Well the girlfriend still gets a wish.
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.
jk…
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.
I already have true love. I’ll wish for more wishes.
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…
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.
Nah, it’s magic, it can just make it so that the girl happened to be in the right place. Maybe it told the girl that she would find true love there and she decided to go.
She wished for true love too, Wich is why he is there at all.
But if that is true, then he had no free will. He was there because of her wish!
We’re getting into the nature of free will, whether or not it exists at all. One of the hardest questions we’ve never really been able to answer, and quite possibly never will.
What if the well is merely looking into the infinite possibilities and determining who the true love is based on what will happen anyway? What if she also made a wish at another well at the same time, also for true love? What if she didn’t exist at all, prior to his wish, and was created as his true love?
It’s compulsion all the way down…
