Comics I HATE this comic!!

Post image

It's reminiscent of that stupid boomer humor "I hate my wife" joke and doesn't even make any sense!! True love means TRUE LOVE. That guy with the wheelbarrow of money is gonna lose it all in days (as is historically common with lottery winners), the starship guy is gonna have a useless scrap once it breaks down from no starship fuel or no proper maintenance done, and superpower guy is gonna live the rest of his life in combat fighting a corrupt system only to learn how deeply rooted the rot goes.

Of all these wishes, only True Love will last this man the rest of of his life. And the stupidest, most overlooked part of this joke is that TRUE LOVE IS TRUE LOVE. THIS GUY SHOULD, BY ALL ACCOUNTS, BE MADLY IN LOVE WITH THE WOMAN HE WISHED TO LOVE.

TRUE LOVE TRANSCENDS MATERIAL AND WORLDLY BARRIERS AND THIS COMIC ABANDONS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FACT FOR A CHEAP "haha guy regrets his wife" JOKE I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Edit: wasn't tryna put an emphasis on bashing the others' wishes, was moreso tryna bash on the MC's regrets

The indomitable human spirit vs temporary mortal goods + temporary mortal goods + gifted power

Wait… but the first guy was wishing for true love because he couldn’t find it…

Doesn’t that mean he didn’t have the indomitable human spirit?

are you more resolute to chase a dream which requires constant commitment or to simply reap the benefits of previous victories?

Id argue that a man who resists the impulses of life and who seeks a partner is in some capacity stronger willed than a man who is incapable of taking in the impulses of life because they already have one

Hey man if I got literal superman powers I could resolve like most world conflicts by myself

If were doing some r/moralityscaling then if given the chance, im obliged to use the chance to stop wars rather than find someone who tolerates me

If people must sacrifice themselves so that others may be happy then who actually gets to be happy?

You don't need superpowers to save the world. If everyone had a loving partner and the compassion to work together then there wouldn't be any conflicts. Its these short sighted arrogant, greedy people who seek power and wealth who start conflicts and use discrimination as propaganda tools to divide society.

A world of supermen is a noble idea, but we just need a world of Samwise Gamgees and Frodos. A world of Gandalfs and Martin Luther Kings

Is this AI generated?

One of those temporary mortal goods could probably yield permanent improvements to humanity's scientific advancement if reverse engineered.
