Eddard Blackfyre Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Apologies if another thread has been made but I couldn't see one.Was anyone else just a bit disappointed with his appearance? He's physically very impressive, but his helmet and the overall appearance of his face and eyes seemed to not leave anything open to potential future surprises in the show. Even on my small screen the obvious discolouration was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reservoir Direwolf Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I agree 100%. His appearance was ridiculous. Anyone with even a hint of brain and decent eyesight can tell that something just ain't right with the guy/thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I would've also liked it if he kept the normal Kingsguard attire instead of that gold armor whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Doesn't almost everyone think it's Gregor Clegane anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoamingRonin Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 What potential surprises. U wot 8? It can't be anyone else. Everybody knows who is under that armor. Obvious Gregor is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hol Horse Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I basically said the same thing. There's no subtlety here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphon the Sanitator Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It's a zombiefied Mountain. Duuuuuh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Dinas Emrys Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I found him impressive but I have to agree he is unsubtle, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Targaryen Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well, truth be told, people in the books knew/suspected it was Clegane's corpse as well. But I agree. It was a little too much: blue face and Vader's breath.And yeah, no mystery "head/no head" here. Don't know why they cut his name out though.

Prince of Dinas Emrys Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't think there's meant to be any question about his identity. The "previously" segment clearly established that the thing on the table was the Mountain, and really, who else could it be at that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rise Above Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I felt they handled this incredibly stupid character adequately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Targaryen Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I admit, this was one of two scenes I wanted to see, and I let out a very loud "YES!" of glee when I saw him. On second sight, the greenish tint to his eyes is really cheap looking, but man did that make me happy to see. He still looks very impressive and imposing, and pretty much everyone figured it to be Gregor anyway in the books. He doesn't eat, sleep, drink, or use the privy.

Ser Not Appearing Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It'll be quite the plot hole of the High Sparrow doesn't object and investigate that character based on knowledge of Gregor's fate and his appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldys I Trumpagar Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I felt they handled this incredibly stupid character adequately.+1. The show definitely has to do that a lot. "Sand Snakes," pfffft. I'm just grateful that the entire Aegon storyline has apparently been scuttled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepulchure Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hey guys, I registered just to write about this. I apologise for my possibly bad english, it's not my first language. I was looking at this picture, thinking who this actor may be: http://www.theworkprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/new-member-of-the-kingsguard-gregor-clegane.png I thought it's impossible that it's Hafthor, big difference in size, but then I looked on the left... see that lannister guard? I doubt that they hired next monstrously big actor for that role. Maybe some computer edit that was going to make Hafthor larger to fit new role and they accidentaly made guard bigger? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lena Headey isn't tall. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f0/88/eb/f088eb9cb66b59fd38565e01435b6522.jpgThat helmet adds a lot of height, and he may have some lifts, while she is barefoot. The guard must be like 6'2" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
