infinite wishes
I've been married to my highschool sweetheart for over 30 years and I can tell you with confidence that he made the correct decision.
I’d wish to be happy for the rest of life. Something that seems increasingly unlikely given how the world’s looking.
It just makes you super dumb.
That's an acceptable price as long as you're not the kind of once-in-a-generation species-defining mind to begin with.
Or overdoses you with ecstasy
The correct answer is always Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant
The one with the ship wished to live a life of true love, with R2D2. His name, is Goldenrod.
NGL I think the dude made the right choice.
Also she hasn't wished for anything, so...
Grass always appears greener on the other side. He made the right choice, but will forever try to figure out if there was a wish that could have gotten him true love and a spaceship
You're forgetting the girl gets to also make a wish
"I wish my fate wasn't tied to this spaceshipless loser"
True love is being willing to give almost anything for the other person. It is also being unwilling to accept that, because you would also be willing to do the same.
Somewhere in the middle you find what is best for both of you.
He should have wished to be the protagonist in his very own sci-fi space show set on a "light freighter" style of ship.
Then you're guaranteed at least two romance options (four, if you swing more than one way), your own ship, and plot armor.
And being a tortured mind due to a dark secret revealed with flashbacks every other night.
Just make sure you’re not the pilot
I can only think of two where that's happened and the second was because the actor needed to be fired because he turned out to be an awful person.
Ooh, good wish ... only don't make it a show, make it a life, because people on shows are only acting and the spaceships aren't real
Of the well showed the future of their choices, true love is the only one that has lasting happiness. The spaceship will need maintenance or a spare part that doesn't exist. The money will be spent and put that person in the sight of predators. The superhero will be expected to use their powers for others and eventually lose their love or compassion for the job as it takes a toll on their mental and emotional help. It only takes one accident to show the flaw in all the choices but true love lasts. He can be on his deathbed and know he will not be alone. She can have the worst day of her life and know there is always someone there to help.
Or she'll die prematurely in an accident (maybe x-wing or superhero related) and he'll die alone after going through life knowing there's no one as perfect for him as she was.
You're assuming I'm using my superpowers for good. I mean that's not what I would do.
Right? Did that other asshole wish for an X-Wing, or an X-Wing and support crew, structures and materiel to keep it running?
Otherwise he’s gonna run out of fuel in a bit and be fucked, meanwhile other dude is just living his best life.
He did get an R2 unit with it at least. Really, worst case scenario I bet he could sell it for way more than that wheelbarrow of cash is worth.
I like the detail that the guy who became Superman is wearing red and blue.
Because superman is red and blue?
He means before the wish.
my headcanon is that the person in the pink was an egg who asked the well to be a girl
But the girl in pink is there from the fist panel, and we see pink man walk away with a wad of cash.
