Yeah, the problems with portraying the mountain go beyond having three different actors in four years and I really don't think they go deeply enough into the whole sadism side. They show him being a dick and a bad dude but not the total sadist which we see in the book. Part of that is the nature of film media though because in a book you can have long internal dialogues about what characters are thinking where as in film you have to figure out another way to get the point across.

It really had no other point then to highlight his sadism.Spoiler:Arya mentioned that without having his wound cauterized it would become infected. As you know, in the books he dies of his wounds from the fight in the bar (where Arya gets her little sword back) but it seems in the TV show they're going to have him die from one of Biter's bites. Still, it's not a bad compromise as it wraps up a two different strings in one scene.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
