Jackec Reacher can look like a pretty direct character, and in many ways he is. He's great, he's good at fighting and doesn't want bad guys to do bad things. But his genesis is a little more complicated than you think.

Lee Dets talked about the main inspirations behind Jackack Ricer Before that, telling colleague author Steven King during the discussion event that he created the character as a modern version of the archetypal mysterious foreigner who appeared throughout history, as the child explained, "Robin Hood's things" to "old Scandinavian myths" and "Anglo". According to the child, Reacher is a modern version of a religious figure; A savior of almost supernatural quality that appears when you need it most and has such an attractive commitment to act in a morally restrained way that exceeds human capacity for good. The child also talked about that he wanted to combine Goliath's physical activity with David's morality and listed his own feelings of vulnerability as a jump on the point of Reacher's own high physics.

This covers the basics of the character: a great brutal man with a heart of gold and the opportunity to send any trigger (though Pauli of Olivier Richerts, who somehow made Alan Richson look smallHe certainly gave him the escape for his money in season 3 of Reacher). But there is more about Jackec Ricer than these basic principles, with the child telling Newoux Times That his former military police officer also came out of the desire to withdraw from what he saw as a tired trophy. "The detective was an alcoholic," the author said, "which was great for the first time, a real problem, a real characterization. But then the next man is a divorced alcoholic. Then a divorced alcoholic whose teenage daughter hates him. Then a divorced alcoholic whose teenage daughter hates him, In response, the child tried to make a character who was "much more than an old -fashioned man", with the writer adding: "I wanted to get rid of the misery because, after all, no one wants miserable people."

The archetype against the hero called the child is certainly omnipresent in genres of action and crime. The tight, unprepared "I don't do that kind of more" an action hero dragging from self -imposed exile is used in everything, from the films "Rambo" to Daniel Craig's Daniel Bond. In fact, both in Skyfall and "No time to die", 007 is exactly the kind of washed down and the former Badass Lee Child described it before retiring. Even Netflix's "Extraction" films got involved in this trop, with Chris Hemsworth's Tyler Rick literally withdrawing from paid work in "extraction 2", and rounded out in a remote cabin where he spends his days haunted by his memories of his past.

In that sense, you cannot say that the child is wrong in his characterization of action stories and crime. This type of work is everywhere. But it is interesting to see how Jackack Reacher can easily fall into the same haunted hero archetype, as evidenced by Season 3 of Reacher, which recently broke the record for watching video video. In that season, what is Based on Jackec Reacher's best book, "Passal", Alan Richson's hero has been tormented by his memories of a former army, captured and killed by an enemy soldier. In the story, it often assumes the troubled anti-heroic characterization, which shows that the creation of the child is not completely inflexible when it comes to the entire anti-anti-heroic work. However, there is no doubt that he is otherwise relatively without care, who spends the days wandering through the United States and most awaits what follows next, rather than being imposed in his past. Given the inadequate success of both the books and the streaming series, the whole approach seems to have been doing pretty well.
