Poll: Game of Thrones: Which 'The Mountain' actor do you prefer?

[chikusho]

I got really confused when the new Gregor showed up in the latest episode. When they were discussing who would fight against Tyrions champion, I knew for sure that it would be the most notoriously dangerous man in Westeros, aka The Mountain. But when they cut to the next scene I thought they were introducing a new character.

I really liked season 1 Gregor. He had such an intensity to his character and this crazy look in his eyes that was truly menacing.
The new Gregor seems just a bit too calm and collected in his mayhem. Almost even methodical. Although, he's really fucking huge, which is about all you could ask for.


Anyway, he at least looks similar to the original actor, unlike this new Daario Naharis. Like, couldn't you at least give him the same hair color? They look NOTHING alike.

I actually hadn't even realized they changed actors until I saw somebody mention it, so I honestly don't really care. He looks close enough to the original actor, so I knew who he was supposed to be as soon as his scene started.

I'll say that the first Gregor Clegane had a pretty sweet scene with Sandor Clegane in the first season...and that the two actually looked somewhat like brothers (similar brows).

But this new Gregor Clegane looks much more intimidating with his physique, and the way he totes that massive sword around like a butter knife. Also, he seems a little more...intelligent...than the previous iterations. A more straightforward way of speaking, but still dangerous. He is a military man, after all.

The original just seemed like a dullard throwing a tantrum (which admittedly, he was when he burned Sandor).
