In the books, the hound is still hidden right? GRRM set up a clegane bowl a long time ago - and even though he is a lazy gently caress, he could no more ignore that scene, than he could ignore "hodor". Clegane bowl is a big payoff for GRRM. I don't know if it will happen in the TV show, but I'm confident it will happen in the ...

Maybe the real Cleganebowl was the friends he killed along the way.

Wasn’t one of those dumb shitcorpse spoilers that Arya kills Gregor while Sandor just stands back and watches, thus invalidating Cleganebowl entirely?

Cleganebowl will be a thing in the series, but likely not in book. One of the aspects of the series is that fated, epic duels rarely happen. No duels between Kingslayer versus Knight of Flowers to see who wins, or vengeful victim foiling their nemesis' plan and telling him off before killing him.

Well, except for Arya, who basically just bumps into both her targets and the means to kill them all over the world like it's no thing.

I see what you mean - subverting that trope and all. And the leaked "Arya ganks Sandor's mob" makes sense too. I mean Rickon just loving exited screen left with his shaggy dog, so why not.

Half the posters in this forum have been made up. This website is a goddamn ghost town.
Well, there are lots of epic duels in the backstory, so GRRM does like those. But, I mean, I think we all know the real reason why there won't be a written Cleganebowl.

Hot take: Arya steals his face, battles gregor as sandor, so we technically get the cleaganbowl, but in a stupid, convoluted way.

A dumb, convoluted, poop n incest kid ending is the one showwatchers will love or love to hate for years and go 'omgeee did you seeee it' and the type of ending that masochist bookreaders know we deserve.

First, a confession: there is a terror in writing a review like this, a low but present thrum, almost percussive: When (and where, and how – responsibly) to mention Maester Aemon? The titanic figure casts such a shadow over Westeros psychic construction (and, indeed, projection) of the Essos archipelago that it may be hard, at times, to unsee his images, to unlearn his influence. And yet, in AGOT, that larger appreciation of influence—and of tradition, literary, cultural, intellectual, psychic—binds these poems in a way that is holistic and expansive. It reminds us (almost to a startling degree, to this reader) that our sense(s) of place are rooted in experience both personal and collective, and are fundamentally told and re-told and passed on. Place, simply, is a gift—and gifts are to be shared.

Arya killing the Mountain while the Hound watches would actually be the most thematically awesome version of Cleganebowl

The Mountain mortally wounds the Hound, and as he stands over a dying Sandor, he pulls off his face to reveal Arya. “I bested your brother and now I’ve bested you.” *Fortnight dance*

Actually why does anyone still want Cleganebowl anyway? The Mountain is dead already. There's no indication he's anything more than a zombie. Also the character arc of the Hound should end with him renouncing violence, not triumphing via the use of it

I think people misread the Hound's whole characterization and interpret the Mountain as his rival or nemesis in some respect

that's not what the Mountain is
to Sandor, he's just the crystalization/focal point of the whole corrupt world order
his burning hatred of Gregor is wrapped up tightly in his resentment of his father, the lannisters, and virtually everyone/everything
killing Gregor wouldn't accomplish anything for him imo since he knows there's a thousand smaller Gregors out there, being enabled.

I think that would be a good way to end his arc on the show. Sandor renounces violence when all's said and done and goes back to the Riverlands to rebuild Ray's sept now that Gregor and the Brotherhood are all finally dead.
