In the latest Reacher novel he whips up on seven bikers in a bar parking lot, yep...seven.
Since when? The only obligation they have is to make money. It has been that way since the dawn of cinema. Depending on the details of their agreement... once a studio obtains the rights to a particular property, they can do with it as they damn well please. Don't act like Lee Child hasn't made money off of these movies also.

I totally agree the bottom line is always $$$$$$. All movies made using real people/literary characters there is an attempt made to keep it kinda realistic. Davey will always die at The Alamo, The Hulk will be big and bad, etc.
Who is acting like Child didn't make $$$$? It was $$$$$$$$$ as to why Tom Cruise. Have a Tom Cruise movie,oh by the way he's playing...........
So you agree they had no obligation to depict a fictional character exactly the same as he was in the books. Good. We can move on then.
lol changing the subject again.
The subject is ripping arms off.
To a point, there will always be realism it's just to what degree. I wonder sometimes if after the deal has been made things aren't what they were suppose to be.
Pavlov, how many times are you going to be wrong in one night.
Dude, mix a strong one and just watch how it's done for awhile, your game is sucking, so...take notes.
OK, show me some dude ripping off another dudes arms in real life.
Ya might wanna sit ....ah....stand up for this one.
Pavlov., my little buddy.......I do hate to break it to ya like this but......there is no Jack Reacher, ya see little friend he's just an imagined character made up by Lee Child......sorry.
And while you're here.....pro wrestling is fake......honest it is.
I know he's fictional. I said the arm ripping wasn't realistic. If that character is ripping arms off those are some stupid ass books.
Then why say...
OK, show me some dude ripping off another dudes arms in real life.
Well? Who was talking real life?
Little man, why did Hollywood make two Jack Reacher movies if the books sucked, now think little guy.
I've read all that ens, Hemingway. Poe, London, Steinbeck, Hesse, Sinclair Lewis, Malamud etc stuff. They got nothing on the Jack Reacher novels.
That would make it realistic.
You really needed that explained to you?
lol Avante
Pavlov, hahahahaha~~~~~~~ Dude, you get nothing ever do ya?
Little man, the Reacher novels are like all action moves/books, a lot of tongue in cheek when it comes to violence. Nobody beats up 4-5-6-7 grown men. I don't care who you are. That is routine for Reacher.
Not really suppose to be realistic, this is escapism literature, you want an escape from reality.
Pavlov, that really had to be explained to ya son
TRIPWIRE
Reacher is in Key West, digging pools by hand and moonlighting as a bouncer for a topless bar. He discovers the body of a New York investigator hired by "Mrs. Jacob" to find him. He finds out that she is attorney Jodie Garber, daughter of General Leon Garber, Reacher's recently-deceased mentor and surrogate father in the Army. She wants his help investigating her father's last project, a search on behalf of the elderly parents of their military MIA son. Having inherited a house and gained a steady girlfriend, Reacher contemplates a sedentary life as he and Jodie find themselves hunted by a psychopath businessman and military criminal crippled in the Vietnam War, who has a shadowy business and other secrets to protect.
How many 5-7 bouncers out there?
Oh, so you can suspend your disbelief enough that you can accept arms being ripped off by some dude?
Disbelief about what?
Little guy named Jimmy the Rat has some info Reacher wants. He finds the Rat in a bar.
Something like this.
Reacher....need to talk to you
Rat.... off
Reacher....one last chance, we need to talk.
Rat....(his buddies picking up n what is going on)....bummer.
Reacher....ok you had your chance.
He then precedes to kick ass on seven big bikers.
Then...
Reacher,,,,ok Rat let's talk.
Rat...(looking aroind at his posse all laid out)...ok. so what is it?
Dude, ya really don't get it do ya?
Some guy ripping another guy's arms off.
Nope, not at all. Like I said if need be there is no doubt he could do it.
Oh, so it's just not realistic at all.
A little fantasy for you.
Cool.
Pavlov, wrong once again.
Jack Reacher says things like “I will break your legs. I will break your arms. I will break your neck.” If Reacher says these things to you, Reacher will break your legs. And your arms. And your neck.
Reacher is a drifter who uses military training to murder people.
Reacher only murders bad guys, though, and is so likeable that no one is mad about his coast-to-coast trail of broken-necked corpses.
Reacher has had friends, family, lovers. Reacher knows they are unnecessary. Reacher’s solitary life is elegant. But who can he call for help?
Reacher would have known that was a trick question. Reacher doesn’t need help—not even to break out of prison.
Reacher breaks out of prison in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (hereafter referred to as Jack Reacher: Never! Go! Back!). Not only does Reacher make the guards look like goofs, he breaks someone else out of prison too! No prison can hold Reacher.
Reacher could be president, but he knows he can do more good by drifting and murdering.
Reacher beats up (murders?) two men on a busy airplane in Jack Reacher: Never! Go! Back! Here’s how good Reacher is: Nobody on the airplane even notices.
Reacher has two pals in Jack Reacher: Never! Go! Back! They are Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), who might be a romantic pal, and Samantha Dayton (Danika Yarosh), who might be an illegitimate daughter pal. They can both hold their own. Reacher has no interest in pals who cannot hold their own.
Reacher knows, deep in his tough-guy heart, that one should never go back—that, almost always, one will regret doing so. In Jack Reacher: Never! Go! Back!, Reacher goes back. The only people who regret it are the bad guys.
Work with me here munchkin
This is not sci fi, fantasy, this is the world as we know it with a larger than life dude wandering around doing good and when up against bad guys he is the badder guy.
I know....huh?
Blah, blah, blah.
It's a fictional character doing unrealistic things like ripping off arms.
A fantasy.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
Exactly. You just keep going on about a guy who doesn't even exist.
