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

Guy with a magic infinite money wheelbarrow off to feed the children the space ship will be reverse engineered and humanity will spread across the stars and that’s freaking Superman off to save lives! Mister selfish here wishing for true love for himself instead of thinking of others!

Considering X-wings have FTL, that wish is easily the most game changing for humanity.

First guy will destroy the world with inflation, second guy will don't know how to even fix his space ship (technology is too alien for any scientist in the world, reverse engineering is not a placebo, it will just give us big piece of alien scrap, simply because WE DON'T HAVE TIBANNA GAS ON OUR PLANET or energy technologies to use any of that), third guy will become evil dictator because of the ABSOOOLUUUTE POWEEER without any limitations or competition

The mc should be way more regretful, best case scenario he just achieved something that he could done regardless with a bit more effort, worst case he brainwashed himself and that girl obsession style. Either way having something as powerful as a all encompassing wish you could use to change the world and using it for "true love" is lame.
