"I'm going to tell my boss you're a cop!" Me, 5'10" with a winning smile, confidently sliding between Reacher and a desk with an upright steel spike

I want a crossover where Reacher meets the always totally psychopathic town bully in a Stephen King novel.

Reacher is a comedy, no one can convince me otherwise

There is a certain size you get, where regular sized dudes try to start fights with you. I am just under that size (6'3", 210 pounds), but my buddy (6'4" 230#s) has guys trying to provoke him nearly every time we go to a bar.

Also 6'4" and 230lbs Can confirm!

As a 5’8.5er with a rudimentary understanding of physics I was not aware of this phenomenon. Must be pretty funny from up there.

I hung out with an ex-MMA fighter for a while that looked it. Bald head, incredibly jacked, cauliflower ears, size of a moose, etc. . .and every single time we went drinking some smaller idiot would try to start shit. He spent more energy trying to talk them down than actually beating their ass.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has a story about someone swinging on him at a grocery store, *ducks a punch* "Brother, you do not want to play with me."

Yes. My friend quit going to bars because of this. He has recently discovered that the guys at the American Legion don’t harass him.

BULLY (sees a man who would be a gladiator in ancient Rome): I can take him

REACHER: It’s a bad day to be a plate glass window

The third guy in any situation watching Reacher demolish his friends with zero effort: my time to shine.

As a 6'4 dude I actually really enjoy that Reacher does a really good job of showing all the little discomfort being that height is day today. Beds being too short, adjusting cushions on couches, etc... One of bigger inaccuracies is that a guy that size can walk intoa store and find clothes that fit

You've got to admire their confidence, really. They really think they might be able to beat him up. They're so confident that if they're in a group, they wait to attack him one by one. I wish I had that sort of belief in my own abilities.

“Oh fuck I didn’t realize he was a block away how does he keep getting bigger”

heard there was a large man just rolled into town. he’d better not cause any trouble, i tell you what. (checks watch) welp it’s time for me to go harass a woman or dog without fear of consequences, as i so often do

This is the most sincere LOL I've had in a while - great skeet!

when a townie miscreant sees a huge fucker for some reason they simply gotta sneer "what are YOU looking at" they can't help it

The miscreants lackeys occasionally gotta say yeah man ima sit this one out

they are descended from the NPCs in the witcher 3 who pick fights with geralt and then die in one hit

"That guy we paid to fight a nightmare bog monster? What a fucking WIMP. What's he gonna do, stab me like he stabbed the monster head he has dangling from his saddle? I'm the toughest guy in this village of 15 people. My job is to hammer in fence posts with my forehead."

My one real issue with the show is how silly it is that so many people see Reacher and are 100% sure they can kick his ass.

Truth in television, surprisingly! In my younger years I was friends with a rugby player who was an absolute giant of a man. Every time we went out drinking, some guy shorter than me (5’10) would always try and start something with my giant friend. Every time, without fail. It was so predictable.

To be book accurate it would be REACHER (BLOTTING OUT THE SUN).......... my favorite thing in the novels is just counting how often you get a REACHER SAID NOTHING!

Supposedly Lee Child quickly got around to making a macro for that sentence.
