Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My Issue With Reacher

Just watched the first two episodes. My issue is that he has the chiseled physique of someone who spends hours a day in a serious bodybuilder gym, is on a highly specialized diet, and is taking a concoction of anabolic steroids. He looks rather like a finalist in a 1970s Mr. Universe contest. That doesn't match up with his character being a drifter without a home base.

They need to do a better job of explaining that. Like in Walking Tall, they explained The Rock's physique by him being recently retired from professional wrestling.

Otherwise, the show is pretty good, but that is a glaring problem.

Have you read the Reacher books?
He is 6ft 4in and 235 lbs
The show is modeled from the series

Clouds. Go yell at them.

In the book do they explain how he's a drifter with a physique like a finalist in a 1970s Mr. Universe contest?

this is tyranny can we rebel yet

old white guys and they teevee programs

I don't consider Reacher lean or cut at all. I see someone who's physically fit, has muscle which is explained from a former life in the military, ironically exactly the same as Dwayne's in Walking Tall as he was former SF in his backstory.

A person who mostly walks around and doesn't have a home might most often pick up odd jobs that are manual - construction or farm for walking money which would also keep his build in shape.

That and - it's a TV show, not a Netflix Documentary where you have Chris Rock playing George Washington.

Then Tom Cruise should never been cast.

It's not just guys. You should see the stupid crap my boomer wife watches.

Do you think Longmire is actually a sheriff in Wyoming?

Looks like a re-boot of the ATeam.

I been seeing a shît ton of flat bed work trucks lately with chubby neckbeards wearing aviator shades.

I always think they’re headed to a biker bar to kick everyones ass singlehandedly like Tip. Yeah that’s totally believable in my old white guy teevee fantasies

Is Longmire the show that has a summer camp every year in Wyoming? My fishing buddy and his wife did that camp one year. Ok boomer.

if that actor is 6'4" and that heavily muscled, he would weigh over 300 lbs. I agree that the actor is a bit too buff, but he is still a much better fit than fugging Tom Cruise.

This^^^

It's hollywood. It's "entertainment".

Be entertained, or just change the damn channel.

Do you spend a lot of time looking at male body builders?

I’m thinking gladiator movies 😂

You’re better than this, Brother .

(Yes, he does)

That’s funny.

In the books he is described as a freak of nature, genetically gifted to be a brawler. His brother, who dies, is supposed to be just like him only taller and leaner. They had to fight at every base that their father got transferred to when they were kids.
