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.

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’d need a lot more wishes

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nah. You have superman powers. You're a god on most planets.

Doesn’t sound humble enough for true love to exist in the same plane of existence. I mean if having a god complex worked then no doctor, cop or lawyer could possibly single, have a perfect relationship and absolutely satisfied with their life.

Eh. I can live with it if I'm Interplanetary Superman.

[–] Smoogs -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You started this argument with how you can have true love and now you don’t so you can embrace your god complex . The amount of goalpost movement in this discussion alone says you’re probably incapable anyways so it’s probably wise to avoid such a relationship until you are willing to work on yourself.

Dude. It's a comic. About a wishing well. And I've been happily married for 23 years.

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

Something Elon and Besoz will never have (because they are sociopaths) (and wankers)

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

Reminds me of a scene in My Adventures With Superman where Clark literally cannot go to sleep because he can't stop hearing people needing help (thanks to his super-hearing). He stays awake the whole night helping people.

Is true love necessarily until death?

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.
