** His review of the ''JackReacher'' film discusses how it takes such a character and really makes him work, in a four step process: Reacher never does anything blatantly impossible, the other heroes aren't made to look like idiots to prop him up, the villains are such {{Complete Monster}}s that you can't wait to see an untouchable hero like Reacher take them out, and every single other aspect of the film is so top notch that you don't really care about the ridiculousness of its main character.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: He's so intrigued by the concept of a buffalo getting the morphing ability and becoming part of the Animorphs while gradually developing human-level intelligence, that he'd be willing to forgive all the blatant abuse of MagicAIsMagicA to get to that point. Unfortunately, the buffalo doesn't survive the book it's introduced in.
