If you want to be angry at the man just taking up too much likeability. The guy who plays reacher is also a singer and song writer and speaks openly about the difficulties of being bipolar. He looks like heman and acts like that one neighbor who's just so god damn nice.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Reacher himself is kind of a jerk who just barely manages to come off as decent person purely by his interactions with random service staff and dogs. Like, most named characters he has plot related dialog with he is at best pretty aloof, and often just a butt head, and anybody who he even thinks might be hostile he will bring a frankly worrying amount of violence, no matter how much if any they brought.
But I have as of yet not heard anything bad about Alan Ritchson.
I don't like Reacher (no problem with the actor - he's good) because the character is too macho and posturing. He creates fights, and then wins them. I prefer scrappy underdogs who actually try to avoid violence, rather than instigating it while pretending to not want it.
Like, in the first series, where he rescues that dog. Obviously that was nice, and obviously the owner was an asshole, but Reacher machos at the guy until he starts something, and then Reacher finishes it. Either punch the guy for maltreating the dog and you're furious about that, or just help the dog. Don't help the dog in a way that is designed to piss off the abusive owner so you can be a badass while looking superficially innocent.
Same in the movie, where Tom Cruise says things like 'Remember, you wanted this' about violent situations that he himself fostered. He just escalates, all the time.
He's no Henry Cavill <swoons>. Or Raylon Givens <double swoon>.
Basically if it came down choosing to hang out with Reacher or Amos from Expanse I'd pick Amos every time because he's actually fun, and can be convinced to not shoot or punch literally every situation.
Man I don't know how you can hate Reacher but like Raylan when his first introduction is him literally killing a man he provoked.
I do like how second season of Reacher is having his nomad lifestyle be a lot more negative and lonely than it came off in season 1.
Because he also does a lot of things that avoid violence later on, talks about the wrongness of what he did, and honestly most of the people around him talk about he's a shitty person.
that said the character is a really transparent power fantasy and it's best just to recognize that and enjoy it the same way you might enjoy assassin's creed
hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

I think of the Reacher series like I think of Commando.
They happen in a separate universe. The Swoliverse.

Did anyone else picture the iconic big bicep handshake from "Predator" when they read this? Or was it just me? haha

One of the best parts is that he did it all because he thought it'd be a funny joke for the show. Just like he intentionally got that fat over a break between seasons because he thought it'd be funny for the show.

that is one thing I liked about the Tom Cruise Reacher; you actually believe that the antagonists think they could take him
with Ritchson it's like, am I really supposed to believe that four doughy teenagers thought they had a chance against this guy?
I don't know about these four specifically since I have not seen the show, but I have seen a lot of dumb teenagers who acted like thought they could take on the Terminator in a fight. Put them in group of 4? They think they could take on the Hulk, no problem.

Considering this survey where 8% of dudes thought they could beat a lion unarmed, I don't disagree with you.
I don't believe that 6% actually think they can take a bear. I believe that perhaps 6% answered that way in a stupid survey by YouGov, or it's just a meme.

I'm going to be charitable and say that most of those people don't legitimately believe they would win the fight, but can't mentally or emotionally deal with a scenario that has no ending where they live so they have to believe they can come out of it the winner somehow. If that's the case, I can sympathize.
Maybe if you got to watch videos beforehand to study how your opponent fights (not counting the bottom four)
There's a trick against crocodiles. It's impossible to hold their mouths open, but you can hold them closed. Though they will also try to roll and crush you with weight
Geese, lions, bears, whatever, why aren't we talking about the elephant in the room? How the eff does anybody think they could defeat an elephant unarmed? I doubt I could lightly bruise an unconscious elephant.

OK, so you've got a crocodile with its mouth clamped closed: now what? Wait until it dies from hunger a year later?

No, of course not. That's ridiculous. Once you've clamped its mouth, then you eat the crocodile.

Swans, but it's a myth. They can not remotely break your arm.
No, they have to be close up

People have survived falling out of airplanes without parachutes, too.

Swans (and geese) are more into the bruising and ripping of flesh.
