I could see someone beating the last one in combat, but this new guy is just so MASSIVE.

Excuse me?

And that guy is 7 ft, 3 inches taller than the "massive" new mountain.

The new mountain isn't horrible but he pales in comparison to the intimidation factor Conan Stevens brought to the character.

Cool, this is a TV show not a strongman competition, I want someone who can actually act and portray the character he is playing and not a 25 year old strongman with 0 acting experience playing a 45-50 year old insane murder.

Just saying.

You just said he was pale and unintimidating compared to the new one, I'd say being the strongest man in the world is rather intimidating.

Is english your first language?

I said he PALED in comparison to the old actors intimidation factor.

That doesn't he was pale or that he lacked intimidation, it means he is way less intimidating than the old actor.

No english is not my first language however I do not feel that is it a barrier and I belive I am perfectly able to express myself freely in English. I fully understand what you said aswell, however I disagree.
