Fans Compare Jack Reacher to Chuck Norris Memes

Chuck Norris may have started out his journey as a martial artist, but over the years, thanks to his appearances in multiple action movies, he became a legend among fans. Most notably, a plethora of memes about Chuck Norris being able to handle almost anything thrown at him with ease started to float on the internet. In simple terms, it made Norris seem like an indestructible force regardless of the situation in which he was put.

Well, does this sound familiar? Reacher fans on Twitter believe that the protagonist of the series is actually similar to those memes, and he can never be destroyed regardless of the field.

Man I’m watching Reacher and I’m so tense, a biker has confronted Reacher and taken Reacher’s gun, then pulled a knife and announced he is going to gut Reacher and leave him to die.

I finally watched an episode of Reacher and it’s entertaining but lol. He is bigger than everyone and better at fighting than everyone, better at law than the police and Harvard lawyers, better at science than the nerds. Chuck Norris memes from 20 years ago but an actual show.

I love how in real life the guy with the knife has a much better chance of winning and a solid chance of killing the bigger man but in fiction pulling a knofe basically just giving the good guy a knife to stab you with.

There’s no way he- welp he did it again. Used his extremely large and muscular body to win the day

I usually don’t like shows like this but I love Reacher. It’s so funny.

One of my favorites is from S1 when he knew exact scientific data about hotel drywall. (It’s all dumb but there’s some A+ quips and I can’t help but love it.)

It’s such a good premise for a show. True cave man watching. Just big man smash.

Most fans found this premise good for the show. After all, even in the books, Jack Reacher is someone who is simply bigger, better, and smarter than every enemy he encounters in them. Truly, contributing in making the Chuck Norris meme a reality, at least in a show.

To be honest, upon seeing the performance of Alan Ritchson in Reacher, it will be impossible for fans to ever go back to visualizing another actor portraying the amazing character.

As far as the unrealisticness of the series is concerned, the audience shouldn’t forget that the show is based on a fictional character of a book, not on a true story.

With that being said, episode 6 of the second season was released on January 05, 2023. This means there are two more episodes left to be unveiled before the former U.S. Army military policeman goes on a hiatus and returns for another season in the future.

Considering the show currently boasts a phenomenal 8.1/10 rating on IMDb, it won’t be a surprise if the series continues to air for the foreseeable future.
