I don't know why I was thinking about this comic, but I had the sudden realization the author is an idiot. You can work endlessly burning away your youth to get tons of cash if you want, wishing for it is literally a waste when work will always gain it for you. The only way a wish would work is if you wished for intelligence/high education to give you the knowhow to properly manage your time to make money (and, presumably, gain the skill to know how to be frugal and save 90% of your after-tax after-rent/mortgage income so you're only spending it on basic necessities instead of blowing it all on frivolities). True love would be the person who fits you perfectly and will never leave you. All that other shit is garbage- you and your love can work together and pool your resources to get rich if she's your true love, she'll never get fed up with hard work and leave you or anything. In the end the author seems to miss that money is fleeting but a person who truly fits you and wants to spend their life with you with no strings attached would be so infinitesimally small in number as to be invaluable. I cannot express enough how superior it would be to wish for your perfect match over wishing "for a lot of stuff".

Also I guess Perry Bible Fellowship thread, if you want

Maybe the point is that as soon as you get what you wish for, you'll just start wishing for other things you don't have

user, you don't need anyone else to make you happy, or to feel whole. Love yourself my man.

>You can work endlessly burning away your youth to get tons of cash if you want, wishing for it is literally a waste when work will always gain it for you.
Wouldn't it be more enjoyable if you didn't BURN AWAY YOUR YOUTH in obtaining it?

You can't be superman with true love, but you can find true love if you're superman
Checkmate

The joke is simply that successful relationships are a relatively mundane thing that many people can achieve but you will literally never, ever have an opportunity to have super powers or to fly a fictional spaceship from your favorite scifi franchise barring some reality bending magic. You might have a point with the guy with the wheelbarrow of cash, though.

Also it can be interpreted as a monkey’s paw “the grass is always greener” situation.

This.
Also the wisher is shallow as fuck and clearly values physical objects over long term relationships.

This is indisputably false. There is a reason not even prison will keep you alone for too long.

Superman was best wish. The dude could get so much money and women as a Superman, and also he can fly so he doesn't need a fictional vehicle.

>True love would be the person who fits you perfectly and will never leave you.
>if she's your true love, she'll never get fed up with hard work and leave you or anything
>a person who truly fits you and wants to spend their life with you with no strings attached
>your perfect match
This is all by your definition, not necessarily by everyone else’s. True love seems like a subjective concept and up for debate.

There's a difference between being single and happy and forcibly removed from all human contact.

Personally, I’d be reluctant to fuck someone with super strength, for fear of death by pelvis crushing.

>successful relationships are a relatively mundane thing that many people can achieve
Are they, though?

At the very least, I think most people who manage to stay in their relationships for the long term would say that they believe their relationship to be true love or successful, so it amounts to about the same thing as it being actually true.

I think part of the joke is that the guy is gonna spend the rest of his life wondering if the well really was the thing that made him find his true love, or if he had made his wish two minutes later, he coulda had true love AND a spaceship.

The guy gained something valuable and rare, but two of the others made the impossible happen, money guy just got some money.

>clearly values physical objects over long term relationships.
>He doesn't want to be Superman.

I can assure you that having an T-65B X-Wing Space Superiority Fighter would be far better than true love

OP, I think you might have abandonment issues if you attach so much importance to somebody never leaving you.

The gag is the first guy wished for something that's seen as being of real substance but is jealous of the shallow and childish wishes the other men had.

It's a simple reverse where the normal story would have the shallow men go first only to regret their wishes and the final man shows his wisdom.

That Korean comic about getting shot in the gut is a straight example of this kind of thing.

Depends on if you can refuel the thing.

Yeah, I'm going to wish for the infinitely and eternally self-repairing and refueling model.

Next problem: You're still mortal, and a lot of people will be wanting that technology.

Everyone dies

Like I'm letting anyone else see my swagmobile, I'm taking it out on weekends and seeing spess

not if it meant i never found true love
I think you've never known true love if she left you

>not if it meant i never found true love
You don't know that.

There's a well that grants wishes user

People would have better concerns then one guy's spaceship

you don't know if you'll ever find true love either.

At least I'll know I'm Superman.

pbf sucks, I throw it in with oatmeal as one of those late aughts webcomics that was everywhere but not actually funny.

wow i didn't know you could buy superpowers and a star wars ship with money

but...it takes less work to find someone worth spending your life with than it does saving up enough to become rich

OP is an obvious incel who thinks women are some unattainable thing

also i would definitely wish for money

This is pretty complicated. A ton of people are in pretty good marriages but are miserable even to the point of being suicidal or committing suicide. The issue often is financial troubles. In real life it's rare people would really be happy starving to death on the street with their love and the reality is hardships break up even happy and well-suited couples all the time, or it just becomes a loveless marriage eventually. Arguably, two people can even truly love each other but just grow apart and break up eventually, and this is more common than not. You could argue instead "True Love" can overcome anything, but I don't think that is true. It depends on how it's defined.

Even if it can, for many people, just being in a good marriage isn't enough to make them happy. They could still be considered a failure, awful problems with their kids, they get cancer, the list is endless.

Now none of the other wishes fix everything, either. But if the wheelbarrow of money is "endless" then I will argue endless wealth fixes way more problems than true love. Being Superman or having Warp technology, as people have pointed out, opens the door to things that are literally impossible and inconceivable in our Universe. Changing everything that way does seem a much better bet than getting a gf.

So what would you wish for anons

Honestly I'd worry about misused wishes so I'd wish in a set of rules the well would have to follow

i'd probably wish for omnipotence desu

I'd have to find the way to word it, but an endless Heaven for all sentient beings that have ever lived. Again, with an understanding of rules to not be Monkey's Pawed.

I dunno if I subscribe to this “true love” business, but I am in a pretty good relationship, but we don’t go around telling eachother “I’d never ever leave you, ever, no matter what. No strings.” Like we both pretty much understand that we would break up if one of us was a secret serial killer or something. We love eachother because we try to make one another into better people, not because we accept one another totally unconditionally and would be blindly okay with any or every possible fault and would stay together forever just because. That doesn’t seem like it’d be a healthy relationship for me, that seems like clinging. But you do you.
