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

You’d need a lot more wishes

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 10 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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world -3 points 10 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.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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..

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

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.
