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.
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.
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.

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."

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.
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 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.
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 absolutely love how Sandor just starts dying laughing when stabbing Gregor repeatedly does nothing and he's about to lose the fight he's waited his whole life for.
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.
On the surface it's a tie but Sandor won in the sense that he already knew he was a dead man before the fight even started and all he wanted to do was to kill his brother
@@danmarusan2878 If Gregor wasn't already a zombie he'd have fought completely different, I doubt it'd have been as easy to stab him. Also his armour would have stopped that unlike the cardboard he was wearing here.
@@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.
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 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.
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.
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 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"
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.
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.
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.
@@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
Is clear that the Hound was a very skillful, strong and tough warrior. This is clear given the amount of damage that he received from the Mountain who usually defeats everybody with one move

@@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 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
Such a bitter sweet moment! The Hound finally got his revenge but it so ironic that it ended the same way as it started… With His Monster of a brother “The Mountain” by the fire!!!! Long Live Sandor Clegan 💙
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
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 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).
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.
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.
"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
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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?
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
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 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
Sandor was fighting so very intensely. Those first swings of his sword when he knocked gregors helmets off were extremely hard, he was definitely hitting with everything in him. If any other foe were talking those hits it would have meant broken bones and probably a finished fight.
Thing is, The mountain would have probably have broken something too. In the books he’s described as having nightmares, taking drugs, and etc. And in this scene, he’s pretty much a zombie. Which so why he feels nothing. He’s already dead.
@@pcbangbros8350 not nothing, but little, it does spread force over an area, rather than concentrating the pressure of the swing at wherever it connects, assuming it retains its structural integrity. But yeah, it still wouldn’t have helped much, but it would’ve helped a little.
@@pcbangbros8350 A longsword still doesn't inflict that much blunt trauma. That's what axes, hammers, etc. are for. The idea is only plausible in this context because it's The Hound we're talking about, the only person who's anywhere as strong as The Mountain. There's a video where a guy wearing plate armor gets hit in the torso and barely flinches on impact. The guy swinging the sword very visibly put their whole body into the swing. Not hard to find the video. It's got over 8 million views.
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 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.
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.
1:02-1:11 is perfect. Dragons roar, the sound of the fire impact, red keep falling apart, then that shot of him flying by. Say what you will about season 8. The visuals were out of this world. Soundtrack too.
Honestly, Sandor's arc was probably the only thing this show managed to get right from start to finish, and Arya of course (credit where its due). It still breaks my heart that sandor's life ended in agony and in flame, but he also managed to topple a mountain...and that's a feat no one can match.

He died with the one thing he never had in life.
In the warm embrace of an older brother.
I never saw it that way, this is quit poetic :(
I'd like to imagine that the Hound had a quick death while the Mountain had a slow painful death.
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
Slow, yes, painful, no, he doesn't feel pain at this point I think
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.
Didn't look like the mountain felt much of anything lol
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.
The moment Arya called the hound Sandor for the first time(nobody ever called him by his name) was very touching.
Podeick did back in season 4
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.
It started in fire and it ended in fire
I don't see how anyone who watched it wouldn't come to the exact conclusion themselves. You just put it in text.
@@chrise4659 Anything else to add? I don't understand your problem.
@denverlilly3669 I loved the moment at 0:00 where Gregor was staring down at his brother while the kingsguards were being sliced through like butter
I'm not sure it was poetic considering how much Sandor was still afraid of fire even after he evolved. He pretty much died in the worst way possible.
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
I absolutely love how Sandor just starts dying laughing when stabbing Gregor repeatedly does nothing and he's about to lose the fight he's waited his whole life for.
Sandor won it’s just it hard to kill someone that not alive
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.
On the surface it's a tie but Sandor won in the sense that he already knew he was a dead man before the fight even started and all he wanted to do was to kill his brother
@@danmarusan2878 If Gregor wasn't already a zombie he'd have fought completely different, I doubt it'd have been as easy to stab him. Also his armour would have stopped that unlike the cardboard he was wearing here.
@@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.
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 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.
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
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.
True. But most his bones were broken and surely his skull too meaning his brain would be mush. Even alive probably unable to move.
He is probably still alive just laying there
SOY how poetic, D&D truly are genuises SOY
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.
Maybe not an instant death but probably laying with all bones broken while burning and unable to move
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.
I just like the way he says "Your Grace" in the begining. fucking legend this guy
“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.

4:31, those close ups of the hounds face, truly shows how much of a man that guy truly is, The scar, the beard, the noble, animalistic looking rage.

analogy was amazing, even killing his own creator.
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
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.

@@emten1584two men of this stature is
The circle has closed. His hate was forged in the fire. And the fire ended it. Kind of poetic
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.
“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 😂😂🤣🤣
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.

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
Is clear that the Hound was a very skillful, strong and tough warrior. This is clear given the amount of damage that he received from the Mountain who usually defeats everybody with one move
The fact that Sandor walked towards his Brother when the Dragon was breathing fire. Shows you just how far hes came.
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

I most definitely agree with that
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
Such a bitter sweet moment! The Hound finally got his revenge but it so ironic that it ended the same way as it started… With His Monster of a brother “The Mountain” by the fire!!!! Long Live Sandor Clegan 💙
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
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 scream of the Hound before he charges gives me goosebumps
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” 😂
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 🥹
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
3:43 Me whenever I’m fighting a tough boss in a video game that hardly takes any damage every time I strike correctly.
It must be dark souls game 😂😂😂😂
And that's how Ser Sandor overcame his fear of both Gregor and Fire!
The Hound was the man.
Yarp.
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.
Everything about this scene is iconic. I feel like i could write a college paper about it.
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
The Hound after see his big brother's face under the helmet:
"I thought I was the ugly one."
"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
This series will forever be unbeaten… it was just unbelievable
It breaks my heart every time I watch this fight, for the fact of the two being brothers, just keeps reminding of me with my brother
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
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.

Great fight. I Love how at one point the hound is laughing and the mountain is smiling
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.

The way he disobeys Cersei and kills Qyburn makes me think there is still a lot of his real self left
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.

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
This was not only the best scene of season 7&8, it was the only really good scene.
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.

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
I think they should include the mountain in mortal combat.

He can defeat five with one hand in Mortal Kombat
Starting to look a little too much like Kratos imo

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
Sandor was fighting so very intensely. Those first swings of his sword when he knocked gregors helmets off were extremely hard, he was definitely hitting with everything in him. If any other foe were talking those hits it would have meant broken bones and probably a finished fight.
Thing is, The mountain would have probably have broken something too. In the books he’s described as having nightmares, taking drugs, and etc. And in this scene, he’s pretty much a zombie. Which so why he feels nothing. He’s already dead.
Bit late to the discussion, but Sandor did also have like half an inch thick steel plate armour on which probably helped a little.
@@cameronleach5902 Plate armor does NOTHING against blunt force trauma.
@@pcbangbros8350 not nothing, but little, it does spread force over an area, rather than concentrating the pressure of the swing at wherever it connects, assuming it retains its structural integrity. But yeah, it still wouldn’t have helped much, but it would’ve helped a little.
@@pcbangbros8350 A longsword still doesn't inflict that much blunt trauma. That's what axes, hammers, etc. are for. The idea is only plausible in this context because it's The Hound we're talking about, the only person who's anywhere as strong as The Mountain.
There's a video where a guy wearing plate armor gets hit in the torso and barely flinches on impact. The guy swinging the sword very visibly put their whole body into the swing. Not hard to find the video. It's got over 8 million views.
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 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.
At one point he legit was THE world's strongest man lol
@@magtinfal7908 yes now there’s guys coming out of the woods pulling his PR but he had it for a minute.
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.
1:02-1:11 is perfect. Dragons roar, the sound of the fire impact, red keep falling apart, then that shot of him flying by. Say what you will about season 8. The visuals were out of this world. Soundtrack too.
Still couldn’t help shit writing
@@IRedpunk Whatever. I enjoyed it. Sorry that you didn’t.
@@fireandblood2919 it’s actually one of the rare good moments of the last season. Which is sad.
If only they'd gotten there with good, sensible writing. Or at least had the honor to give it to someone who actually still cared about the material
For me still best series ever made. And yea ive seen breaking bad, better call saul.
Honestly, Sandor's arc was probably the only thing this show managed to get right from start to finish, and Arya of course (credit where its due). It still breaks my heart that sandor's life ended in agony and in flame, but he also managed to topple a mountain...and that's a feat no one can match.
Nah his life didn't end in agony in flame, he died when he hit the ground, only the mountain burned to "death"
What began in fire. Ended in fire.
I will forever cherish the "Wait no oh fuck" look on Qyburn's face as his head hits the wall.
Arya to Hound :- Burn in Hell
Beric :- " He will, But Not Today".
