(it turns out that because the previous owner of Reynolds’ body was a soldier, Reynolds retains incredible combat skills even if he doesn’t remember where he got them.)

Oh come on, if you’re not at least somewhat aware of the irony, it’s not remotely funny.

And I bet I could humor the inadequacy complexes urging you to act as an Internet Tough Guy for a folly of further comments, but I find we’ve had enough fun.
