TRAVIS TICKLE

Ever wondered how Travis Bickle’s life might have turned out if he wasn’t an emotionally-scarred nutjob? No? Well, we have.

Instead of skulking around the city’s dark underbelly, exposing himself to all of society’s grisly shortcomings, Travis would instead whittle away the hours exploring picturesque national parks and devote his evenings to wildlife conservation. We imagine he’d swap out bourbon-soaked bread in favour of oat milk-drenched porridge, and the denizens of New York wouldn’t have to worry about him going on a murderous rampage – he’d take all of his aggression out by playing Time Crisis 2 at the local video game emporium.

What could have been. A crying shame.

Although some things would never change. He’d still be partial to a bit of military-scented outerwear.
