Well, the word 'articulate' is pretty narrow in the sense that it is usually used to describe one's speech. ANYWAY nm about that.

The key scene I can think of where the original mountain got some screen time and displayed some depth of character was the joust vs Ser Loras where he loses his shit and hacks off his horse's head. I think he had a pretty pissed off, ragey look throughout that entire scene. Isn't it possible that he seemed ragey as fuck because that is what the scene called for?

Suppose for a moment that the old mountain played those harrenhall scenes. In what way could he have come across as being more angry and rage-filled and what have you?

Take one of the scenes where the Mountain picks a random prisoner to execute.

New Mountain: *points* "You." (scene plays out as per normal)

Old Mountain: *GROWL* "YOU!" *spits on random prisoner* *urinates on hotpie's face*

seriously how fucking different could it be. To me it comes down to direction, not acting. The new actor playing the mountain is getting kind of a shitty deal from not having these kickass scenes where he loses his shit and hacks off a horse's head, tries to kill a gay knight, and duels his brother.

this is the man who smashed baby aegon V targaryen head into a wall while his mother watched, then he proceeded to rape and murder her. this is also the man who shoved his little brothers head into a fire for playing with a toy. a feel like a lot more rage is required in every scene.

Allegedly. Until a jury of his peers convicts him, I have my doubts...
