In the book does he actually squeeze his head to a pulp? I thought he gets punched to death in the face? The film scene was indeed more disturbing visually lol

Yes he gets his head punched in. The scene in the series was a lot more disturbing.

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 fucking 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.
He never heard his father speak the words that condemned him. Perhaps no words were necessary. I put my life in the Red Viper’s hands, and he dropped it. When he remembered, too late, that snakes had no hands, Tyrion began to laugh hysterically.
He was halfway down the serpentine steps before he realized that the gold cloaks were not taking him back to his tower room. “I’ve been consigned to the black cells,” he said. They did not bother to answer. Why waste your breath on the dead?

This is the script from last episode in of the show from A Storm of Swords.

[Mack]

He atleast achieved something, unlike alot other characters.

And yeah that also reminded me of that scene in 28 weeks later, damn.. Horrible stuff. Hearing oberyn scream like that and seeing his eyes get pushed in was definitly disturbing footage. ( Although I knew it was coming )

[Furrnox]

There's not enough camomile tea the whole world to quell the rage in my heart.  While not as bad as the Red Wedding(Wanted to throw my laptop out the window then) its pisses me off why he didn't just finish him instead of talking all the time.

Spoiler

What makes me even more mad is the fact that he can do all the fancy flips,doges etc but can't roll away when he gets tripped.   What got me was that he mouth was still moving on that birds eye view shot. Also, I know its GoT so pretty much anything can happen but surly that's not even humanly possible, to crush someone's head just by pushing into their eyes. And when he teeth flew every where 

[close]

Well he lost his guard for a second because he looked at his wife (/lover can't remember) and that was all the mountain needed.

Yeah that's the Mountain.


In the books he plays a much more predominant role, as opposed to the rinky dink stuff minor appearances in the show.   So when this fight comes up, you're already like AAAWWWWW YEAAAAAAAH!!!!

Well he did cut off his horse head in the first season.. That was pretty fucked up.

[Barraclough]

I somewhat wish that I haven't read up on what would happen, but then I wouldn't be so in tears (like all the other deaths in the Show, Ned Stark, Joffrey, Rob etc..)
After seeing Oberyn fight though I wish he would've had some more fight scenes because his character was just so good.

I think my reaction probably would've been like this then

In the books he apparently had a few more scenes & in the books he didn't know before Tyrion told him that the mountain was the murderer I guess that was why he really wanted him to confess in the books.

[Barraclough]

I just want more fighty scenes with Dornishmen fighting style

The fighting scene itself was rather boring in my opinion. Oberyn was wrecking the mountain, he easily won. But the way he died. My god.

[Furrnox]

I like that in the lore of the mountain it says he is a rather fast fighter for his size.. Which wasn't really shown in the scene..

You already knew what was coming, which kind of removed the fight thrill for you, I guess. I went in knowing not what the hell was going to happen. Here's my thought process:

"Well, they just brought back the Mountain for an episode. They'll kill him off just to progress the story."

"Yep, Oberyn is winning, I'm right! Holy eggs, dem flips."

"pls dont throw that soear at tywin"

"Alright... Kill him already..."

"KILL HIM"

"its all ur fault"

[Wolfy]

Vipers have venom do they not.

[Nipplestockings]

In the books he goes absolutely beserk during the fight and accidentally cleaves an onlooker (maybe a squire, I forgot) in half with a stray swing. I guess they couldn't really do that here, as the arena was mostly clear and the majority of the onlookers were in a raised stadium type arrangement, but it certainly would've been cool :3

[FrithBiscuit]

Yeah, my Brother told me that they weren't in an actual arena, and the Mountain actually did it on purpose? Perhaps he got confused.
