Game Of Thrones Season 6: 5 Reasons Cleganebowl Needs To Happen (And 3 It Doesn't)
7. Cleganebowl Yes: Sandor's Leg
Strictly in terms of the actual fight itself, Sandor's limp is actually a cool and exciting disadvantage. Like Bronn says; one misstep and you're dead. The Mountain may have lost a step or two but Qyburn did imply that he may be even stronger than he was.
It's certainly an interesting tale of the tape between these two and both of their physical states practically guarantees that things will get very ugly, very quickly.
It is a common trope of thrillers or your better action movies to have the protagonist at a physical disadvantage. Bruce Willis barefoot and outnumbered, Schwarzenegger fighting an invisible alien or being Pregnant with DeVito's baby. But the worry is that Sandor's journey to the big fight has the potential to be less of a tense white-knuckle affair and more an overly lucky series of coincidences.
Overall though, the idea of watching Hound hobble away from Gregor like he's the new terminator prototype should make fans very excited for this battle.
