I think the question is not whether he could straight up overpower them, but more can he actually be stopped or killed at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think FrankenGregor can quite likely be destroyed (e.g. burned, submerged in acid, etc.) but I seriously doubt he can be killed anymore. You see, one cannot kill what is already dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he no longer feels pain, for example, he'd be a lot harder to bring down. Well, he certainly felt absolutely nothing when receiving two big spikes right in the middle of his chest. He just looked at the guy and then ripped his or someone else's head off with his bare hands. Yeah, I don't think FrankenGregor in the show is gonna go down via "conventional" means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I was thinking along those lines as well. UnGregor could, literally, walk across the sea floor from Westeros to the Iron Islands! It would take awhile but he could do it!

TickTak7 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Good catch. Didn't realize it was different at all. As others have pointed out, HBO doesn't cut their own trailers - rarely to TV shows ever cut their trailers; that's more PR / marketing firms etc to do. As for the reason for the change? Who knows. The show version of the line felt consistent with what Cersei was going through. A more firm delivery of the line, knowing that she was finally able to essentially release her trump card in the Mountain. The trailer delivery felt more.... evil, to me.

Whatever force is holding him together is probably not going to stop at any type of damage. The only way he's going down if is his head gets hacked off. It's going to be tough to do that with that much armor and force behind it, I don't think 10 sparrows with maces is going to stop him. They're going to need long spears that can penetrate the armor to stick him enough to slow him down and get the actual kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSmith84 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was quite getting into that scene, so it was disappointing when it just killed one of them. I was expecting (and hoping for) Gregor to kill every one of them but Lancel, to send a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to need long spears that can penetrate the armor to stick him enough to slow him down and get the actual kill. On top of that, he was actually well known for wading into mobs of infantry and laying waste during the war when he was still alive and his massive size meant he was a huge and easily spotted target, and still he lived. If a horde or armed infantry couldn't manage to kill him in all those battles, then a pack of ten sparrows would pose zero threat. Now he has the added advantage of being an undead that feels no pain and is not effected by damage to body or organs. I have no doubt he could walk into the sept and kill every last sparrow in there by himself if Cersei ordered it, not that most of them would stick around that long. The terror effect of something like that showing up and laying about with that sword would have those sparrows running in terror before he managed to kill a dozen. Hell, Lancel's ten sparrows ran and cowered in the corner the minute he grabbed that one guy by the throat, they didn't do shit to help their buddy that was being strangled right in front of them. Robert Strong would make them forget all about their vows to the faith, and the only god they would be praying too is the god of "lets get the fuck out of here!"

With the exception of Lancel, who by his performance at the Blackwater wasn't really that good, none of them seem to be trained fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Mormont Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 This was one of several huge let down in this episode. Butthole fingering and pod-cock grabbing were also disappointing as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illyrio Mo'Parties Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yeah, what's with Pod's dick? What a weird thing to include. I have a feeling that one of the writers saw Pod's actor in the showers and is just making fun of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some padding worn unterneath, that blow might just have left a few scratches on Gregors chest. That idiot sparrow basically aimed for the least vulnerabe spot on a 8 ft guy.

SynthFG Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Scenes and important lines like this are often shot many times with the actor/actress asked to place different emphasis on the key parts, The director and editing staff then view these in post production and select the one they think best fits the tone they want to produce. The early trailers have obviously picked up a different cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I'm not so sure. When I saw the scene again I realized that it was actually four spikes and the spikes were about 5 or 6 inches long. I think the point of that was to show that UnGregor is basically invulnerable now. I'm sure things like fire, acid, explosives, etc. can damage him but probably not more "conventional" means that are quite deadly to mortals. I doubt he feels pain anymore and I doubt he could bleed to death anymore, etc. 3 hours ago, Future Null Infinity said: The first thought when I saw the scene was 'oh man, you can't kill what is already dead', I think that the spike reached his abdomen but he can't die because he's a zombie Me, too!
