True love is actually a great wish. Money runs out, the earth doesn't have the resources to power an x-wing, super dude can't do anything super or else society will now expect him to be Superman, which is a huge responsibility anyone reasonable would want. But TRUE LOVE, the fucking stuff from Disney movies? I'd take that in a heartbeat, then proceed to do a lewd photoshoot with my partner on the defunct x-wing.

As someone who once had true love... True love is the wish 100% of the time.

Super dude can use his super powers to steal the X-Wing and then fly off to another planet and find true love there. True love that can do some freaky alien sex.

You missed the part where we don't have the resources required to fuel the X-wing.

Am I the only one concerned there's a wishing fountain that anyone can use? Even Republicans.

I wish everyone else but me would be miserable!

Huh, it's what they're wishing for every day anyway nothing would change

If he has a a personality disorder that could be a cause of the inability to form or maintain relationships, wishing for true love might not last either.

I love this comic, seen it first I think a decade ago.

Of course it’s already funny on the surface, but it also makes you stop and think about what you would choose.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I already have true love. I'll wish for more wishes.

Is it really true love, if a wish compelled it?

Millennium Falcon. Just saying.

Actually, I think I’d rather a Ton Falk, complete with a collection of fighters/bombers to go with it.

Yep, that's the thing. The girl was walking around and got commandeered into loving this guy. So much for the illusion of free will.

I would also have asked for a starship: reverse engineer that and you've single handedly saved the human race from the climate disaster.

She wished for true love too, Wich is why he is there at all.

If you wish for anything other than the end of deadly conflicts between humans or something similar then you need to think about your priorities real hard...
