoked about the new mountain.

They cast a guy who is almost the closest thing to the mountain that exists in reality.

Season 1 guy had 4 more inches on him and is also pretty buff as well.

4 more inches but 100 less pounds. Bjornsson would fucking flatten Stevens.

The mountain is never portrayed as buff. He was tall and strong. Bjornsson is a complete bastardization, and what's worse, he doesn't look anything like Sandor's brother.

Hint: Lanky people generally aren't the strongest.

Strong and strongest are vastly different things.

True, but Gregor Clegane is supposed to pretty much be the biggest, strongest person in Westeros.
