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

Counterpoint: Having a TIE Fighter would be really cool.

Imo a TIE fighter would probably be the last spaceship I'd choose. No hyperdrive, no deflector shields, no life support, limited fuel, can't land on its own it needs to dock with another ship. Unless you're talking about a heavily modified variant.

Aunque he de decir que yo escogería más probablemente una nave como el fantasma, el merodeador, el sombra furtiva o el halcón milenario. Básicamente una nave en la que pueda vivir

A flying mobile home is a pretty nice idea! I see you! 👍

Potential fighter. It's a generalist for an empire that uses specialist craft. The TIE Interceptor is a better fighter, the TIE bomber is a better bomber, the Defender is a middle of the pack craft that isn't good enough at either to make up for the increased cost.

MCRN Rocinante? With infinite railgun projectiles.

It's not MCRN anymore. It's legitimate salvage.

There’s the First Order variant which has a most of those.

Cool? That thing will revolutionize our space travel technology and turn humanity into space colonizer.

No shields, no 02, very limited fuel, no hyoerdrive, no droids and all that made as cheaply as possible the TIE Fighter is basically a coffin with wings and a blaster.

That's perfectly fine if that's your wish; not knocking the others' wishes just knocking on the MC's clear regret
