Pop Culture Showdown Steel Cup: Travis Bickle vs. John Matrix

[Gaffit]

You know how this goes. Vote for who you think would win in an all-out battle to the death.

Note that as this is a Who-Would-Win based tournament, it would be appreciated if you read and take part in the debate on tactics and fighting ability before voting; you can change your vote any time you want before the polls close. After the polls are closed, unfortunately these battles are for the most part going to go unwritten. But if two of your favorites pop up and you’d like to write them duking it out, feel free to contact me and I will accept pretty much anything.

Now then, on to battle!

Travis Bickle



Travis Bickle: Taxi Driver
Fighting Style: None known
Weapons: Specializes in guns, favoring pistols.

John Matrix, though I never saw Taxi Driver, but I doubt Travis is in the same league as a man who racks up a body count that's higher than the movie's run-time.

While I like Travis way more, and he does have some clever little tricks, I can't seem him beating John. Maybe if he surprises him and uses a hidden gun if he's tricky, but still...

Although it could be a who shots first kind of thing... and Travis could pose as a non threatening guy or something then shoot him...

[ganonfloyd]

Never seen Taxi Driver, but man.. John Matrix.. what a badass.

FFFFFFFFFFF

Its awesome.

[ganonfloyd]

Tell your dad he's the man.

[ganonfloyd]

I must meet you and your family.

Also I said the same thing about you and my dad when I saw you posted the lyrics to Five Years.

[ganonfloyd]

I dream about meeting you Unreal... my nights are filled with visions that I wish were reality.

[Spring-Loaded]

Too touching for words.

Believe me, most of the time when I close my eyes, these 'fantasies' if you will, are all that I'm able to see. My shrink says this sort of thing is not healthy, but I think it's a beautiful blessing indeed.

Shrink's be damned, they can't even begin to understand it.

Also, I could probably write a fight for this if you want Gaffit.

If you're up for it. I found a decent Youtube video earlier of Travis in action.
