>Reacher is a giant, standing at 6' 5" tall (1.96m) with a 50-inch chest, and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds (100–115 kg). He has ice-blue eyes and dirty blond hair. He has very little body fat, and his muscular physique is completely natural (he reveals in Persuader, he has never been an exercise enthusiast.) He is exceptionally strong but is not a good runner.[3] Reacher is strong enough to break a man's neck with one hand (Bad Luck and Trouble) and kill a villain with a single punch to the head (61 Hours) or chest (Worth Dying For). In a fight against a 7 foot, 400 lb steroid-using thug (Persuader), Reacher was able to lift his opponent into the air and drop him on his head.
Hahaha sure sounds like Cruise to me.
Owen Murphy
That all sounds like shit.
Aaron Jones
People actually bought and read that? That must be the other side of the shitty young adult genre.
Jack Russell
It's for closeted homos that like action and it's awesome
Jeremiah Clark
The movie was watchable and entertaining because of Tom Cruise. But reading shit like that sounds extremely painful.
Alexander Hall
Good luck finding someone who physically resembles that and is a decent enough actor to carry the movie.
Robert Edwards
>extremely painful. he's a big guy
Carson Watson
For you
Luis Johnson
>MY MAIN CHARACTER IS SUPER TALL, NO MANLETS ALLOWED, AMD SUPER FUCKING STRONG EVEN THOUGH HE HATES EXERCISE >HE CAN BREAK NECKS AND PUNCH BAD GUYS TO DEATH WITH ONE HAND >ORIGINAL CHARACTER: DONUT STEEL
Jesus Christ, is whoever writing these books totally serious or is this a commentary on Mary Sues?
Kayden Martin
Literally Arnold.
Joseph Lewis
heh... nothing personnel kid
Ian Garcia
If it was the 80's Dolph Lundgren would've been perfect. If it was the 90's Stone Cold could've done it.
Camden Collins
I can just imagine the kind of faggot nu-male that would read this trash.
Logan Sullivan
>Because it matters that the character from the movie matches the character from the movie in every minute physical detail.
Movie Reacher can be Tom Cruise and kill people through slightly different means if he isn't a magnificently strong meatball. The movie will still be fun.
Landon Adams
>faggot nu-male I used to work at a Borders and the only guys who ever bought these books were middle aged Dad types
Angel Ramirez
>115kg >low bodyfat doesn't exercise yeah, ok
Jaxson Harris
Is Jack Reacher basically Guts for grownup normal people then?
Austin Powell
literally shitty actors that only got work because of their size. Tom cruise makes a GOAT reacher despite being short.
Gabriel Barnes
You forgot the part describing his personality OP.
>Reacher's demeanor is stoic, and he does not talk much. He has a propensity for saying "that's for damn sure". Reacher frequently does not answer when people make statements or ask questions, nodding or shrugging, preferring the other party to fill the silence. A recurring line in the novels is "Reacher said nothing".
Josiah Garcia
>50-inch chest His chest is four feet? What is he, a fucking fridge?
John Torres
Nah it's easy to blast through, it's just airport fiction
Sebastian Martin
pretty sure that's circumfrence
Zachary Robinson
How much acting ability does it take to play Jack Reacher?
Ayden Hill
>this guy
Eli Collins
to play him? none really. To carry a movie and make it good, about as much acting ability that tom has.
Robert Bell
>forgetting hands the size of dinner plates
baka desu senpai
Camden Sanders
That was Colbie Smulder not Margot Robbie
Gavin Price
>"that's for damn sure." Does Cruise really go around saying that in these movies? I would torrent the first one immediately if this is the case.
Michael Green
>Reacher is a giant autistic killing machine Wew
Carson Cox
Well, having read the latest Reacher novel i say Lee Child sucks donkey dick. It's like having your works picked up by Hollywood makes your talent disappear.
Jayden Powell
Terry Crews would have been the perfect Reacher, proof me wrong!
