What if Trevor had been the protagonist of GTA IV?

Imagine Liberty City through the eyes of a complete maniac. No cold, calculated Niko Bellic. No tragic war stories. Just Trevor Philips, the crazy chaos machine and unapologetic psycho running the show.
Yeah, it would've been
absolutely unhinged
. Here's what GTA IV might've looked like if Trevor was driving the story (and probably crashing into everything on the way).
Liberty City Would've Burned (Literally)
Niko was about revenge, loyalty, and lowkey trying to be a better person (even while gunning down half the city). Trevor? Not even close. His entire
vibe
is 'I'll do it because I can.' Missions would be less about strategy and more about maximum carnage.
Think less 'let's sneak in and grab the guy' and more 'let's blow up the entire building and see what's left.'
He's the kind of guy who'd cause a five-star police chase just to pick up fast food.

Every Relationship = Pure Chaos
Niko had complicated bonds—with Roman, Michelle, Packie… it was messy, but human. Trevor? He'd probably rob Roman's cab business by mission two. Any romantic subplot? Instantly toxic. Trevor's the guy who'd go on a date, then threaten the waiter for 'looking weird.'

There'd be zero trust, constant backstabbing, and a
lot
of yelling. Every cutscene? Explosive. Drama would be off the charts.
Mission Design? Straight-Up Madness
Trevor's missions in GTA V are infamous for a reason—cannibal cults, train heists, torturing people… he doesn't do normal. So with him leading GTA IV, missions would be dialed up to 100. One minute you're hijacking a chopper while high on something unidentifiable, the next you're chasing a guy through Times Square
on fire
.
Story coherence? Who needs it. Just vibes. Violent, chaotic vibes.
The Story Arc: No Redemption, Just Mayhem
GTA IV tried to be deep. It wanted you to feel things. It gave you moral choices. Trevor wouldn't care about any of that. You pick 'revenge' or 'deal'? Trevor does
both
—and kills everyone anyway. There's no growth with Trevor. No lesson. No emotional payoff. Just an endless, spiraling descent into beautifully entertaining anarchy.

Liberty City Wouldn't Survive
Let's not lie—Trevor would turn Liberty City into an actual warzone.
The cops? Outgunned.
The gangs? Out-crazied.
The civilians? Running for their lives.
The city already felt tense with Niko. With Trevor, it'd feel like
The Purge: Forever Edition
. Every corner would be chaos central.
Would It Work?
Honestly? Kinda. Trevor brings
energy
. He's the grenade in a quiet room. While it would kill all the seriousness and moral conflict of GTA IV, it'd replace it with something else: pure, wild fun. Liberty City wouldn't just be a battleground—it'd be a playground of destruction. And Trevor would be king of the chaos.

Exclusive: Ashi Singh on being able to buy a house in Mumbai; ‘I never wanted any designer brands, but this was an important target to achieve'
Actress Ashi Singh , currently seen as Kairi in Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil opposite Shabir Ahluwalia, has achieved a major personal milestone—buying her own house in Mumbai. In an exclusive conversation, Ashi opened up about what this accomplishment means to her and why it was always a top priority. Reflecting on her early days in the city, Ashi shared, 'When I shifted to Mumbai, I was still in school. We always lived on rent. And I don't know why, but people here trouble tenants a lot. It feels like they are giving us money to stay, not the other way around. Even if you pay Rs 50,000 or Rs 1 lakh in rent, you're not treated well. That's at least been our experience.' For Ashi, owning a home wasn't about luxury—it was about stability. 'I didn't want a designer bag or a good car or a sports car—nothing. I just wanted a house, which finally I got. It was an important target to achieve.' Interestingly, despite owning the home, Ashi hasn't moved in yet. 'No, no. In fact, I have not even shifted there because my shoot happens where I stay right now. My set is 10 minutes away. It doesn't make sense to live an hour away. I've always said, wherever my set is, that's where I'll live. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

Mumbai takes a leap of faith: Festival of San Joao makes a splash in city
Mumbai: The star of a Catholic saint has been on the rise in Mumbai, reaching its zenith every year on June 24, the day of his feast, San Joao. St John the Baptist (San Joao in Portuguese) was the cousin of Jesus, who baptised him in the River Jordan and initiated him into his ministry. Over the years, the feast in Mumbai has evolved from a neighbourhood community festival to a citywide carnival, with events hosted from Marine Lines to Manori, open to people within and outside the Catholic fold. Its widespread appeal is due in part to the unique customs and revelry that frame it, celebrating not just the saint, but nature, the rains, and, curiously, newlyweds alongside. New son-in-law day In East Indian and Goan tradition, a married couple visits the bride's home, where the son-in-law is feted and fed. In Uttan, fireworks welcome a couple into the village a day prior to the feast, which is also called 'Jaavaycha Sann' or New Son-in-Law Day. "When they arrive, the groom unearths the ceremonial coin buried under the 'arka' for good luck," says Mogan Rodrigues, co-founder of Sangath, a Bombay East Indian cultural platform. "On the day of the feast itself, the couple attends mass in the morning. In the evening, they are led by an East Indian brass band in a lively procession to the village well, where their feet are washed by women from the family or the community. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 29만원 이벤트 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo Singing and dancing, everyone returns to the bride's house for light refreshments, while later, a more elaborate dinner of pork Indyal, stuffed chicken and mutton stew is laid out for the son-in-law," he says. Gleason Barretto, a coordinator with the Mobai Gaothan Panchayat (MGP), believes East Indians wash the couple's feet as a sign of respect and acceptance for the new son-in-law, and says the sacrament of baptism, signifying ritual cleansing and a new beginning, may have been extrapolated to the matrimonial context. Goans don't practise this custom. Water works Water is central to San Joao celebrations, recalling St John's baptism. In Mumbai and Thane, wells, ponds and tanks stand in for the river, with community members leaping into wells. If a waterbody isn't available, tankers are summoned and sprinklers set up. There was a time, though, when the mechanics were more rudimentary. "We'd empty buckets of water from the terrace or hose each other with pipes," laughs Wency Pereira of Goan Outreach Association. "Goans who had no access to wells celebrated San Joao in building compounds. But as the numbers grew, we needed a larger venue." In places where wells vanished, pools both tiled and inflatable, became the new proxy. "We rented a BMC pool one year," recalls Fleur D'Souza, former history department head at St Xavier's College and a parishioner of St John the Baptist Church, Thane. "Festivities began a whole week prior with tournaments and games. It was the first big celebration after Easter." New currents In the past decade, San Joao celebrations have moved beyond homes and gaothans into gymkhanas, clubs and resorts, especially in Gorai and Manori. "It wasn't this popular a couple of years ago," notes Pereira. "We had close to 1,000 people at our event last year." The festival is now marketed as a semi-carnival with live bands, competitions, rain dances and pool plunges. Traditions are observed, but with a twist. At Felix Sequeira's San Joao party in Gorai, prayers led by a priest are followed by the ceremonial plunge—led by brides. While most events are promoted via WhatsApp and word of mouth, some, like Mumbai Meri Jaan Foundation, use ticketing platforms. "Last year, we had 1,700 people; this year we expect 2,500," says Nicholas D'Souza, manager at the foundation. Purists though believe such events dilute tradition. For organisations like MGP, the sanctity of the festival is rooted in community and custom. Its revivalist manifesto, San Jao Cha Sann!, encourages celebration at local water bodies and restoration of neglected wells. "Reviving cultural traditions around water bodies can help revive the waterbodies themselves," says Alphi D'Souza, MGP's global head. Rising to the task, the East Indian community in Vakola will organise its first San Joao at the gaothan well on June 24.
