Right before this when he stabs the Mountain in the chest I got up from my chair in the family living room and shouted "that's not how it happened in the books", not because I read the books, but because I read the wikipedia pages for the books and was surprised it seemed like he won. My brother got upset at me for basically spoiling it. Oops.
I remember watching this at my uncle's house because he had HBO and when it go to the part where Oberyn went "FOR YOU", I was thinking how much Cinemaphile must've been shitting itself at that moment.
In the books it's even more graphic. The Mountain punches him in the face once kind of hard, says something, then punches him again much harder to the point it basically crushes his entire face into ruin. It's implied his nose teeth, jaw, everything is just totally shattered. Then the final blow squashes his head like a watermelon.
Here's the exact text.

>Prince Oberyn moved closer. "Say the name!" He put a foot on the Mountain's chest. Whether he intended to hack off Gregor's head or shove the point through his eyeslit was something Tyrion would never know. >Clegane's hand shot up and grabbed the Dornishman behind the knee. The Red Viper brought down the greatsword in a wild slash, but he was off-balance, and the edge did no more than put another dent in the Mountain's vambrace. Then the sword was forgotten as Gregor's hand tightened and twisted, yanking the Dornishman down on top of him. They wrestled in the dust and blood, the broken spear wobbling back and forth. Tyrion saw with horror that the Mountain had wrapped one huge arm around the prince, drawing him tight against his chest, like a lover. >"Elia of Dorne," they all heard Ser Gregor say, when they were close enough to kiss. His deep voice boomed within the helm. "I killed her screaming whelp." He thrust his free hand into Oberyn's unprotected face, pushing steel fingers into his eyes. "Then I raped her." Clegane slammed his fist into the Dornishman's mouth, making splinters of his teeth. "Then I smashed her fricking head in. Like this." As he drew back his huge fist, the blood on his gauntlet seemed to smoke in the cold dawn air. There was a sickening crunch. Ellaria Sand wailed in terror, and Tyrion's breakfast came boiling back up. He found himself on his knees retching bacon and sausage and applecakes, and that double helping of fried eggs cooked up with onions and fiery Dornish peppers.

Are all the books this goofy?
Yes, George Rape Rape Martin thinks being overly-graphic means his writing succeeds where Tolkien’s failed.

there's nothing anyone can do for me. i lost too much trying to sue to bother anymore
Thank Science that GRRM is a nuanced writer that doesn't rely on the simple-minded Good/Evil dichotomy like Tolkien and through this scene we could take a glimpse of The Mountain's morally grey characterization
>If the mountain was a big attractive woman instead this scene would've had anons posting giwtwm, writing smut and femdom snuff gays coming out the woodwork
Double standards much?
Me doing that to jerks and bullies
Me doing that to people who tip less than 15%
uhm sweaty, thanks to inflation the minimum is actually 25% now.

Kinda tard ngl, bro. But you do your stuff

Who would've won between the Mountain and the Fookin' Legend of Gin Alley?
what did he mean by this?
What the FRICK was his problem?!
Me doing that to people who don't say "God bless you" after someone else sneezes
Be easy on him he's only 13.
This scene was way to graphic, they should've tuned it down a bit. I watch a fair share of horror movies, but this scene was too disturbing.
In the books his eyes get punched out instead? somewhat quicker death

Fricking George and his food descriptions.

Yes. Sometimes even more so.
Yes
This is what lit gays think is good writing?
Nah he used to get roasted on Cinemaphile almost as much as Rupi Kaur
nobody thinks anything in the fantasy genre is good writing
>can't help but describe food on every page
George is such a fat frick and will die of fatness before Winds is finished
>bacon and sausage and applecakes, and that double helping of fried eggs cooked up with onions and fiery Dornish peppers.
Just can't help himself, huh
>The Mountain punches him in the face once kind of hard, says something
He admits to Oberyn that he did rape his sister and killed his nephew and her before making the killing blow, just like the show.
Yes, it felt too real. Kino
damn he should get LASIK eye surgery
dont do this, my flaps didnt heal and now they go up and i cant see anything if im facing the wind
>flaps
what?
lasik eye surgery involv
oh shit.

it is supposed to heal on its own in a few days, but mine never did. sometimes i swear i can hear them fluttering if the wind is strong enough. i can't be in a room with a fan.

I don't believe you.
Fricking kek. Sounds like something my best friend in HS would say. RiP.
Why was he yelling like that? Was he trying to turn into a super sayian?
Another victim of the vaxx.
I kept seeing the meme version of this pic over the years and when I finally saw the show i burst out laughing at this because of the reference
vaxxed?
>the series drops from here
I used to be disturbed by this scene now it’s cathartic.
Maximum relief factor:
My roommate has never seen this show. We're just about finished with season 1. I cannot wait to see her reaction to this and the red wedding.
Is this how you take out someone's contacts?

>"yeah I raped her"
>explodes head
