Also Gilgamesh came across as less of a punk ass pretender (he kind of struck me as a hipster to be honest) and more like a guy you might actually not want to run into in this one compared to the original Fate/Stay Night. I really started to hate that character towards the end cause it felt to me like he was unworthy of having such power cause he basically came off like little more than a cackling jackass who just won battles effortlessly for no good reason. Here he seems to act with more contempt and seems to mean business and it does wonders for the character, especially in that he struck a pretty cool pose that didn't involve a smug grin for a change. That goes a long way.

Uh, if you've experienced F/SN you should know there's sort of a plot reason as to why Gilgamesh is more prone to cackling and grinning in it than here in F/Z. But that's all I can say in this topic.
And I don't see how his victory against Assassin in this episode was any less of an effortless win for no good reason... other than him being overpowered, which is the case for both prequel and sequel.
As for him feeling more of a guy you don't wanna run into here, I'd say that that's less due to any possible difference in his character and more due to it being Fate/Zero, which has a much more tense fight to the death atmosphere than F/SN ever did.
