The pilot episode had some good scenes showing off his height and physique. Like the prison cell scene or the shower scene. Personally I'm not a fan of his steroids look from s2. He was believable enough in season 1 and they didn't have to turn him into a walking (and not so much running) tank.
Did the actress say something dumb on social media or something? If these are sarcastic comments I'm confused on why.
It wasn't sarcasm.
I guess I feel like she wasn't 'super skilled and the best', but instead she just simply didn't do the 'action hero' thing with most of her decisions like the rest of the main cast unless she was forced into it.
So you've seen s2 and you didn't get bored with those two lines? Strange.
I did, but I also got bored with all of Reacher's catchphrases too(Assumptions kill) being used almost every episode. I also got bored with Reacher doing the 'No' moment with bad guys. I got bored with Dixon having almost zero character development aside from 'I want Reacher in bed'. I got bored with O'Donnell constantly marvel-quipping. I got bored with the detective this season constantly wanting to pick a fight with everyone. I think you see where I'm going with this...
You're right! The entire season is filled with repeatable catchphrases, typical tropes, weird cuts, and bad writing. That's why I'm saying singling out Neagley as a problem is odd when she's part of an entire season of problems.
At what point is there an "anti-Reacher" of some sort of evil hulking brute genius for him to fight or a severely crippled "all brain" type villain? Because S2 had rando mooks to be mowed down and Patrick as the MOST INEPT evil "mastermind" in existence. The actual evil terrorist in S2 was woefully underused.
I'm going to summarize the book they're using for season 3 behind spoilers.
You really don’t think Alan Richson is a relatively huge dude?
If anyone wants a much better modern espionage/undercover streaming show than what Reacher S3 is about to offer, check out Slow Horses with Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden.
Good show, just resubbed to apple tv and started season 3 last night!
Can't wait for the scene where 5 Paulies roll up on Reacher and Neagley in a parking lot.
I think a lot of the "Training supplementation" these days gives that thick waist look. The 'roids of the past didn't do it. I thought Zane took the wasp waist "ab vacuum" look too far,
Could be BS sure. Dude still looks plenty big to me to be intimidating in person.I haven't seen season 2, but I don't think so. I think most of these dudes are lying. Arnold said the heaviest he could get to at 6'2 was 245lbs with fat on his body and he was crazy massive and dense. Dude had concrete slabs for muscle. 240lbs and lean is just insane to pull off. There's videos of fitness dudes/athletes claiming to weigh a certain amount and they pull out a weight scale and they're always lying. They weigh less. I'd guess Ritchson was 225lbs in season 1 if he's 6'4. Not small or tiny of course but people in the show act like he's some 300lbs monster. I'm nearly 270lbs(not lean) at 6'5 and I see people that dwarf me and no one cares. Relatively small town.

His chest is particularly big, his upper body in general which is going to make him look big in clothing.
I dunno in a show with plenty to criticize this guy being called a gorilla seems pretty low on the list lol
Modern BB'ing has gotten to the point where Arnold himself has called it out: It should be about crafting the aesthetically ideal physique, not getting as big as possible.I think a lot of the "Training supplementation" these days gives that thick waist look. The 'roids of the past didn't do it. I thought Zane took the wasp waist "ab vacuum" look too far,
but aesthetically Arnie, Franco, and others of his era had it nailed imho.
But of course I think multiple surveys show women prefer the svelte look
but fuck 'em, GO GET PUMPED!!!!
Wo else used to carry this monster with them to the gym??
Yeah, for all the back and forth running in place they did for the middle part of this season, seeing 2 "do not mess with the Special Investigators" get caught off camera and then just turn into passive dolls for Reacher to rescue seemed odd. And a "I hope I get handcuffed where I can reach my shoe" plan seems.......optimistic at best. Would have been better if he had those nails stashed all over OR they had foreshadowed that this was a talent he had instead of a deux ex machina escape tactic.
Yeah that was just incredibly lazy.
