We'd never say it to his face, but the Mountain does look just a teeny bit ridiculous in his new battle armour.

Not long after the Game of Thrones Season 7 trailer was released, people on Reddit and Twitter began making similar observations about Ser Gregor's shiny near gear:

As you can tell from the following two gifs, they're not wrong.

It's definitely the helmet that does it.

In fairness, despite looking as though he's just wandered in off the Death Star, the Mountain also looks as though he could comfortably take on 20 men single-handedly.

He's going to be a force to be reckoned with on that battle field.
