with alot of roids and peds of course.

What a stupid post.

Constant walking, fasting, getting up with the sun and going to sleep at sunset... It might kill you but you'll be doing a routine whether you like it or not

I mean it's fiction. That part isn't half as unbelievable as the cops and feds being the good guys

This is just a trope everywhere and it's absurd. Like Project Hail Mary. Yep, a school physics teacher is chiseled and looks like a shaggy sex teddy bear dog. Just like every other physics teacher I've met. Yep.

Actually infuriating is that this show is touted by anyone as “the greatest show on streaming now” or even “greatest show ever.”

This show is popular because it has the moral intelligence of a toddler and stars a beefcake with way more charm than he has any right to.

Maybe he has that mutation like some whippets.

Yeah Reacher is just fantasy. He eats like a pig, never has access to a shower and he is built like Mr Universe.

[off topic]

Here are a few book series that have a tough, lone wolf hero who actually seems human.

Parker by Richard Stark. 'The Hunter,' 'The Seventh,' and 'Firebreak' Parker is a professional thief. He works with a rotating crew of specialists. Harlan Ellison said that the author was the best writer he knew of.

Easy Rawlins and Fearless Jones by Walter Mosley. 'Fearless Jones' and 'The Devil In a Blue Dress.' Both men operate in LA circa 1946 to 1980. Fearless' adventures are narrated by his pal, a skinny bookstore owner who would rather avoid trouble, but rarely does. Easy is in more books, but they do team up occasionally.

Travis McGee by John D. MacDonald. 'The Deep Blue Goodbye,' and 'A Tan and Sandy Silence.' Trav is a Florida beach bum who lives in a houseboat he won in a poker game. When his retirement funds run low he reluctantly seeks out crime victims who are unable to go to the police. A con man who isn't afraid of a fight.

Any of these is miles ahead of any Reacher book.

Watched it for the first time recently. I thought Reacher was autistic because he seems so socially awkward and has a monotone, emotionless delivery of dialogue.

Hobo, not vagrant.

I find the quality of the writing to be more infuriating, but you're not wrong.

Have you noticed very few jacked characters lift any weights on tv? The only times I can recall a gym scene was on Brooklyn Nine Nine and Firefly.

Take my words for what they are but I knew a man that lived pretty much like Reacher when I was a kid and the man was pretty fit and muscular, only lean.

The man would travel from place to place, doing odd jobs, working in the fields, picking fruit, doing welding and metal working jobs, etc.

He was phisically fit. Not muscular like this actor but his body showed strenght. You could see the muscles contracting under his skin when he applied force to something.

He stopped by my grandparents village one summer and stayed for about a month, working in the fields. One day some neighbour asked him to chop down an old tree and cut it into chunks to dry for firewood. He use a single axe to do the job. Every time the blade hit that old trunk it felt as if the ground shook.
