Which is better?
No not the actors, but the fictional people.

Apples to oranges because they are completely different types of characters.

Both enjoyable.

Fender, Gibson

vodka bourbon

Jack Reacher

^^^^

I forgot to add that I like both characters but for different reasons.

Can someone ask AI and post the response

Asked AI who would win, Jack Reacher vs Jack Ryan….

Answer;
Neither character is a superhero and their relatability stems from their mortality and faith in others. Due to his hulking physique, Reacher would likely beat Ryan in a physical showdown, but due to their morality, it's unlikely that the two would ever come to blows.


Was more curious what the campfire masses would think.

Are you a Wabigoon sockpuppet?

Jack Benny?

Jack Ryan because i read all of Tom Clancy's books.

John Kelly

After the first season, I thought that Jack Ryan was super incredibly amazingly stupid. Reacher was never of the highest level, but never yet got that stupid.

F those two. John Clark. Clancey knew in his books.

A Clancy fan for sure!

Reacher has a funny walk. He wins in a fight though.

Clancys Mr. Clark was a serious badass!

I like them both for various reasons. I tend to go towards Ryan tho, just starting season 3 now. Season 2 meh, they could have done better with the weapons.

Wish they'd do a series with Dirk Pitt - but I imagine the environment creates astronomical costs.

Reacher

Ryan has a hot wife

I had hoped the Dirk Pitt movie would turn into a series of movies like Bond or Mission Impossible. But, it didn't.

Audie Murphy

I am not a real fan of either of them. If you view them as a reflection of their creator though, I would pick Jack Ryan. Lee Child has gone full woke and lefty

I have always thought a CIA agent living a double life is interesting. Reacher lives one life, military style at all times.

Chuck would kick both their asses.

At the same time with one arm behind his back.

If you know, you know.

Ya but reacher always bangs a hot one and doesn’t have to put up with her afterwards.

two great actors, One great movie and a very cool series. Nothing to hate or compare.

And he’s 84 flipping years old!

Chuck Norris of course, lol

I only read the first four or five Clancy books. They got to long.

I've probably read 20 Reacher books. They blend together after awhile. Him being a loaner/drifter gets a bit old. Ryan had a wife and kids.
