well, Clegane was unarmed and they were Kingsguards. Gregor's big and strong but he's explicitly stated as not particularly skilful. Plus, without a helmet they could've killed him immediately if they wanted.
Fishfingers232 Well Bronn is clever and fairly skilful but he's no legendary fighter. Gregor isn't that skilful, he's big and strong and intimidating. Against an average-sized person that's a huge advantage but it get significantly less so as the opponent gets bigger. Sandor is big enough himself that Gregor's extra size isn't that much of an advantage, while Sandor is far more skilful than Gregor (he's known as one of the best swordsmen in Westeros)
I can't imagine any of them ever lasting very long at all. He would definitely kill them at any slight minor inconvenience and not even that. He would probably kill them just for fun. That squire was probably utterly petrified of him.
James Saunder Loras is a knight who rides into battle and is supposedly great with a sword (double entendre?). I think Renly who gets queasy at the sight of blood is the bitch in that relationship.
Notice how in this scene the characters are all wearing authentic full suits of armour, then in later seasons it's just all bits of chainmail and leather...
Also the men's hairstyles looked more medieval, shoulder-length (and it's not just a fad at the time of the story, because the flashbacks to young Ned clearly show the same hairstyle) which disappears by the final series.
1:59 That look Ned does at Littlefinger after he puts his hand on Sansa's shoulder is the kind of acting details that made the first seasons even greater
Ned’s sitting there going “I just choke slammed you against the walls of your brothel for insulting my wife wtf do you think I’ll do to you if you dont keep your hands off of my daughter?!” And Jon nearly finished what Ned started years later *sigh* Wish he did.
stop this madness in the name of your king........ then the hound no look kneels while simultaneously dodging the mountains sword......... Hound boss level over 9000
+Gist432 He has really good instincts too, even Tyrion notices this as he positions himself against the sun when fighting Oberyn, But yeah its his strength and height (he's supposed to be around 8 feet tall) as well as the fear factor which makes him so good primarily.
ResolvedTwo Don't get me wrong, I would never underestimate such an opponent (I am also large and strong, but have no real fighting skill).. little does it matter though as there are few who even challenge me. The ones who do are intoxicated somehow, and they make easy prey. Would I ever meet a skilled (and sober) fighter though, I would get put down easily. Then again, I would never have a problem with such a character in the first place... damn, I digress.
What? No, he's not TWELVE feet tall, Jeezus, that would make an inhumane giant, it says he's closer to 8 feet than to 7, so basically a bit taller than 7'6", which is already fucking huge
10 years on and I still think Conan Stevens Mountain was the best one of the 3! He just had that 'pissed off bad guy look' that the mountain needed. Such a shame he took that hobbit role.
I know!! That was the biggest mistake he could have ever made. But who would have guessed GOT would have been a cultural phenomenon and the Hobbit would have...flopped in a sense. Conan was the only actor who really pulled of the Mountain. The second one was too skinny and the third had a baby face lol.
It's funny he in 2 shows around this time and only for like 3 eps at max. He was in Spartacus Vengeance as Sedullus...who dies in one episode. But God he had such a good look for this show smh
Literally leaves women screaming in pure terror. Granted, the Mountain generally caused that reaction anyway, so he probably doesn't notice the change...
I LOVE how Robert is not disturbed by gregor beheading his horse, but the inconsequential duel of gregor and sandor as it reminds him of his rebellion. He is stunned by it right before he orders them to stop
Sigurd Torvaldsson That's good to know. Here's another thing I'm wondering. If the mountain went to trial and then won in a trial by combat, and then committed another crime and went to trial again, would he be able to do another trial by combat? The answer is probably yes, but it's funny how in that case, he could do whatever he wanted, unless someone were to finally best him.
James Do It's a fucked up system. But usually trial by combat is only used when there are little evidence to prove someones guilt. If he just randomly crushed someones skull in front of everyone there is no way he would be able to get trial by combat
TotallyNot aCreep in a fight? Are you serious? Maybe before Robert became king, but at this point he was nowhere near his prime. And even in his prime he might not beat the hound
Rupert Steffler Robert was known as a ferocious warrior with incredible strength and a giant warhammer. I'm pretty sure prime Robert would beat Sandor.
So it's fair enough to say that Renly and Loras really wanted to hide their homosexuality but honestly a flower and a white horse is as gay as it gets haha.
Well, the hound is joffery's sworn shield, and he's going toe to toe with the greatest fighter in the seven kingdoms. So while I do agree with you on a certain level, acknowledging the hate between the brothers and the fact Sir Gregor has always looked down on Sandor, I too would be grinning I think. It would be too sweet to see the Mountain be humbled.
As a knight of a hold-fast, Gregor could have killed Ser Loras -- then? In response to any accusation of murder, he has the right to demand Trial by Combat, which cannot be denied. It's why Knighthood is often sought out by Small-folk whom cannot afford arms-and-armor. Otherwise, if they're accused of a crime -- a Lord can often have them executed without so much as a trial or right to defend themselves against a dozen guards.
Whistle blown and flags thrown on the field. “Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Defense #69. After the play was over Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Offense #1. These penalties offset each other, replay first down.” Looks at Gregor’s Horse. “You may need to call a timeout Ser.”
I just hunk how awesome it was when the hound just played that entire scene cool as fuck by ducking and kneeling to the king at the same time that was some real gutsy shit
Yeah, it shows his dedication to his king is greater than his dedication to life itself. In today's terms, we might say he kneels down before his king like a boss.
Fun fact: in real world tournaments the horse of the rider could often be a part of the wager, so sometimes the loser of the joust would deliberately lame the horse out of spite before handing it over to the winner. Killing the horse however could result in endettenment, time in the jail, time in the stockades, loss of holdings (if they had any), or worst of all having their knighthood revoked (more common a possibility in absolute monarchies where an attending king could do it on the spot if they we're offended enough.)
Love the difference between the Clegane brothers when Robert tells them to stop. Sandor takes the knee, showing his seriousness of being a knight. While his brother, acting like a child, storms off to through his tantrum somewhere else. I would have loved to see more interaction between them in the series!
Funny how Loras's tournament armour is ornate, finely crafted and pristine with a glimmering shine. Then you have Ser Gregor who looks as if he's just raided a scrap heap or iron-monger's workshop and thrown on the first sh1t he came across.
Regardless how heavy plate armor is, most of the armor is distributed to make the person not be weighted down too much by the heavy armor. Literally many people like Skallagrim, Shadversity have spoken about armor being heavy which isn't as people can run and do all this and that easily even if it's heavy.
@@JonCombo The actor might legit have been too heavy for the horse for insurance and health and safety of the animal, even if the armor is plastic/for show. So go with a smaller actor that cuts down on fifty pounds.
I think it's worth saying how highly Jaime thought of Loras. Jaime at this point was considered one of the greatest living swordsmen, with perhaps only Barristan Selmy being his equal. And Jaime thought Loras had the potential to be just as good as he was. "He's me, Jaime realized suddenly. I am speaking to myself, as I was, all cocksure arrogance and empty chivalry." "If I must go, Ser Loras will command here in my stead." Jaime and Loras were the first Kingsguard since Robert's Rebellion to form a real brotherhood. Loras volunteered to cover Jaime's vigil so he could rest. Jaime respected Loras' skill and feelings for Renly. Jaime genuinely became something of a mentor to Loras. Jaime stops Loras from taking revenge on Brienne for Renly's murder, and convinces him to talk to her, trusting in his wisdom to see the truth through his grief. It's an interesting relationship to watch bloom in the books, one I'm sad we didn't see more of in the show (some of my fav parts of the book are Jaime acting as Lord Commander), and one I hope to see more of in the books if George EVER FINISHES THEM!
112steinway It's funny. Seconds before reading your post I also read two other commentors reply to other GOT posts I made on RUclips filled with spoilers on season four. thank you, for your courtesy
Someone tell me again why they changed the Mountain's actor twice. This guy is what I see when I think of The Mountain. The new Mountain looks to "friendly".
Unfortunately Conan Stevens (this actor) had scheduling conflicts following Season 1 to play in "The Hobbit" and Ian Whyte, (who appeared in Season 2) was already on the show cast as the White Walker so he filled the gap between bringing on Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (don't ask me how to pronounce that) for the Third Season. It really is too bad that Stevens left as I think he captured the character the best but the new guy is similar in appearance, just looked like he decided to shave haha
To any who has watched LoTR: The Fellowship of the Ring, the sound of the horse as its head was chopped off was very similar, if not completely the same as the cave troll's pained cries in the Mines of Moria scene.
Deep Night It's Gregor Clegane. A man who cracked open an infant boy's head against a wall, before raping the helpless mother and killing her as well. He has no pity, and his lust for violence is legendary. He doesn't view humans as living things that deserve compassion. If he's angry, he's angry, and the only way he can solve that anger is by killing something, whether it's man or beast.
When Sandor and Gregor clash even Joffrey knows that's the real deal, not some Knight of Flowers. Still, 3:03 is my favourite moment. You can see who the real knight is and who's the thug, even though Sandor was never knighted and Gregor was.
Those two King's Guard knights would've backed off automatically if Robert didn't say anything. The only one who'd impede Gregor's path is Ser Barristan.
hollywoodwerewolf Going by the books, not likely. The only one that might have backed off would have been Boros Blount. There were two vs 1 and Gregor did not have his great sword.
Robert MacPhee not dying. The only GoT actor that died prematurely is the actor of Ilyn Payne (the executioner). I cant remember the exact reason why they replaced the Mountain’s actor, but it was not something dramatic. Its a shame really, I feel that the actor in this vid (the first actor, this is season 1) was the perfect match. He makes the Mountain look like merciless, raging brute.
omegastar19 Wilko Johnson (actor who plays ilyn payne) is still alive, but he was at one point diagnosed with terminal cancer so he stopped appearing in the show...but he's getting surprisingly better and might reappear
+Mark Reilly The first recast, you'd find him conversing with Tywin in Harrenhall. The scenes include Arya as Tywin's cupbearer. That dude looked like an idiot for the role.
This was my favorite Gregor Clegane actor. Looks older and taller than Sandor, and ruthlessly belligerent-scary as fuck. 2nd Gregor looked calmer and more level-headed than Sandor, and last Gregor looked much shorter and younger than Sandor.
What! He didn't bow to save his life. Sendor cleagane is one of the few people that has actually the ability to beat the shit out of Greagor Cleagane. He instantly obey the order because he's supposed to. Joffery calls him a dog even when he wasn't the king and still he did everything Joffery asked.
Petyr: A hundred gold dragons on the mountain! Renly: I'll take that bet. Petyr: Now what will i buy with a hundred gold dragons? A dozen barrels of Dornish wine, or a girl from the pleasure house of Lys? Renly: You can even buy a friend... OWNED!
Luudh uruk Rhaegar Targaryan crowned Lyanna Stark as Queen of Beauty when he won the tournanent of Harrenhal, that led the rebellion that put Robert Baratheon on the throne
1:49 OMG I didn't notice before! Baelish pointing out "*Your Friend*" as the camera cuts to Loras is to show that Baelish already knew about those two! Renly even showed a very frightened expression. And nobody flicked a finger about that!
I like that Robert first is looking at the brother's dual as something exciting, like when he was a soldier in his golden years, but then He came back to his scences, realizing he's the king and then acting like one.
As I understand it - The Hound was sent to fetch the kid. If he hadn't run - he wouldn't have been ridden down. The kid was stupid. If you can't get where the horse can't go - trying to run from a man on a horse is just stupid. The Hound didn't have patience with stupidity, especially when it cost him extra effort. He sure wasn't going to get off his horse and chase the little shit around. Also - he might not have killed the kid by riding him down - but he did. Arya was all upset about the unfairness of it all but unfairness was something The Hound was used to. .
the best Mountain actor they've had. The newest one is good but looks way younger than he i suppose too. He's great as the Mountain resurrected though.
Original Mountain had the look and demeanor, new Mountain has the size. Well, I guess the new Mountain has the look as well now, but the original actor is still the closest in appearance to what I imagined.
love how everybody's watching hound v mountain like "how long can we sit and enjoy this mad shit until someone *has* to say something" - especially Robert XD
Yep, the hardened Sansa now is cool, early Sansa was such a prissy damsel in distress that she ranks lower than Rickon, who I didn't even know existed at the time!
I know im late. But sansa only really changed season 6. And the chang was hella fast. Like the next episode she turned badass. Same for arya quite stupid tbh. I would call out bran on it aswell. But he actually did become someone else.
Y'know just knowing what I know now about the series and how uncomfortable and grief-ridden Ned looks as Loras gives Sansa the rose just hits me right in the feels
Years before this, at a Tourney at Harrenhall, Rhaegar Targaryen (pretty boy like Ser Loras) gave a winter rose (like the white rose here) to Lyana Stark (like Sansa here). Basically, it was the catalyst for Roberts Rebellion, which claimed Ned's dad (killed by the King for 'treason') and older brother Brandon (who tried saving his dad), and Lyana got kidnapped/left. ... and what happened in this series? Ned killed (by the King for 'treason'), Robb killed (trying to save his dad), Arya gets kidnapped. [Quite vague connection, but history looks to be repeating slightly].
You can tell here how great the dialogue and quips were. Men of wit and strength. Real acting and a great script. Renly and little fingers back and forth was so unique but not hammy.
This was my favorite scene when it happened. At the time I didn't know the Hound was about to steal everyone's heart and looking back this was an incredibly suspenseful scene
csanchezcuba I'm not sure what has happened between you two or if there are some deleted comments, but from what I can see, he didn't make any grammar mistakes.
csanchezcuba What the fuck just happened? It didn't appear as if he made any spelling or grammatical errors. I could understand his comment easily. Were there any deleted comments?
Yes they deletted their comments out of shame, when i expossed them. Stop bursting into months old comments cursing people for no reason, you inmature fucks.
+Bradley S I've been hoping they do a follow up series showcasing the Targaerian reign and up to Roberts Rebellion. I'd love to see the mad king and Rheagar in the flesh. Plus it just sounds like a great story.
Ned: 'he rides well'
Poor Ned, always so wise.
Obviously wasn't talking about his horse riding skills no
"Lots rides well*turns around*Right Renly?"
its so subtle aswell! ingenious!

-Let him go!
Guards:- Oh, thank Goodnes!
well, Clegane was unarmed and they were Kingsguards. Gregor's big and strong but he's explicitly stated as not particularly skilful. Plus, without a helmet they could've killed him immediately if they wanted.
Robert R Even Bronn was scared of him, probably only Jaime Lannister with his hand or a young Ser Barristan would be a match for him.
Fishfingers232 Well Bronn is clever and fairly skilful but he's no legendary fighter. Gregor isn't that skilful, he's big and strong and intimidating. Against an average-sized person that's a huge advantage but it get significantly less so as the opponent gets bigger.

DutchPool cuz that just kills instantly while stabbing an unarmed, unhelmeted guy in the face doesn't :P
What I love about this scene is as soon as Gregor yells "Sword!" His Squire is hauling ass to give it to him like it's a regular day occurrence.
I can't imagine any of them ever lasting very long at all. He would definitely kill them at any slight minor inconvenience and not even that. He would probably kill them just for fun. That squire was probably utterly petrified of him.

“Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Defense #69. After the play was over Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Offense #1. These penalties offset each other, replay first down.” Looks at Gregor’s Horse.
“You may need to call a timeout Ser.”
Lmao, it wasn't fair and square, Loras was cheating.
3:03
I love how this was written in book 1; Ned describes Robert using what I'd call his "commander's voice" to get the Cleganes to listen to him.
I just hunk how awesome it was when the hound just played that entire scene cool as fuck by ducking and kneeling to the king at the same time that was some real gutsy shit
Yeah, it shows his dedication to his king is greater than his dedication to life itself. In today's terms, we might say he kneels down before his king like a boss.
I don't know where my iPad's auto correct got 'hunk' from 'love
Sandor fucking clegane, man. Dude's a true knight (ironically)
fluffyzhangfei i love how he would never accept a knighthood because he thinks they're all false knights.
fluffyzhangfei sad hes is going the die next episode
Only Robert could get the fucking Clegane Brothers to not kill each other.
Fun fact: in real world tournaments the horse of the rider could often be a part of the wager, so sometimes the loser of the joust would deliberately lame the horse out of spite before handing it over to the winner. Killing the horse however could result in endettenment, time in the jail, time in the stockades, loss of holdings (if they had any), or worst of all having their knighthood revoked (more common a possibility in absolute monarchies where an attending king could do it on the spot if they we're offended enough.)
Just came here to see The Hound bending the knee and at the same time dodging the sword lmao
Love the difference between the Clegane brothers when Robert tells them to stop. Sandor takes the knee, showing his seriousness of being a knight. While his brother, acting like a child, storms off to through his tantrum somewhere else. I would have loved to see more interaction between them in the series!
He is no Ser
Literally the next season the Hound says “Fuck the King” and deserts his post 😂
Funny how Loras's tournament armour is ornate, finely crafted and pristine with a glimmering shine. Then you have Ser Gregor who looks as if he's just raided a scrap heap or iron-monger's workshop and thrown on the first sh1t he came across.
you do know gregor wears the heaviest and strongest armor in westeros
Aprokind I've heard. Plate armor over chain-mail over boiled leather. So heavy that only a beast can wear it.
@@smackedinthejaw May the Maker watch over you.
Regardless how heavy plate armor is, most of the armor is distributed to make the person not be weighted down too much by the heavy armor.
Literally many people like Skallagrim, Shadversity have spoken about armor being heavy which isn't as people can run and do all this and that easily even if it's heavy.
O
Season 1 had the best actor for the Mountain.
Didn't look very big on the horse, I wonder if it was a stunt double riding.
@@JonCombo The actor might legit have been too heavy for the horse for insurance and health and safety of the animal, even if the armor is plastic/for show.
So go with a smaller actor that cuts down on fifty pounds.
Yep, he was soooooo scary, I really wouldn't Like to fight against him! Funny thing if you think about how nice the actor actually is 😂
Ned " ser Loras rides well "
Renly " if only you knew"
Robert: Let him go!!!
Guard: Damn, I was about to get that little monstrosity.........
I bet that was exactly how he told it to his comrades, later.
Not guard. Kingsguard. They still shit their pants though.
JaggSauce
Like a chastity belt?
JaggSauce
armour for cunts --> chastity belt?
That's what actually Selmy thought. He would've rekt the mountain.
even joffrey was hyped for cleganebowl
I think it's worth saying how highly Jaime thought of Loras.
Jaime at this point was considered one of the greatest living swordsmen, with perhaps only Barristan Selmy being his equal.
And Jaime thought Loras had the potential to be just as good as he was.
"He's me, Jaime realized suddenly. I am speaking to myself, as I was, all cocksure arrogance and empty chivalry."
"If I must go, Ser Loras will command here in my stead."
Jaime and Loras were the first Kingsguard since Robert's Rebellion to form a real brotherhood. Loras volunteered to cover Jaime's vigil so he could rest. Jaime respected Loras' skill and feelings for Renly. Jaime genuinely became something of a mentor to Loras. Jaime stops Loras from taking revenge on Brienne for Renly's murder, and convinces him to talk to her, trusting in his wisdom to see the truth through his grief.
It's an interesting relationship to watch bloom in the books, one I'm sad we didn't see more of in the show (some of my fav parts of the book are Jaime acting as Lord Commander), and one I hope to see more of in the books if George EVER FINISHES THEM!
Lol “let him go.” Like they were gonna stop him otherwise.
NO NOT THE HORSIE! Oh god this must be the most bloody moment they could possibly show on this whole show.
You haven't watched the rest of the show then have you?
112steinway lol. I'm all caught up. It was just a joke. What advice would you have given me if I was serious?
MadameTamma Advice? And risk spoiling everything? Not a chance!
112steinway It's funny. Seconds before reading your post I also read two other commentors reply to other GOT posts I made on RUclips filled with spoilers on season four.
thank you, for your courtesy
MadameTamma Not a problem. Enjoy season 4.
0:06
Ned: Oh no please don't don't... phew.
In his family it is bad xd
He remembers what happened when prince regha choose lyanna 😂
@@MacNchess97 I think he meant Loras giving the Rose to Ned tbh, funny asf either way
2:40 the sword magically appears in the Hounds hands lmao he is that good
Oh my god It does xD
No, he had it, look closely at his right hand while he's in air
1:44 And tell me Lord Renly, when will you be having your friend *smirks*.
Someone tell me again why they changed the Mountain's actor twice. This guy is what I see when I think of The Mountain. The new Mountain looks to "friendly".
I think the new actor is ok. He is much larger than this one and he looks more moronic, which adds more mindless brutality to his character.
Unfortunately Conan Stevens (this actor) had scheduling conflicts following Season 1 to play in "The Hobbit" and Ian Whyte, (who appeared in Season 2) was already on the show cast as the White Walker so he filled the gap between bringing on Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (don't ask me how to pronounce that) for the Third Season. It really is too bad that Stevens left as I think he captured the character the best but the new guy is similar in appearance, just looked like he decided to shave haha
did you see todays episode lol GG Oberyn's head.
Matthew Halcrow I know right. I cant bear to SEE it.
Jericho Swain I fucking started to cry when it happened :/
To any who has watched LoTR: The Fellowship of the Ring, the sound of the horse as its head was chopped off was very similar, if not completely the same as the cave troll's pained cries in the Mines of Moria scene.
Eddard: they have a cave troll!
Deep Night I despise people that are shocked at the death of animals but don't give a fuck about hundreds of people dying.
Deep Night It's Gregor Clegane. A man who cracked open an infant boy's head against a wall, before raping the helpless mother and killing her as well. He has no pity, and his lust for violence is legendary. He doesn't view humans as living things that deserve compassion. If he's angry, he's angry, and the only way he can solve that anger is by killing something, whether it's man or beast.
IronRAVENxvx You're right!!! they must've distorted the sound!
Quantum Craze Yea he isnt human complete psycho. I also love the way the hound smirks when gregor gets dismounted by loras at 1:37.
The DAD look on Ned's face when Loras gives Sansa the flower😂😂😂😂
MAN THIS WAS THE BEST GREGOR CLEGANE! THE BEST MOUNTAIN WHY DID HE HAVE TO CHANGE
When Sandor and Gregor clash even Joffrey knows that's the real deal, not some Knight of Flowers. Still, 3:03 is my favourite moment. You can see who the real knight is and who's the thug, even though Sandor was never knighted and Gregor was.
Lol, Ser Loras is one of the most skilled swordfighers in westeros he even defeated Jamie Lannister many times.
+TheRagnaROCKANDROLL No, like i said it is known that he defeated jamie many times at a 1vs1 duel...
That kneel actually saved him from that sword swing lol
Well... He could have parried that swing. I think it was very lucky that it went right over his head.
+Budger He defeated Jaime in jousting tournaments but a serious 1v1 sword duel Jamie would've stomp
King; Let him go!!
Random Guard; Thank God....
Those two King's Guard knights would've backed off automatically if Robert didn't say anything. The only one who'd impede Gregor's path is Ser Barristan.
hollywoodwerewolf Going by the books, not likely. The only one that might have backed off would have been Boros Blount. There were two vs 1 and Gregor did not have his great sword.
Oberyn Martell You better watch out for what he can do without a greatsword ;)
Isn't one of those guards Meryn Fucking Trant?
jestemwlodzimierz Hah! A Thai Ladyboy could take on 5 Meryn Trant!
3:05 is such a cool scene when he kneels down and then dodge the swing, I rewatch this every time just for that moment
The magic of early Game of Thrones...
Another actor!? I'm beginning to think Ser Gregor is one of the Faceless Men of Bravos...
Copacetic the actors kept dying or something similar
Robert MacPhee not dying. The only GoT actor that died prematurely is the actor of Ilyn Payne (the executioner). I cant remember the exact reason why they replaced the Mountain’s actor, but it was not something dramatic. Its a shame really, I feel that the actor in this vid (the first actor, this is season 1) was the perfect match. He makes the Mountain look like merciless, raging brute.
omegastar19 Wilko Johnson (actor who plays ilyn payne) is still alive, but he was at one point diagnosed with terminal cancer so he stopped appearing in the show...but he's getting surprisingly better and might reappear
@@Rajamitaj At this point with only 6 episodes left if he were to appear it would be when Arya kills him that is if she still has him on the list.
@@omegastar19 And this actor is 2.16 m (!) tall. The following two "only" reached 2.06.
He was the best "Mountain" actor for me.
+Silvio Peters I never even noticed the actor in this scene is different from the actor in the Prince Oberyn battle
+Mark Reilly And there was another. Three actors played the Mountain.
+Mark Reilly The first recast, you'd find him conversing with Tywin in Harrenhall. The scenes include Arya as Tywin's cupbearer. That dude looked like an idiot for the role.
the way they all stop at the voice of King Robert. Man commands the room
This was my favorite Gregor Clegane actor. Looks older and taller than Sandor, and ruthlessly belligerent-scary as fuck. 2nd Gregor looked calmer and more level-headed than Sandor, and last Gregor looked much shorter and younger than Sandor.
I love how, when the king objects, the one man instantly bows, saving his life as the other guy's sword goes over his head.
The bow didn't save his life. He is skilled and he was aware of that even if he bowed the swing was not precise enough to take his head away.
I agree. The mountain is all brute with no techniques and skills
What!
He didn't bow to save his life.
Sendor cleagane is one of the few people that has actually the ability to beat the shit out of Greagor Cleagane.
He instantly obey the order because he's supposed to. Joffery calls him a dog even when he wasn't the king and still he did everything Joffery asked.
the way I see it, the mountain also decided to obey thus trying not killing him on that last swing
@@swfsql nope the mountain took that swing to kill..he's more loyal to the Lannisters IMO
Petyr: A hundred gold dragons on the mountain!
Renly: I'll take that bet.
Petyr: Now what will i buy with a hundred gold dragons? A dozen barrels of Dornish wine, or a girl from the pleasure house of Lys?
Renly: You can even buy a friend...
OWNED!
ROASTED
"And tell me Lord Renly, when will you be having your friend 👉 😏".
Swede Swede
This is so old and different. I feel so much nostalgia. What an amazing story!
I love how this scene sets up good characterisation, like the hound being more than a mean monster and Renly being closeted
I never understood the look on Ned's face when Loras gives Sansa the rose at 00:07 until I found out the story of the tourny of Harrenhal.
The Eternal Vanguard
which story? please tell me
Luudh uruk Rhaegar Targaryan crowned Lyanna Stark as Queen of Beauty when he won the tournanent of Harrenhal, that led the rebellion that put Robert Baratheon on the throne
Good catch, I never noticed that
Sandor Clegane is the best fucking part of this show, the books, and the entire Westeros mythos.
1:49 OMG I didn't notice before! Baelish pointing out "*Your Friend*" as the camera cuts to Loras is to show that Baelish already knew about those two! Renly even showed a very frightened expression. And nobody flicked a finger about that!
I like that Robert first is looking at the brother's dual as something exciting, like when he was a soldier in his golden years, but then He came back to his scences, realizing he's the king and then acting like one.
1:37 - I love the Hound's face at that moment. It makes you forget that he killed Arya's friend. LOL
+Kris Bland He was just happy to see the Mountain get de-horsed.
Kris Bland If Arya's friend lived he would have just been digging latrine pits at castle black anyway
As I understand it - The Hound was sent to fetch the kid. If he hadn't run - he wouldn't have been ridden down. The kid was stupid. If you can't get where the horse can't go - trying to run from a man on a horse is just stupid. The Hound didn't have patience with stupidity, especially when it cost him extra effort. He sure wasn't going to get off his horse and chase the little shit around. Also - he might not have killed the kid by riding him down - but he did.
Arya was all upset about the unfairness of it all but unfairness was something The Hound was used to.
.
the best Mountain actor they've had. The newest one is good but looks way younger than he i suppose too. He's great as the Mountain resurrected though.
nah, the new one is easy best for the part, he may not fit the book version, but like tyrion i think clegane in the tv version is better.
Original Mountain had the look and demeanor, new Mountain has the size. Well, I guess the new Mountain has the look as well now, but the original actor is still the closest in appearance to what I imagined.
new mountain has the strength too, he is in fact one of the strongest men in the world in real life
The new Mountain (Hafthór Bjornsson) is much taller and more powerful, actually he won the 2nd place in last year's world strongman championship.
Conan Stevens is more taller, but Hafthor is much more heavy and strong
love how everybody's watching hound v mountain like "how long can we sit and enjoy this mad shit until someone *has* to say something" - especially Robert XD
This is probably one of the most book-accurate scenes. Everything was just as I imagined it.
2:04 it's like ned want to tell littlefinger " stop talking with my daughter " :D :D
"Stop talking with my daughter and stop stalking my wife."
Lol, I can't believe how much has Sansa changed across the story
Thankfully.
Yep, the hardened Sansa now is cool, early Sansa was such a prissy damsel in distress that she ranks lower than Rickon, who I didn't even know existed at the time!
No one knew he existed, not even Rickon
for real! its like a different person
I know im late. But sansa only really changed season 6. And the chang was hella fast. Like the next episode she turned badass. Same for arya quite stupid tbh. I would call out bran on it aswell. But he actually did become someone else.
Y'know just knowing what I know now about the series and how uncomfortable and grief-ridden Ned looks as Loras gives Sansa the rose just hits me right in the feels
The way The Hound gets on his knee is total badass, like he knew the king would say that and he bowed before Robert even finished the sentence
And he dodged getting hit by doing it. Super cool scene!
So far Loras Tyrell is the only one to beat The Mountain.
Loras cheated though.
Yep his horse was in heat.
Oberyn has beaten him too, even if he died because of his dickheadness
I agree. he actually beat him. If he didn't babble his mouth about his sister, he would of been alive.
He wanted a confession though, that was more important than winning and maybe even his life.
Ned: '... eugh, remember what happened the last time a pretty-boy gave a Stark girl a flower at a joust?' -.- *Rubs face LoTR style*.
Years before this, at a Tourney at Harrenhall, Rhaegar Targaryen (pretty boy like Ser Loras) gave a winter rose (like the white rose here) to Lyana Stark (like Sansa here).
Basically, it was the catalyst for Roberts Rebellion, which claimed Ned's dad (killed by the King for 'treason') and older brother Brandon (who tried saving his dad), and Lyana got kidnapped/left.
... and what happened in this series?
Ned killed (by the King for 'treason'), Robb killed (trying to save his dad), Arya gets kidnapped.
[Quite vague connection, but history looks to be repeating slightly].
Thankfully, Loras's homosexuality is an open secret and giving the flower to Sansa is just an excuse for Loras to see Renly.
HUNDREDS AND THOUSAND OF DEATHD
"Sir Loras rides well". I see what you did there Ned....👀
You can tell here how great the dialogue and quips were. Men of wit and strength. Real acting and a great script. Renly and little fingers back and forth was so unique but not hammy.
Anyone else think The Ned had a real bad flashback when Loras gave the rose to Sansa?
I live the way Ned looks at Petyr while he whisper to her daughter. "I'm going to kick your ass if you don't back away from my daughter"
Robert watching the fighting for a little bit thinking this is the most exciting thing he's seen in years before deciding he should probably stop it
This was my favorite scene when it happened. At the time I didn't know the Hound was about to steal everyone's heart and looking back this was an incredibly suspenseful scene
Those two Kingsguard in the background while they fight just crack me up. They don´t react to the Cleganebowl going on in front of them whatsoever.
I love how Sir Baristan Selmy is just standing behind robert, knowing he is the boss and could easily defeat the mountain if he is asked to. :)
崔晗 You better go and use google translate next time, no one understands that dialect.
崔晗 Still, we can barelly understand what you are trying to say. SORRY.

I'm not sure what has happened between you two or if there are some deleted comments, but from what I can see, he didn't make any grammar mistakes.
csanchezcuba What the fuck just happened? It didn't appear as if he made any spelling or grammatical errors. I could understand his comment easily. Were there any deleted comments?
Yes they deletted their comments out of shame, when i expossed them. Stop bursting into months old comments cursing people for no reason, you inmature fucks.
1:37 the hound looked so cute, trying to hold that big happy smile in him lmao
Hound Who kept both pups alive. And my god what those two did.
Robert Baratheon is a beast. Cannot wait to see his back story more in season 6.
+Bradley S I've been hoping they do a follow up series showcasing the Targaerian reign and up to Roberts Rebellion. I'd love to see the mad king and Rheagar in the flesh. Plus it just sounds like a great story.
Fuck yes. Bran's flashbacks will not satisfy fans enough.
Hell yeah. That would be awesome.
No backstory so far. :/
No backstory at all
2:59.. Loras be like "Renly, paint me like one of your french girls"
Stealing other people’s jokes
Robert: _"Let him go."_
Kingsguard: _"Thank fuck for that."_
Why is nobody talking about Petyr's witty comeback: "And tell me Lord Renly, when will you be 'having' your friend?"
