>Cruise somehow bodying people twice his size. >*hits you in the nuts* >HOW DID HE DO IT!!?
The book Reacher just shoots dudes most of the time. The chicks do more movie-action moves than he does. The meaty bone-breaking stuntman-fight stuff is a phenomenon of modern TV (needing a "power-sequence" to load up on YT to entice viewers over to the streaming platform) more than sourced from the novels.
Go read a few of the books. All the big "Big Bads" they set up at the beginning, to seemingly give Reacher a proper physical match, just gets a bullet in the end or turn out to me a misdirect (there's always great emphasis places on a "giant's footprint" or fingerprint or hand-print, then that specter just evaporates somewhere along the line and he shoots a dude at the end, usually from as safe distance).
The "Little Tom Cruise" meme wouldn't even be an issue in the books. Reacher's sense of size literally only comes from the homosexual-leaning (but really written for the female readers) descriptive passages. All his old co-worker female military and operator buddies are described taking down huge guys with surgical close-combat strikes. They don't even break a sweat, let alone take a punch. The one hero-chick who dies in mid-awesome is later claimed to have "died because she was to good, too quick - the bullet would have hit her vest if she hadn't been SO DAMN AMAZING!!".
The Reacher books are written for women, and homosexual autists (like you) who don't realize they're reading flick-fic. The first Reacher movie was great, the second one was too much like the books (Ed Zwick is like you, an autist who doesn't know he's gay - go watch Legends of the Fall if you doubt me). The TV show was pretty good, mostly because of Richson actually getting physical with the bad guys. He and the stunt teams were doing what the books promise in concept but don't actually deliver (or do so rarely). That last episode in the warehouse was a huge mess though.
>the only time the hackneyed trailer music stops is for more quips
Never thought I'd miss tiny tom cruise in the role but his first Jack Reacher film is a work of high art compared to this shitty show.
the amazon series is unwatchable imo. Other than the main guy being the right size this time everything else is just so much worse than the first Cruise movie.
Near constant smart ass dialogue and quips from every character to the point that you can see script on screen. And when an old southern dandy in a white suit showed up with a diamond cane literally talking like Foghorn Leghorn the show slipped into full parody/comedy. Oh he was the villain all along? What a shock that must have been to people with a room temp IQ
Are you a manlet? When you're like 6'2"+ random people will comment on how tall you are. You're just minding your own business and strangers on the street will look back at you, be surprised, and say something about your height. It happens to guys who are very muscular too.
Man it must be weird, but probably quite comforting sometimes, being totally invisible when you're walking in a crowd.
Already did. They race-swapped and gender-swapped one of his buddies from the novels. Anyone still taking stock in Western media is a complete and utter moron.
The trailer is cheesy as frick. And season 1 had a bit of too much gratuitious violence and gore to my tastes, but it's a series made for american tastes so that's a given.
But compared to the rest of the slop that's released nowadays, it's alright. Watchable, almost good.
This shit is like some hallmark show made for women. Also I am sick to frick of these writers and their.
>secret squirrel operator >massive physical presence >doesn't have to worry about money >contacts to supply him with anything/everything
OMG HE'S SO AMAZING.
Show me some 5'6" soi cuck kissless virgin overcome all his shortcomings to come out on top by sheer will and a but of luck. Show me some fat hambeast of a man unfrick his life. SHOW ME SOMETHING NEW YOU FRICKS.
What I'm saying is there's no fricking tension when your MC is a massive killing machine who dominates everyone by default. He walks into a biker bar and you're like "he's about to beat everyone in that bar up" and then he beats everyone in that bar up. It's boring as shit and offers the average viewer nothing to relate to.
Can't wait to see a giant muscle-bound ex-soldier fighting people half his size.
He's literally me
Height, not weight.
And in person, not on the internet.
Can't wait to see him bone a qt cop a third of his size
Sasquatch hitting someone in the face with a cinderblock is better than Cruise somehow bodying people twice his size.

Great post, mate.
Also the scene where he creampies a cute petite blue-eyed blonde girl.
this is your giant muscle-bound ex-soldier:
>jack reacher without tom cruise
cringe
>Called Jack Reacher
>Too short to reach the top shelf in a supermarket

Its how Lee Child came up with the name Reacher
I can't.
i'm busy watching Terminal List S1, which is almost as bad as JR S1.
You’re father was secretly disappointed in you.
DadKino, gonna watch it with my pops
same
what's your dad's favorite movie? my dad's is The Negotiator
My dad rewatches The Pretender every year
My dad loves The Fugitive.
season 1 was the must fun I've had watching television in a while, consider me hyped
reacher bros, we're back
Is he natty?
Jack reacher is like James Bond or banshee: a shitty show for beta cucks addicted to power fantasies
Woman or liberal moment.
Need to feel his weight on top of me
gay
Sauce of trailer song?
Crazy by Heart
Thanks.

it's a good fricking movie honestly, the amazon series is a bit too cheesy at times

Fricking midge
He was a mary sue
How many comments per episode about how he's big are they allowed to shoehorn into the dialog?

How long before Reacher becomes the secondary character to a strong independent woman? You know it's going to happen.

Wut? Neagley was white, but she was woman.

nah thanks
What we need is a new season of blue mountain state

That's sounds pretty gay

An actually tall actor playing an action hero is new.

Braindead take, people without double digit IQs know that it doesn’t matter how big you are if you’re outnumbered.
No Roscoe no watch
Supercute face but disappointing nude body
The carjacker is 45 year old white guy with salt and pepper hair and a dad bod.
Because of course he is.
Can't wait til Steph's reaction video
>nosering
You should drop her
she's a pretty good reactor
Slampig
Reacher? I hardly know her!
am I the only one that thinks it's funny as shit?
the whole shtick is the 6'3 chad going around beating people up hahahah
The sudden extreme violence is what makes this show so great.
>:0018
was that a dinosaur scream?
i couldn't get passed the 1st ep of reacher s1 because of the annoying black guy. made even worse by constantly zooming in on his frickin face
>i couldn't get passed
>minority mad because he's looking at minorities on TV
lel
Big strong white guy beats up people with his fists the size of turkeys
Nice
1st season was good
The Terminal List was good too
Damn Amazon
I really didn't like Terminal List, it felt too goofy while at the same time taking itself super seriously. Really liked Reacher though
in the trailer there were more c**ts than protagonist
