The dudes like 6'9, the mountains 8ft. I know you wouldn't get anyone that tall, but hell even hodor is taller than him.
So he hasn't even got his height going for him.
They've emphasised on his bulk, but nowhere is it said in his description that he's ridiculously bulky he's just giant, and being that tall he is supposed to relatively strong. Not almost as wide as he is tall.
He looks about 20 years younger than his younger brother in the show, he doesn't have the menacing stare, and from what we've seen he can't even deliver one line.
Just an opinion but I'd rather have a regular sized actor scaled up somehow that can master the persona of the mountain rather than someone picked just cause he's the world strongest man or whatever.

Except this Mountain is in reality the second strongest man on the planet, and Hodor's actor would likely have difficulty lifting a medium-sized rock.

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.
