Being a Reacher fan that has read all the books i have to say that the choice to pick Alan as Reacher was the best thing they ever did. It's not that Tom didn't play Reacher well it's just that anyone that has read Reacher automatically has an idea of how he looks and Alan fits that description perfectly.

@Jasbris 5 ай бұрын

This is how I always felt too. Cruise did an amazing job capturing Reacher's tone and demeanor, 10/10, but he was never going to match Reacher's anthropometric characteristics. He did, however, do such a great job with the movies that we got to have individual Reacher novels as whole well thought out seasons. I'm so glad they cast Alan Ritchson as Reacher. I was skeptical at first, having been a fan of Blue Mountain State. I didn't think he would be able to match Tone and Demeanor, but he grows into it throughout season 1, and fully embodies Reacher in Season 2. I love the books and I love the series on Prime.

Well, he had a legitimate reason to be on TRT, he's 40 and trying to be Reacher. TRT in it's recommended dose is completely fine and might give you a *bit* of and edge, but more or less just does what it says, replaces your testosterone. TRT gets abused A LOT by people who don't need it, which is why it gets a bad rap. TRT isn't banned in a lot of martial arts sports if you stay within the recommended dose and you prove you actually need it.

Season 2 was complete rubbish compared to 1, real shame as I like most people thought it would be amazing. Poor story , writing basically everything that made season 1 so good was dreadful in 2 . As for his cheat day information -everydays a cheat day - utter nonsense if you want to remain lean zero chance when your eating so much refined sugar, carbs etc. if it was the case everybody would be on the “Crispy Cream donut diet and be single digit fat content. Hilarious to think anybody with a basic understanding of diet would believe such lies.

Mike Mentzer talked a lot about this but his point was that you only need to work out enough to break down muscle so it may rebuild. You don’t have to go crazy for 8hrs in the gym. And for Alan he works out every day so it probably is mostly just calories for him. He doesn’t eat trash food all the time but a couple times a week probably isn’t bad.
