Wasn't he a total jackass in Blue Mountain State?

While I enjoyed this version of reacher i feel like it was a shorter less good version of Banshee.
Shenaniganz84
That was a great series.

Alan Ritchson. So buff bro beans

Thank god they got Thad. I want him in more stuff.
ImmoralWombat
That episode where he goes on a Vision quest and speaks to a wise version of Thad blew my mind, like “holy shit this guy can act!”
Se7entwo
Blue Mountain State is hilarious and underrated!

COCAINE!!

This dude is a perfect representation of my interpretation of Reacher. Not the 5'7" dude they put in the movie.
Flowerlady0
This show is unusually entertaining. I look forward to seeing the next season.

My wife and I were watching this very episode the night of the Oscars shortly after Will slapped Chris.

TZO2k15
Two of my favorite actors/comedians are both Will Smith and Chris Rock, that slap has done nothing to sway my opinion of them.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
This Reacher interpretation was WAAAAY better than Tom Cruise. I bought it and hope the keep going with the series.
MrHailstone
It really surprised me. Started it because i Was bored, expectet nothing and binged the whole thing in one go. Really good
demonkeeperd11
Seconded
Datsinginguy
Agreed. It was excellent except in my mind Teacher wasn't quite as ridiculously handsome. But his delivery was on point.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
In the books, Reacher is described as being NOT exceptionally handsome, just fair-looking.
ChefLes
Anything is better without Tom Cruise.
Fejerro
Bad Luck and Trouble coming up next. It's the first Reacher book I ever read.
ilikeyousomuchbetterwhenyourenaked
Me too! I got it for 2 bucks from a charity shop and binge read it one night when I couldn’t sleep
SpicyPeanuts27
Which is the one where he goes to France to prevent the assassination? That's the one I would like to see made into a series.
TagaryenFangirl
I think the one you’re after is called “Personal”. But he’s not trying to stop an assassination, he’s investigating a failed one.
SpicyPeanuts27
That's right. I should reread that one. I wish they would do that one. It was one of my favorites
sirava
Finlay was spot on too. Credit to Goodwin. No offense to Roscoe since the character wasnt very interesting in the book either.
Quixus
Roscoe was the little female cop?
Irarelypostbutwhenidoitsucks
With them Itty bitties
mrsdowneyjr
Roscoe was amazing
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
The latest novel (Better off Dead) was enjoyable. "Andrew" is getting the hang of the character.
TheFunGuyinOz
Just finished it myself only 2 days ago. You nailed it
Inphinitie
Ya I didn’t mind it either. Not my top choice but not his worst.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Yeah exactly. When you're writing an annual pulp fiction book though, they won't all be winners. The weakest IMO was the Dr. Moreau ripoff.
Inphinitie
I’m trying to think of which one you mean. I didn’t particularly like ‘make me’ about the dark web stuff
sirava
Hmm. May have to give it a try. Usually I stop when the original author stops. Weird loyalty I guess.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
It isn't a bad rule of thumb. This one did a better job than the first few. Made for an enjoyable audio book while doing yard work.
sirava
I mean let's be honest, Reacher novels are pulp romance novels for men. It's not a super high bar and I'm ok with that.
PolarHailStorm
He's paying attention to the smaller Reacher details I feel Lee has been dwindling on. Stories have gone a little downhill recently.
PolarHailStorm
61 hours was a peak, then dips until Never Go Back, then a slow decline from there.
Irongrip09
Critical drinker said reacher in the books is a bit of a dull, charisma drain (I assume he means outside of action or investigation) true?
PolarHailStorm
I don't think so. He's got a straight-forward approach to things which include his hobbies/likes/etc, and I wouldn't call that a drain.
areyouelonmusk
Way too much stupid sex scenes. I'm watching for cool action shit. If i wanted to see fucking I'd watch porn.
yoyo42
If porn had ANY subtlety left I'd agree. There is a huge gap between what was in this and porn.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
It was true to the character and novel though. I don't feel like Reacher is the most "action shit" series you could look for either.
KeylessChuck
There was more than one?
ikbendewalrus
Nope, just the one...
SpicyPeanuts27
That didn't happen in the book
YoureWaifuAShit
but did he swing dong?
LTSmasher001
Still too small.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
Except for the part where he broke out of those little bitty zip ties. I could have broken out of those
Duraxis
He had to be a bit more talkative and charismatic in the series as we can’t hear internal monologues, but apart from that, spot on
retepronnoco
I believe it’s been ordered up for two more seasons.
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
I hope the music continues to be as good.
nomanstanzalo
season 2 is confirmed
sunfried
1 season confirmed, 2 strongly suspected.
VoicesByJAE
And 3 movies. Seriously
sunfried
Ritcheson has a 3-movie deal, but whether or not they'll be Reacher-related is yet to be confirmed.
alpacasaurusrex
I never read the books & I enjoyed TC’s version because he’s a good actor & he does most of his stunts & does them well. But I also have a
alpacasaurusrex
weird distaste for the actor playing him now & have always found him bland & wooden. Kinda dead behind the eyes. Weirdly my mom RAILED at
alpacasaurusrex
the TC version because he wasn’t “accurate/too small” but I forced her to watch it & she said she didn’t like they cast someone “5’7” but he
alpacasaurusrex
was believable enough if you just pretended it wasn’t the actual Jack Reacher but someone else.
yoyo42
They were decent enough films, but they weren't Jack Reacher films.
alpacasaurusrex
There was more than one? O_O I just remember the first one. Idk, I just think the dude in whatever show i keep getting suggested has the
yoyo42
Yeah first was just "Jack Reacher" (based on One Shot) then the second was "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back" from the book of the same name.
alpacasaurusrex
Shit. Thanks! I had no idea. I just remember the one. Now I’ll have to see the other! Tbh, I liked the first one. But I also like him as
Guidocat
Never read the books, tom cruise was subtle and understated, this guy was cocky and wanted attention. The books matched this better?
Damiv
Reacher is pure super hero power fantasy, so yeah.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
"book" Reacher is definitely defiant and cocky.
CGWN
Kind of, yes. Reacher - despite his attempts at barroom philosophy - is supposed to be a bit of a blunt object.
mycoffeeartjourney
They nailed that. I enjoyed it. It felt like "what if Taken was extra American"
RawrLouder
And he's supposed to be fucking HUGE.
afsdpckapjadfkasef
Thad is huge
captainhappen
Reacher said nothing. But when he does he's an arrogant know it all dick.
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Cruise isn’t even 6’ tall, Reacher is supposed to be huge.
FatBastardVegetarian
And a mesomorph. Jacked without trying. Books said he's 6'5".
Irarelypostbutwhenidoitsucks
I knew a guy like that, played hockey with him and joined the army at the same time years later. Super nice, absolutely jacked. Not tall tho
abidikgubidik
Bad guys refer to him as Sasquatch in one of the more recent books
Sith4Sale
With fists the size of frozen turkeys if I remember correctly
DoseOfScience
In this particular instance, I believe Reacher was alluding to threatening people's family.
LupusLilium
No, this was when he was being a smart ass towards him. To be fair I'd be pissed too if I were also arrested at gunpoint for simply walking
LupusLilium
into town, put into a jail where someone sent thugs to kill me then still viewed me as a suspect despite being railroaded, and had just been
LupusLilium
informed the guy I supposedly killed was my brother. Reacher simply pointed out Finlay's attitude (sorta) might be why they divorced.
Hellstorm99
Will Smith was justified in being upset, not justified in violence. There is WAY more to the story between the two. Unsubstantiated claims
DarkRedCape
Way more, such as?
Hellstorm99
Unsubstantiated claims that Chris Rock and Jada got into it and that Smith and rock refused to work together. It seemed, likely bullshit
Hashbrown123
He was not justified at being upset either. He was laughing at the joke just like everyone else.
Hellstorm99
Nervous or uncomfortable response? Doesn't seem to be staged, just with Jada's alopecia...
TheEmeraldProphylactic
The joke is that Jada looks like Demi Moore. You know Demi Moore? That beautiful actress who looked amazing with no hair?!
Hellstorm99
But Jada Pinkett Smith isn't bald because of a movie, it is because of a medical condition. She was hurt. So Will Smith reacted.
Hellstorm99
Alopecia. She doesn't have a choice, Demi Moore was playing a role, this is Jada's life. There is a difference.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Ricky Gervais’ analysis is excellent. He compared Will Smith’s wife to Demi Moore. It was as much a compliment as a joke. It want an insult.
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Demi Moore challenged societies ideas of what a woman should look like, or can achieve, in GI Jane. Jada says she feels beautiful. No issue.
Hellstorm99
Also, she didn't do shit. It was just a movie. Women have been fighting that fight for far longer than when she got involved.
Hellstorm99
Stop justifying what you don't know so you can feel righteous. Who are you protecting here?
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Isn’t that what you’re doing? Don’t get me wrong, I’d have much preferred the joke to be about their relationship, but that’s also cruel.
Hellstorm99
Her alopecia aside, who was Chris Rock to come after her? It wasn't in good fun, it was standard comedian cruelty at an inappropriate time
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Sorry let me make a note:
1) comedians shouldn’t make jokes about Hollywood stars being in Hollywood films based on aesthetic similarities
TheEmeraldProphylactic
Glad we sorted this one out!
