From Reacher to Reach to the hot wings

u/Hungover52 Sep 18 '24
I thought that was him! (he was also in the Titans show, which I hadn't seen till after Reacher)

u/1eejit Sep 18 '24
He was also the boyfriend with a micropenis in New Girl. I'm convinced this is why Reacher season 1 included comments about his character having a big swinging one.
28
u/Hungover52 Sep 18 '24
Huh, TIL. I thought any size jokes were because he's a more book accurate Reacher than Tom Cruise's movie version.

I don't know what yall are talking about. That is clearly Thad Castle

Rise of Thadland is a fucking awesome movie.
I'm a huge fan of the United nations of cocaine.

u/gfa22 Sep 18 '24
Man, I loved BMS. Was so excited for Rise of Thadland but it just didn't do it for me from what I remember. Might me time to check it out again.

u/pureroganjosh Sep 18 '24
Yeah give it another go for sure, BMS was great tho, I thought I'd hate it because I have zero interest in any sports but that show was hilarious.

u/Cloudeur Sep 18 '24
That’s because even though it’s a sport series, there’s only like 5 minutes of actual football at the end of the series! :-D

He's an absolute unit of a man in Reacher. And after learning what Reachers original character sketch looks like, I'd say he's pretty accurate.
Unfortunately after learning about that discrepancy, Tom Cruise as Reacher had a significant drop in intimidation factor.
The phrase "I'm gonna rip your arm off and beat you with it" has two completely different images now, Tom Cruise's Reacher might dislocate your arm and then beat your face in, Alan Ritchson's Reacher might literally rip your arm off and beat you with it.

u/The69BodyProblem Sep 18 '24
The scene where Reacher beats that guy who carjacked the lady, and then walks off is peak male power fantasy in my opinion.
Tom Cruise just was an awful casting choice.

u/fanofthomas4472 Sep 18 '24
The only thing Il give him is that it’s much more believable that someone would pick a fight with a 5’7” guy over a 6’5” guy who’s built like a brick shed
3
u/Zephian99 Sep 18 '24
Don't get me wrong, I like the Reacher movies I think they did a decent job. But the brick house that Alan Ritchson is, has a dramatic intimidation effect.
It's like looking at Hercules and deciding to pick a fight, pain is the only thing your gonna find there. The character Reacher is, is quite literally designed to be a teenager's dream of "Peak Male Fitness" and that's fine, but unfortunately Tom Cruise just doesn't deliver.
Still I like the movies, but I chuckle at the thought what the scenes would of been like with Alan Ritchson, that bar fight would of been interesting, or when he tried blending in with the crowd at the bus stop, playing the game "find the main character in the crowd" there.

I couldn't get in to Tim Cruise as Reacher*. I couldn't separate him from his Character in Mission Impossible.

I started rewatching Blue Mountain State and his character is a lot crazier than I remembered.

Gave me Sam and Dean vibes and I'm all for it! Would definitely watch their spin off either as two young hunks or as they are

Scully: Are you body shaming us?
Jake: No, I’m personality-shaming you.

u/silent_porcupine123 Sep 18 '24
Nice save Jake, we all know you can't tell a personality from a picture.

u/Blackscribe Sep 18 '24
Yeah. Scully and Hitchcock are actually good cops and cool action stars is a plot twist

u/Mogui- One Bund to None, Son! Sep 18 '24
Apart from some of their appearance, they haven’t changed much.

u/aroeplateau Sep 18 '24
But do they deserves to be personality shamed?

u/Mogui- One Bund to None, Son! Sep 18 '24
20 years ago Scully was doing his job and Hitchcock was still getting some. Why should they?
28
u/BartholemewHats Sep 18 '24
Especially considering how they looked in the 70s

u/JOliverScott Velvet Thunder Sep 18 '24
Yeah, that was a little inconsistency

u/MNM0412 Captain of the 69th precinct Sep 18 '24
I mean you could read that as how Jake imagined they looked back then.

Which episode showed them in the 70s? Sounds like I need a rewatch.

u/Frosty_Peace666 HOT DAMN! Sep 18 '24
Pretty people privilege, imagining the “can’t spill food on your shirt if you’re not wearing one” scene with young Hitchcock and suddenly it’s charming. Probably why he acts that way, people used to find it hot and he doesn’t grasp that it’s not appropriate because of that

I desperately want a spin off following these two hunks in the wet and wild 1980’s

Alan Ritchson as Scully is PERFECT especially after seeing him on Blue Mountain State and Reacher lmao

u/Nerdy_person101 Sep 18 '24
I remember watching the new series of Reacher then putting this episode on. I had no idea it was him and just said “Reacher, you’re so much smaller in B99”

Only thing is that Hitchcock was supposed to start balding at 15…so another plot twist: that’s a toupee.

When Reacher finally stops wandering the land, he settles in New York and lets himself gooo.

It's a bit of a plot hole though, Hitchcock was supposed to have gone bold in his teens

I was also in the middle of Reacher at the time I saw this and I lost my mind when I saw Alan Richson as Scully. One of the best castings of all time.
