Let’s connect the dots for a second. The o key reason the mountain is still alive is because the maester used a treatment out of the walker experiment. Going back to what we know if the walkers, burning them will kill them. Thus, the mountain died in the fire along with the hound. It was a poetic ending indeed.

The Hound actually won this fight at least three times over had the Mountain been mortal and not already dead. It wasn't a fair fight from the beginning.
Nonsense, I doubt Gregor would let him survived even when he got gutted if he were normal, he'd tossed Hound off the building, this Mountain being a bit slower than his former self and less quick on thought, seemed to more enjoy crushing his brother slowly making a point there was notihng the hound could do to beat him. The Hound losses this regardless of which form of Mountain he was facing
@@nander4341 Sandor would beat him, but living Gregor had a warrior's instinct, and was a formidable foe. He wouldn't let him stab him without a fight.
@@lordeli8866 The Mountain was very, *very* large to the point he didn't *need* skill against most fighters. Against The Hound, however, he couldn't just overwhelm him with raw strength. Even with the additional speed that he'd have while alive, Gregor would probably end up losing to Sandor 7-8/10 times.

They both died, so there's no clear winner. But Sandor managed to overcome his greatest fear, when he tossed himself and his brother down into the fire. If Gregor was still a mortal man Sandor would've killed him without breaking a sweat: He impaled him deep enough to make him bleed out in seconds and he put a fcking dagger in his brain.

@@SirAdamKenna Yeah that's what I was thinking. Being a zombie has made him many times stronger but also made him lose the ability to feel and think. I think Sandor would be the better fighter while it would go just as how it always has for the mountain. If he gets a hold of you you're as good as dead. Sandor is probably no exception to that rule.
Exactly. Sandor has known all his life how evil his brother is, while he unfairly looks normal, he has hideous burns and is feared or seen as a monster yet Gregor is normal looking and his monsterous side is ignored or hidden. And now seeing the shell that his brother is, it's justice in a way, to see that he looks just like he is on the inside: pure evil, with dark eyes that have no humanity in them.
Out of all the characters endings, i feel like this was the most fitting. Their hatred started in fire and ended in it. On top of that, The Hound did more than enough to redeem himself.
Nah they did The Hound dirty as hell. He deserved peace, to spend his life on the quiet isle coming to terms with his trauma and learning how to forgive himself for what he did.
This is highly likely, as the hound would have died instantly from the fall. The mountain on the other hand is so resilient he would have been alive until all the flesh and muscle from his body was burned away
@@RocketSkates777 yeah I'm assuming the impact would've crushed parts of the mountain and made him immobile, head trauma doesnt seem to be much of an issue to him, his basically terminator level here and needs complete destruction to be sure
I think full on bodily destruction is the only way zombie mountain can die. Burning his corpse to ash is one of the few ways this can actually be accomplished. It's possible his body turned into a fine mist hitting the ground after falling such great distance, with such mass. Think of a skydiver. I assume terminal velocity is reached pretty quickly for an object the size of the mountain.
I like how Sandor says “Yeah that’s you that’s what you’ve always been” as if he’s not at all shocked or disturbed by Gregor’s deformation. He’s always known his brother was a monster!
I love the moment beginning at 4:25 when Sandor realizes what he has to do to kill Gregor and in a rush of rage and desperation, he finally gets poetic justice as they both fall into a firey pit.
Given how the Mountain is extremely hard to kill after Qyburns work on him, he probably didn't die right away from the fall, the intense flames more than likely are what did him in. Fitting given how he maimed the Hound in childhood.
I think all the Mountain's bones are broken when he hits the ground and since there's a big fire down there he would end as a pile of bone fragments, charred flesh and any organs he might have left are reduced to nothing more than mush. He's done. He can't move any more and therefor he's no longer a threat to anyone. Regardless of beeing dead or alive at this point the Hound defeated him.
I just realized how strong the hound is to withstand a beating from the fucking Mountain. Oberyn, a full grown man, lost all his teeth from one punch. Clearly, only a Clegane can kill another Clegane. That blood in their veins is monstrous.
It was dumb actually Considering Mountain here is more powerful than ever And he was thumb pressing his throat for long time, it would easily penetrate his skin or broke his throat Now matter how strong a person is, his neck is always vulnerable
@@jimmymcgill2557 the hound had an infection from the bite he got arya even said he was walking alot slower than he use to brienne also had valaryian steel which is much sharper and 50 percent lighter than regular swords plus 2013-14 is when woke feminist shit really started taking off in media in the books the hound would have easily destroyed her
always loved how the hound reacts to seeing his face, not at all surprised or afraid because to him, the mountain had always been a monster. it was probably almost less unsettling than seeing that kind of evil wrapped in a human face
I can even imagine how it would be written by GRRM Something like this "Two brothers, two swords, two different paths, yet both had something in common, their mutual hatred, and right there, at that exactly moment, their paths found each other one last time to end that cycle. Just like it began, here their story finished with the same spark of fire that fueled their hatred. So when Sandor Clegan, aka The Hound, threw himself with The Mountain, their story ended with fire, only that this time, it was the other brother responsable for it"
I hated it. He didn’t care about the mountain anymore. He had moved on and started becoming a better person. More than anything, he loathed what his brother stood for and in the end became a mindless meathead just like him? Then all of a sudden, knowing his bro is going to die soon, he storms the castle to do it himself? So for no reason basically? Please …
@@shambolicrhetoric6143 Fair point, I respect your opinion and agree to some extent. He didn’t need to throw his life away, The Hound should have survived and traveled with Arya to west of Westeros
I like how Sandor takes out those guards in the beginning. Those were Cersei's elite royal guards, not just random grunts. And he dumpstered 4 of them in under 10 seconds like they were nothing. He might not be as huge or as intimidating as his brother, but he's still an absolute beast.
One of the best parts about this fight is that it shows just how strong and skilled a fighter The Hound was. There are several points---including one fairly early on---when he struck what should have been fatal (or at least debilitating) blows even to a man as large and as strong as The Mountain, but because of the freakish durability that the zombification process gave The Mountain, the latter was able to keep fighting past when he would have been able to when he was still fully human.
One thing i've always wondered was if gregor was still him in there, a lot of the community always thought he was just a brainless zombie, but this scene finally confirmed that yes, the mountain still was able to retain his memories, the fact that he decided to not listen to cersei and qyburn shows that he recognizes the hound and his desire to fight him was stronger than any other emotion, which im glad because i was hoping this last fight was wanted by both parties rather than the hound fighting a zombie with no recollection of him lol
I think that Gregory’s personality asserts itself more here because he’s in the middle of the chaos of battle, which is what he lives (well, lived) for. When he met Sandor before in the season, there was no real reaction, but in the midst of carnage and slaughter, Gregor remembers…
I don't really like thinking of The Mountain as a zombie. I think he's more like Frankenstein's monster at this point. Zombies really can't think...and Gregor proved a couple times he still could to a limited degree.
@@sheepisfortheweak6164 killed his own soldier for snoring at the campsite by bashing his head with a rock. Killed a baby that was crying in front of the mother then killed the mother all with a mace. Cut body parts off his prisoner and fed it to him after cooking it
I love the irony, he got what he wanted for all his life. While hugging his brother. And falling into flames. At least one thing feels right about the whole season.
Really? Man comes back from the brink of death, has teachings of forgiveness and pacifism instilled in him by his saviour, he begins to turn back to violence and vengeance when his saviour is killed, tries to do justice with brotherhood instead, embarks on the ridiculous mission beyond the wall, somehow survives the Long Night, then allows Arya to travel the entire 1650 mile journey with him to King's Landing, gets with her INTO the Red Keep's upper rooms, and only THEN tells her not to let herself be consumed by vengeance, which by killing Trant, saying "fuck you" to the faceless men, and massacring an entire noble house, has already happened. Then to contradict his message to Arya, he goes and fights a pointless fight with his already close to dead brother in an already collapsing Red Keep and burning city as if it it achieves anything except fan service of the shallowest variety. Him returning to the show had literally no affect on the ending at all. It's by far the worst episode of the show, but this scene is still nowhere near as horrifically bad as "To be honest I never really cared for them... Innocent or otherwise."
@DariusOfPersia really? Bronn's? Getting made the Lord of the strongest region of westeros and getting appointed the master of coin, a position he has no qualifications for?
@@mappingshaman5280 Being Lord of the Reach, which is essentially the richest of the seven kingdoms, is qualification enough for being Master of Coin. The Tyrells were all gone, so I really don't see the issue with Bronn being made lord of Highgarden and Lord Paramount of the Reach.
That line is a very underrated line in the series. The time I saw this scene and line really gave me the chills. The Hound always seen his brother’s face the same way as remorseless and evil.
I love the shot of Gregor staring down the stairs at Sandor with his blood red eyes deep in his helm. It fits the Mountain so perfectly. All he knows is violence, exacted on people he deems lesser than him, and now here's the first person he truly hurt, coming to collect a debt of pain. Gregor can't help but stare down at him,
as we see, if Gregor hadnt ben made into an undead monster like this, Sandor would have won with that stab through the torsoe. i believe the reason he hated his little brother was because at some point he realised that Sandor had surpassed him. Gregors vicious nature got him favored over Sandor but deep down he allways knew that his little brother was better than him.
The Hound was my favorite character in this story, hands down. He had a way with words, some of the best dialog comes from interactions with Sandor. And threatening to kill someone by eating chicken, instant classic.
I didn't like the Hound at the beginning of the show but I grew to love him as one of my favorite characters. I wish he just cut off the Mountains head but spearing him thru the wall was pretty badass.
Cersei was a fool to think she could ever really control that monster. It was only a matter of time until he killed her as well, and I don’t doubt she’d still try to command him up to her last breath. It’s funny actually. My brother told me once that it’s possible for people to have an above average (or even genius level) intellect, but at the same time have absolutely no common sense. That describes Cersei to a T. She was cold, calculating and ruthless, but also arrogant, petty and shortsighted. She thought she was the best choice to sit on the iron throne, but she never really had what it took to rule. If she’d won, she’d have run her kingdom into the ground in less than a year.
@@nevadaaguilar2062 The only one here that will turn the kingdom to ashes is Daenerys, maybe Cersei at first will have problems as ruler but in the end she could do good, the only problem of Cersei was the people around her, but that's all
I love that the Mountain shows absolute loyalty to his Queen throughout the series doing anything for her...but when it comes to his hate for his brother, even her command can not stop him. Literally nothing gets between family 😆
Tbh Jorah and Theon were dope I kinda like how he actually let go of his obsession with Dany and died a better man And Thon, he finally got accepted by someone else and died knowing all his crimes were forgiven
@@aerdwolram3938 To be fair, he was exhausted from fighting dozens of wights (you could see it during his final battle scenes before he charges the NK like a badass).
@@aerdwolram3938 my problem is i wish he died for something, instead of whatever the fuck bran was in the last season. I accept he will be kings in the books, but hed earn it.
The Hound overcoming his two biggest fears in his life. Fire and his brother to finally take out his brother is truly amazing. The final season was not great but this moment was done a amazingly well.
The same happened to Theon, in the end of the day, The Starks accepted him again even after he betrayed them. Even Bran called him a good man. He died for what his role is supposed to be: Serving to the Starks.
The hound landed on the mountains body, immediately destroying it (blowing up into multiple pieces), the body absorbs all the impact, enabling the hound to survive the fall.
@@TheRafark even if Sandor landed on undead Gregor, fire still destroyed them both. I'd be happy if the Hound survived this but he's gone. They're both gone.
I love it that the move that frees The Hound in the end and allows him to get his revenge, is what Arya told him: "One day, I'm going to put a sword through your eye, and out the back of your skull".
Good catch, forgot all about that. I took this as the hound being brutal enough to go for the eyes, just like his brother. Throw in a little bit of the Mountain favoring the eyes because he knows its a great weakness (of his own as well).
3:47 this is my favourite bit of the entire fight. In his own way, Sandor knows he’s done everything he can and it’s still not enough… the fact his reaction is a chuckle tells you everything you need to know about the man. Absolute badass through and through.
yea well thats all do to his sheer size and strength. he was just so hard to go up against. the dude pulled a dagger out of his damn head. I would suspect after that he would have died, between all the stabs and the sword through the gut. But who knows.
Sandor had one more card to play, but the writers didn't do it because they winged the season due to no source materials Sandor could've beheaded Gregor, which would've stopped the fight, I mean Gregor clearly knew those around him, and faced him the Hound ignored his duty for a feud
This version of the Mountain was absolutely terrifying. Up until that point, I thought he was a mindless zombie. Then his hatred for Sandor broke through the mental conditioning, and suddenly here I was, watching an undead Gregor, completely silent with no facial expressions, and impervious to pain and injury. Downright the most horrific character in the show.
For all the things they might have gotten wrong in the eighth season, I personally feel this is one moment they got right. Only Gregor Clegane's raw, primal hatred for his brother could have overriden his loyalty to Cersei.
Really? The writing is terrible. Sir Gregor, stay by my side! The conversation, or at least the few words there are, have no impact at all. How low this show has sunken.
I think what adds to this even more when the mountain looks at Cersei like “woman what?”. We hear a heart beat, which I think seeing the hound at that moment. Brought The Mountain “back”. Plus with the dragon fire in the back ground shot.. I think even more implying the burning hatred he has for his brother is reignited and that’s all he can focus on.
It's a great example of the actual set piece and outcome working great, but the execution still being somewhat soddy as there's no logical coherence. The Mountain is superman to a degree, but being this level of immortal is immersion breaking and stupid. The symbolism is there, but it lacks the restraint.
"Yeah that's you, that's what you've always been" is perhaps the best payoff in tv I have ever experienced. Fantastic. Also the Hounds laughing at Death is fab, just great work from Rory McCann.
@@jewels2799 It would've been funnier but the original feels more powerfull. To the hound's eyes, his brother has ALWAYS looked like that, only now everyone else can see it
badass? there was nothing badass about the guard anymore at that point. the last badass guard was selmy and we saw how he was treated for decades of loyal service
That Laughter of the hound is so deep. He realises that it's pointless to extract revenge from a person who isn't himself anymore. It's madness to carry out his pursuit. But he laughs and goes on. May this madness be with all of us, as we live our lives.
He was the better warrior, more skilled, more agile, I mean he was a man monster that was quite agile, if these 2 fought before the Mountain became undead, then Sandor would easily win.
^ don’t listen to this guy. He is a moron. Maybe D&D made you root for the Hound as I also loved his character but in the books the Hound was a brute while the Mountain was a war hero and Champion of the Crown. The Mountain was easily considered the best warrior alive while the Hound was just a big brute.
@@firstlast9846 Sadly this is one of the bad things about the final seasons i do like the way his battles are choreographed tho it’s very block block cut dead
@@garrettbaratheon567 The Mountain seemed oddly sympathetic towards Cersei, both in life and in death. It was probably the only time you could ever describe either of them as wholesome. Like, that glance he gave her when he stepped away from her, that wasn't the murder gaze he gave Jaime. He did still take the time to listen to her and contemplated listening before his desire to kill his brother took over.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Yeah, he seemed to at least somewhat respect her pretty much all the time. That look he gave her seemed more like "sorry, but I have to do this" than "fuck you" to me. And he could've very easily killed her just like he did Qyburn, but he let her pass.
I always wished that when Sandor first saw the mountains face he'd said something to the effect of "I never thought I'd end up the one with the pretty face" lol.
So you’d take away some of the only decent and halfway subtle writing in the series and replace it with a shitty one-liner like something from an 80s b-movie?
Despite season 8 being the godawful mess that it was, this scene is forever one of my favorites in all of game of thrones, possibly my favorite overall.
The actor playing the mountain is actually one of the worlds strongest men. 6’9 , played college basketball, turned powerlifter, and has a 1,000 pound deadlift.
To be completely honest this was somewhat scary to watch because I just wanted the hound to win. Such an intense epic fight between the brothers. Shows how tough the hound really was too because the zombified version of the mountain seemed stronger even worse basically invincible
Yeah haha i remember back then only thing i was waiting for was the clegane brawl but damn they fucked up the editing like they fucked up everything. Alltho this scene edited this way is good.
That look on Sandors face as he’s walking up the steps to him is pure hatred focused like a laser. As an actor he was among the finest ones on this show overall.
The fact that in the end, the mountain looked like the monster he always l was and the hound looked less of a monster by comparison. The hound’s story arc may not be one of the most important but by god it was the most badass

@@jimmymcgill2557 Brienne cheating punch Hound with a rock.
always loved how the hound reacts to seeing his face, not at all surprised or afraid because to him, the mountain had always been a monster. it was probably almost less unsettling than seeing that kind of evil wrapped in a human face
exactly
Yeah, I almost expected him to say that his appearance now fits his personality (surely in a more Hound-poetic form)
It's not that deep. He already said all this.
@@dylanmonstrum1538 never stated it was some unique self made epiphany. I simply said that's what I liked about the scene.
Would've been better if he'd said nothing at all. The writing in this season was terrible, and by this episode it was fucking comical.
Frankenstein
analogy was amazing, even killing his own creator.
2:39 the part where he tears his armor off is so epic. It's like in video games when a boss is about to undergo a transformation
He is looks like the average drunk dad trying to beat up his son
Albert Wesker type of shit
2nd phase
@@Dav624
Yeah he even has a black wife-beater on lmao
He's basically a Tyrant
“The only thing he hates more than his fear of fire is the hate for the person who put that fear there in the first place.”
I can even imagine how it would be written by GRRM
Something like this
"Two brothers, two swords, two different paths, yet both had something in common, their mutual hatred, and right there, at that exactly moment, their paths found each other one last time to end that cycle.
Just like it began, here their story finished with the same spark of fire that fueled their hatred.
So when Sandor Clegan, aka The Hound, threw himself with The Mountain, their story ended with fire, only that this time, it was the other brother responsable for it"
Yes!
@@nicolasdiez7688 as they say hatred never dies with hate it just transforms and uses other paths and people. You can not win over hate with hate.
@@nicolasdiez7688 Yea I'm pretty sure GRRM is a native speaker of English and wouldn't write it like that at all
@@nicolasdiez7688 Dont give up your day job to become a writer, i cringed reading this.
My favourite part is how Cersei just walks by like “don’t mind me” 😭
Cersei: "I'll just be on my way. Good day, gentlemen."
Well gentlemen, you've got some catching up to do...don't mind little ol me....
The Hound: "I'm not here for you. You can fuck off."
‘iight, ima head out😳’
yeah once the mountain merkd qybern, she knew she had no clout there, these two men wasnt about to listen to her lol
This was the best moment from the final episode if not the only best moment, and a great conclusion to Sandor Clegane’s character arc
I hated it. He didn’t care about the mountain anymore. He had moved on and started becoming a better person. More than anything, he loathed what his brother stood for and in the end became a mindless meathead just like him? Then all of a sudden, knowing his bro is going to die soon, he storms the castle to do it himself? So for no reason basically? Please …
@@shambolicrhetoric6143 Fair point, I respect your opinion and agree to some extent. He didn’t need to throw his life away, The Hound should have survived and traveled with Arya to west of Westeros
@@AdromedaJoel That’s what I hoped. Or he could have married Sansa and become King in the North 🤣 joking ha
That scream of the Hound before he charges gives me goosebumps
I like how Sandor takes out those guards in the beginning. Those were Cersei's elite royal guards, not just random grunts. And he dumpstered 4 of them in under 10 seconds like they were nothing. He might not be as huge or as intimidating as his brother, but he's still an absolute beast.
Guard? I just see a walking cake, and Sandor just carving it
Sandor is described as a big and intimidating man that is an elite killing machine in his own right
Now imagine there was 5 of them in total. An old Barristan Selmy could still carve through them all like cake.
Its pretty silly to be honest, that sort of heavy armor shouldnt get taken out in 1 hit let alone a skilled kingsguard
Actually, it's just that the final season had shit writing.
Cersei like “aight. Imma just head out”
Lmfao
really ? when ? how did you figure ?
Qyburn was more like, "Aight! Imma just *BRAIN* out!"
Wouldnt it be funny if the Hound just cut her in half as she was passing through? That would actually sUbVerT ExPEcTatIoNs.
@@imightdeletethislater3810 would have been fitting with the valenqar prophecy
The juxtaposed images of Drogon's fire and the Clegane brothers about to face off is so dope. Fire started their first fight and it starts their last
One of the best parts about this fight is that it shows just how strong and skilled a fighter The Hound was. There are several points---including one fairly early on---when he struck what should have been fatal (or at least debilitating) blows even to a man as large and as strong as The Mountain, but because of the freakish durability that the zombification process gave The Mountain, the latter was able to keep fighting past when he would have been able to when he was still fully human.
One thing i've always wondered was if gregor was still him in there, a lot of the community always thought he was just a brainless zombie, but this scene finally confirmed that yes, the mountain still was able to retain his memories, the fact that he decided to not listen to cersei and qyburn shows that he recognizes the hound and his desire to fight him was stronger than any other emotion, which im glad because i was hoping this last fight was wanted by both parties rather than the hound fighting a zombie with no recollection of him lol
Jamie insulted him, and The Mountain shot him a look. And Qyburn said something like he’s still there he understands.
@@alexandrostheodorou8387 I think the Mountain is just a drunker version of himself
I think that Gregory’s personality asserts itself more here because he’s in the middle of the chaos of battle, which is what he lives (well, lived) for. When he met Sandor before in the season, there was no real reaction, but in the midst of carnage and slaughter, Gregor remembers…
I don't really like thinking of The Mountain as a zombie. I think he's more like Frankenstein's monster at this point. Zombies really can't think...and Gregor proved a couple times he still could to a limited degree.
@@Goldenbane about as much a trump supporter, id wager.
I love the hounds final roar. So much fury and pain, willing to sacrifice it all to get the revenge that he’s been consumed by for so long
Not just the revenge. Maybe that was the main motivator, but also the desire to stop the Mountain from committing more murdering for tyrants
He could have just pushed him off and I wish he did.
Sandor knew he was on a one way trip
Man, those guards even had the high ground and he still cut trough the four of them like carving a cake XD
Two references at once to two different franchises, I salute you sir
This season had its upsides and downs but it had its moments. This is one of them. Legendary.
I always found it funny how Qyburn goes from full health to DEAD in less than two seconds
*flawless…victory*

It was just terrible hasty writing.

@@LithningWolf I'm not explaining things to nitwits anymore. Figure it out.
The Mountain was the scariest character. When pure evil comes in such a monstrously strong package, it’s just too terrible for words. He was awful.
He's just as if not more nightmarish in the books.
@@lothston4371 books he was worse. Way worse. Vargo Hoat would agree.

@@sheepisfortheweak6164 just to name a few
I always kinda LOL at how Cersei just “I’m outta here”.
Also, The Hound is one of the few characters who got a fitting ending in the last season.
“Screw you guys I’m going home….oh wait” 😂
Everything about this scene is iconic. I feel like i could write a college paper about it.
1:07 I love how the dragon flies by and both of them are completely unbothered! They are so focused with hatred on the battle in front of them.
Once started, the cleganebowl could not be stopped
"Two men fighting isnt a battle!"
The fact that Sandor walked towards his Brother when the Dragon was breathing fire. Shows you just how far hes came.
Season 8 had it's moments, this was one of them.
I met Hafthor over 3 years ago at Chicago O’Hare airport. I am 6’3” and 255 lbs, but looked like a school boy next to him. Massive.
The Hound was the only one who got a legitimately good ending.
I love the irony, he got what he wanted for all his life. While hugging his brother. And falling into flames. At least one thing feels right about the whole season.
I was also perfectly okay with Bronn's ending, too. They were about the only ones though. Maybe Brienne and Podrick too.
Really?
Man comes back from the brink of death, has teachings of forgiveness and pacifism instilled in him by his saviour, he begins to turn back to violence and vengeance when his saviour is killed, tries to do justice with brotherhood instead, embarks on the ridiculous mission beyond the wall, somehow survives the Long Night, then allows Arya to travel the entire 1650 mile journey with him to King's Landing, gets with her INTO the Red Keep's upper rooms, and only THEN tells her not to let herself be consumed by vengeance, which by killing Trant, saying "fuck you" to the faceless men, and massacring an entire noble house, has already happened. Then to contradict his message to Arya, he goes and fights a pointless fight with his already close to dead brother in an already collapsing Red Keep and burning city as if it it achieves anything except fan service of the shallowest variety. Him returning to the show had literally no affect on the ending at all.
It's by far the worst episode of the show, but this scene is still nowhere near as horrifically bad as "To be honest I never really cared for them... Innocent or otherwise."
@DariusOfPersia really? Bronn's? Getting made the Lord of the strongest region of westeros and getting appointed the master of coin, a position he has no qualifications for?
@@mappingshaman5280 Being Lord of the Reach, which is essentially the richest of the seven kingdoms, is qualification enough for being Master of Coin. The Tyrells were all gone, so I really don't see the issue with Bronn being made lord of Highgarden and Lord Paramount of the Reach.
“Yeah, that’s you. That’s what you’ve always been.” One of the best lines in the entire series. This scene is the only good part of the entire season.
The blind squirrel finds the nut every once and a while
rewatch the first 4 seasons and you´ll quickly find out how wrong you are with this..
only reason to continue this farce into the 8th season.
That line is a very underrated line in the series. The time I saw this scene and line really gave me the chills. The Hound always seen his brother’s face the same way as remorseless and evil.
Arya's scenes are all pretty good, specially her one big kill in the episode too dark for human eyes to see 😂😂🤣🤣
If Hodor had trained with the Starks, he probably would be the Hound of the North-Winterfell
Most epic scene in whole GOT. "That's what you've always been".
I love the shot of Gregor staring down the stairs at Sandor with his blood red eyes deep in his helm. It fits the Mountain so perfectly. All he knows is violence, exacted on people he deems lesser than him, and now here's the first person he truly hurt, coming to collect a debt of pain. Gregor can't help but stare down at him,
as we see, if Gregor hadnt ben made into an undead monster like this, Sandor would have won with that stab through the torsoe. i believe the reason he hated his little brother was because at some point he realised that Sandor had surpassed him. Gregors vicious nature got him favored over Sandor but deep down he allways knew that his little brother was better than him.
The only thing more therapeutic than this would be to let Ramsay Snow and Gregor go at each other. Let's see how that would have turned out.
The Hound was my favorite character in this story, hands down. He had a way with words, some of the best dialog comes from interactions with Sandor. And threatening to kill someone by eating chicken, instant classic.
"Lot's of cunts"
That Hound “sliced through the 4 of them like carving a cake” #RIPBarriston
Great fight. I Love how at one point the hound is laughing and the mountain is smiling
I didn't like the Hound at the beginning of the show but I grew to love him as one of my favorite characters. I wish he just cut off the Mountains head but spearing him thru the wall was pretty badass.
I personally thought it would have been a little funny if he did cut his head off and even then The Mountain's body was still running around lol
I liked him at the beginning
To me him and arya were the most badass characters
He was the vegeta of this show
Cersei: Stay by my side! I comand you!
"Mountain kills QYBURN"
Cersei: Understandable, have a nice day"
Cersei was a fool to think she could ever really control that monster. It was only a matter of time until he killed her as well, and I don’t doubt she’d still try to command him up to her last breath. It’s funny actually. My brother told me once that it’s possible for people to have an above average (or even genius level) intellect, but at the same time have absolutely no common sense. That describes Cersei to a T. She was cold, calculating and ruthless, but also arrogant, petty and shortsighted. She thought she was the best choice to sit on the iron throne, but she never really had what it took to rule. If she’d won, she’d have run her kingdom into the ground in less than a year.
XD
I love how he just grabbed him and threw him like he was a pillow or something.
😂
@@nevadaaguilar2062 The only one here that will turn the kingdom to ashes is Daenerys, maybe Cersei at first will have problems as ruler but in the end she could do good, the only problem of Cersei was the people around her, but that's all
2:46 - In that moment, Sandor was once again the little boy being abused and tortured by his older brother.
I love that the Mountain shows absolute loyalty to his Queen throughout the series doing anything for her...but when it comes to his hate for his brother, even her command can not stop him. Literally nothing gets between family 😆
The Hound was the man.
Yarp.
Probably the only story arc conclusion that made any sense in season 8
Tbh Jorah and Theon were dope
I kinda like how he actually let go of his obsession with Dany and died a better man
And Thon, he finally got accepted by someone else and died knowing all his crimes were forgiven
@@ItsButterBean1020 I wish theon had put up a little bit more of a fight. Rather than just dying instantly.
@@aerdwolram3938
To be fair, he was exhausted from fighting dozens of wights (you could see it during his final battle scenes before he charges the NK like a badass).
@@aerdwolram3938 my problem is i wish he died for something, instead of whatever the fuck bran was in the last season. I accept he will be kings in the books, but hed earn it.
I most definitely agree with that
02:30 that feeling when the Souls music changes, the boss health bar fills back up and you realise there's a Phase 2
Cleganebowl was the one part of Season 8 that completely lived up to expectations.
The Hound overcoming his two biggest fears in his life. Fire and his brother to finally take out his brother is truly amazing. The final season was not great but this moment was done a amazingly well.
Agreed, this is the one moment of Season 8 I would not change.
The same happened to Theon, in the end of the day, The Starks accepted him again even after he betrayed them. Even Bran called him a good man. He died for what his role is supposed to be: Serving to the Starks.
The hound landed on the mountains body, immediately destroying it (blowing up into multiple pieces), the body absorbs all the impact, enabling the hound to survive the fall.
he didn't fear his brother did he?
@@TheRafark even if Sandor landed on undead Gregor, fire still destroyed them both. I'd be happy if the Hound survived this but he's gone. They're both gone.
I love it that the move that frees The Hound in the end and allows him to get his revenge, is what Arya told him: "One day, I'm going to put a sword through your eye, and out the back of your skull".
Good catch, forgot all about that.
I took this as the hound being brutal enough to go for the eyes, just like his brother. Throw in a little bit of the Mountain favoring the eyes because he knows its a great weakness (of his own as well).
And the hound taught arya where the heart was for when she kills the nightking 🥹
One of the best scenes in the entire series. I was so emotional.
little nod towards arya telling the Hound "Some day I'm going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull" at 4:00
3:47 this is my favourite bit of the entire fight. In his own way, Sandor knows he’s done everything he can and it’s still not enough… the fact his reaction is a chuckle tells you everything you need to know about the man. Absolute badass through and through.
Me too, love it. That chuckle of utter "fuck it" is so good
Someone get the Hound a chicken. He deserves it
@@michaelguarino7834 he’ll take two chickens.. and a pint of someone else’s ale 🍺 🍗
yea well thats all do to his sheer size and strength. he was just so hard to go up against. the dude pulled a dagger out of his damn head. I would suspect after that he would have died, between all the stabs and the sword through the gut. But who knows.
Sandor had one more card to play, but the writers didn't do it because they winged the season due to no source materials
Sandor could've beheaded Gregor, which would've stopped the fight, I mean Gregor clearly knew those around him, and faced him the Hound ignored his duty for a feud
This version of the Mountain was absolutely terrifying. Up until that point, I thought he was a mindless zombie. Then his hatred for Sandor broke through the mental conditioning, and suddenly here I was, watching an undead Gregor, completely silent with no facial expressions, and impervious to pain and injury. Downright the most horrific character in the show.
Scarier than the Season 8 white walkers
jaime said something about him and mountain shot him a look he still remembers himself im pretty sure
This is basically like trying to fight the Tyrant in the original Resident Evil 2
Even the best swordsman would struggle against an undead flesh golem
For all the things they might have gotten wrong in the eighth season, I personally feel this is one moment they got right. Only Gregor Clegane's raw, primal hatred for his brother could have overriden his loyalty to Cersei.
Agree, the only good and fitting end for these two
Really? The writing is terrible. Sir Gregor, stay by my side! The conversation, or at least the few words there are, have no impact at all. How low this show has sunken.
@@WimzorTheGreat Maybe the dialogue is terrible, but the actions of the characters themselves (at least the two brothers) makes sense.
He never had any loyalty for Cersei, he had it for house Lannister and Tywin. He was a zombie and followed Qyburn's orders
I don't understand why Gregor hated Sandor so much. Sandor never did anything to him other than take abuse.
Its so fucking funny how he just kills qyburn like that i was actually laughing so hard
Then the way Cersei just walks away as well. 😂😂😂 My wife and I rewinded it a few times and laughed just as hard each time .
One shot 😂
The High Sparrow was an utter twat tbh, I think he always had it coming, ha ha.
@@twinsuns957 that wasn’t the high sparrow
ikr 😂 finally
I think what adds to this even more when the mountain looks at Cersei like “woman what?”. We hear a heart beat, which I think seeing the hound at that moment. Brought The Mountain “back”. Plus with the dragon fire in the back ground shot.. I think even more implying the burning hatred he has for his brother is reignited and that’s all he can focus on.
For all those who don’t know why the mountain could sustain those hits, it is because he is a sith. The darkside keeps him alive.
Super-sized Darth Sion.
@@dreadrathdarth baras but sion
It's a great example of the actual set piece and outcome working great, but the execution still being somewhat soddy as there's no logical coherence. The Mountain is superman to a degree, but being this level of immortal is immersion breaking and stupid. The symbolism is there, but it lacks the restraint.
@@TOCS94He is practically a zombie here though, after the experiments Qyburn did on him.
"Yeah that's you, that's what you've always been" is perhaps the best payoff in tv I have ever experienced. Fantastic. Also the Hounds laughing at Death is fab, just great work from Rory McCann.
I would have liked it even more if he would have said "Gods you're even uglier than me now" and started laughing
@@jewels2799 It would've been funnier but the original feels more powerfull. To the hound's eyes, his brother has ALWAYS looked like that, only now everyone else can see it
The way he slaughters the kings guard so easily when they are supposed to be the most badass guards. Really shows what a complete badass Sandor was.
badass? there was nothing badass about the guard anymore at that point. the last badass guard was selmy and we saw how he was treated for decades of loyal service
It was stupid how weak they were actually
Those king's guard might as well have been mall cops.
3 seconds later the Mountain rose up from the firey-rubble and walked away... legend has it that he's still out there somewhere.
If he survived then not for long probably.
1:40 they couldn't manage a new actor for Gregor so they brought back Varys from death
The hound was afraid of fire; died in fire.. 😔
He is likely to not have survived the fall, so he died falling on the surface instantly. His body burnt to a crisp tho that's correct.
I'm pretty sure it was the 300 foot fall that killed him.
yeah, but this time he gave his big brother a taste of his own medicine
@Roger Felton he felt nothing...
Everyone's afraid of fire. It's fire. That shit hurts.
That Laughter of the hound is so deep. He realises that it's pointless to extract revenge from a person who isn't himself anymore. It's madness to carry out his pursuit. But he laughs and goes on. May this madness be with all of us, as we live our lives.
S tier comment
Yea i also think its because he wouldnt fucking die
Top Comment..
Or jus cause it's funny stabbing a man multiple and he doesn't bulge
The way he disobeys Cersei and kills Qyburn makes me think there is still a lot of his real self left
And they all had the higher ground 🥶
"Obey your queen Ser Gregor!!!"🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
Seeing how quickly the hound got a killing blow shows just how skilled he was
He was the better warrior, more skilled, more agile, I mean he was a man monster that was quite agile, if these 2 fought before the Mountain became undead, then Sandor would easily win.
^ don’t listen to this guy. He is a moron. Maybe D&D made you root for the Hound as I also loved his character but in the books the Hound was a brute while the Mountain was a war hero and Champion of the Crown. The Mountain was easily considered the best warrior alive while the Hound was just a big brute.
he didn't become the hound of the king for no reason
It doesn’t really - He stabbed him through solid plate armour - which makes no sense.
@@firstlast9846 Sadly this is one of the bad things about the final seasons i do like the way his battles are choreographed tho it’s very block block cut dead
The mountain killing qyburn and Cersei looking absolutely terrified is an incredible scene in its own.
I think it wasn’t until that exact moment she realized she fucked up by creating an invincible killing machine
@@garrettbaratheon567 The Mountain seemed oddly sympathetic towards Cersei, both in life and in death. It was probably the only time you could ever describe either of them as wholesome. Like, that glance he gave her when he stepped away from her, that wasn't the murder gaze he gave Jaime. He did still take the time to listen to her and contemplated listening before his desire to kill his brother took over.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Yeah, he seemed to at least somewhat respect her pretty much all the time. That look he gave her seemed more like "sorry, but I have to do this" than "fuck you" to me. And he could've very easily killed her just like he did Qyburn, but he let her pass.
@@cid2852 Precisely.
And it's also the moment where Cersei realize she lost her living weapon
I always wished that when Sandor first saw the mountains face he'd said something to the effect of "I never thought I'd end up the one with the pretty face" lol.
He says something similar, just less elegantly.
So you’d take away some of the only decent and halfway subtle writing in the series and replace it with a shitty one-liner like something from an 80s b-movie?
@@jacksonconstantine5740 lol I'd replace it with something good, correct.
You know you are an important character when you opponent just throws you around.
I love how they both start smiling even though they’re literally killing each other. Talk about two badass characters.

"I thought I was the ugly one."
People talk snit about Season 8, but it really had it's moments.

Despite season 8 being the godawful mess that it was, this scene is forever one of my favorites in all of game of thrones, possibly my favorite overall.

Say what you want of S8. This is one of the highest points of the series as a whole for me, and nothing's ever gonna change that.
The fact that in the end, the mountain looked like the monster he always l was and the hound looked less of a monster by comparison. The hound’s story arc may not be one of the most important but by god it was the most badass
