That is a valid take. I also agree with this person who I assume, has touched grass.
I know that is a B.S question But I wanna know how close one can get own their own.

This some Mall Ninja Shit.
Not even, anyone worth their mall already knows the only step you need to take to achieve this goal is to buy The Katana.
And study it of course
The act of purchase is equivalent to living 100 years as Roronoa Zoro.

John Wick and James Bond and superheroes and supervillains are not realistically possible. Otherwise we would have them.
Both John Wick and James Bond are secret people with cover stories. We don’t know whether there are people like that or not, because by their nature they are hidden from public view.

Well they say its ten thousand hours of practice to master a skill right.
Assuming you already work 8 and sleep 8 travel and maintenance stuff for 2 that leaves you 6 houra a day to dedicate to one aspect of spy craft.
That would take roughly 4 and a half years.
So then you're an expert in firearms
Now you need to learn hand to hand combat so again 10000 hours but you need to maintain currency with firearms so you only have 5 hours a day to practice now it's nearly 5 and a half years to become an expert.
So we're at 10 years to learn gun control and hand to hand combat.
Havent even touched on spatial awareness stuff along with driving flying jet ski riding and seduction.
Okay, so if you start in your early 20s, you might make it by the time you are in your 50s. We can also use some hours over the weekend. This sounds like a totally doable thing
It’s also way more doable if you quit your current job and find another career that will not only encourage training in these areas, but financially compensate you for it, too.

Now that would be an interesting movie. You have a guy who really loved action hero movies as a kid and spent his life honing those skills. Not because he really wants to kill anyone, but just because it's fun. He spends his professional career as a mundane office worker until one day a group of terrorists take over his office building and plan on killing everyone inside. He has to fight his way through multiple floors of trained killers to get to the top so he can take down the chief bad guy, The Raid/Judge Dredd style. Realistically, he would definitely die within like 2 minutes from getting shot in the back of the head, but it's still a fun setup for an "unlikely hero" action movie.
He's a sysadmin and he doesn't do downtime
This used to be one my daydreams as a teenager. Except in real life, I couldn't consistently train like I wanted.
After reading Atomic Habits by James clear last year - I realized how much I could have improved during those years had I kept at it.
But just like you said everything can be ended anytime with a single gun shot or some quick stabs from the back.
No, because those characters are fantastical. You can stay in great shape if that's your priority and engage in martial arts and other fighty things, but they take a lot of time and dedication.
No, no real human can become as capable as James Bond or John Wick even if they dedicate 24/7 to it.
Are we in an action movie? In real life both of those gentlemen would die immediately. It's extremely difficult to beat 2 people in a fair fight even for the best fighters, let alone more like in John Wick. James Bond is pretty much a meme for villains that make it really easy for him to escape.
In an action movie... Well, thinking like a writer I guess it would be a bit like the adult version of Home Alone.
In real life, I guess what's the test? If it's bodycount (and morality aside), see every mass shooting. If it's taking down a major organisation from within, see whistleblowers like Edward Snowden. If it's looking really cool see a fitness influencer or something.
The closest equivalent I would think of are existing special forces of different militaries.
You first need the physical and mental ability to even be considered. From that, the military will then invest a lot in weapons, combat, and other training.
The closest outside of government training is maybe MMA, but that is only close combat. Even then, people dedicate their entire non-work time for years to get to that level.
I remember a video on youtube from a long time ago about an MMA fighter who got into a fight at a bar in, I think, Brazil. There were multiple guys with knives. Know what he did? He fucking booked it and still almost died. The reality is that the reason John Wick and James Bond win fights against multiple armed opponents is because the script demands it. In real life you would die almost instantly against greater numbers or armed opponents, regardless of how well trained you are or if you're special forces or a secret agent. Because you don't have plot armor.
I completely agree. Hell, this is why Bruce Lee carried a gun with him.
I was just looking at the closet real life equivalents. In reality, a person put in that position would likely be dead.

Their biggest strength, aside from fantasy physical strength, is years and years of experience in the field. You could train every aspect of it individually, in the end it’s all theory. It’s like every other job, only their jobs don’t exist, to the extend that they do it.
I’d say the closest that you could come to it is if you would join the French foreign legion or something.
Another factor that’s missing in the real world are the gadgets and impossible armors. Without that they wouldn’t survive this long.
Their biggest strength is the plot shield
Not only that, but Bond has an entire agency and thousands of people supporting him and his activities. There really are things you can't do yourself while in a heated situation that have to be done.
Not to mention technology that couldn’t possibly work in the real world. The Mythbusters have tested a few of his gadgets…
I remember something a friend said to me once. We were watching an action movie and during a well choreographed sequence I said something about wanting to be able to fight like that. My friend said, “sorry, you’ve only got one life”.
Nothing is impossible, but after a certain point in life, you’re simply unable to achieve that which would take a lifetime to master.
When you say "taskmaster," I assume you don't mean Greg Davies, right?
I meant the one from Marvel comics. White costume, and can copy any move that he sees.
If you want to develop spatial and situational awareness, all you need to do is grow up as a victim of parental abuse. You’ll know everything happening in a 50 yard radius for the rest of your life.
Being homeless helps a bit too, especially if you experience some violence while homeless. As many homeless victims of random violence have discovered, the police will not help you at all.

I have a similar experience, although it may not be comparable to yours.
I grew up in a very strict household. My parents constantly checked up on me while I was a teenager and that too in a super sneaky way. At first I used to get jumpscared then I gradually became more aware of my surroundings (even through earphones on with music on low volume)
So I can confirm that this works. Its like using subconcious fear to boost sensory input I guess.
You can train as much as you like, and have all the resources in the world,, but until they invent real world plot armor, you would get wrecked by a stray bullet almost instantly. There are no realistically possible super heros.
Weird link, it goes to a Google Summer of Code post for me.
Consider Bruce Lee. Dedicated his time to mastering multiple martial arts. Died of edema at 32 years old. No opponents. It's possible he drank too much water.
This is for a friend, right?
If John wick was a real human being with a regular human body he would be dead so quickly
He also had that bullet resistant suit on him which helped a ton. There's a video by the Hacksmith to recreate the suit but obviously real world results were nowhere near John Wick's suit.
It would probably help if their full time job was already secret agent.
I always find the bit that takes me out of those characters is that they seem to speak, like, every language. I know polyglots exist, but the time it would take on top of the time all their other skills would take? Not only to learn, but to maintain fluency? There's literally not enough hours in the day.
No, there are very specialized aspects of their professions that people in other professions don't get.
