I love this comic, seen it first I think a decade ago.
Of course it’s already funny on the surface, but it also makes you stop and think about what you would choose.
Is it really true love, if a wish compelled it?
Millennium Falcon. Just saying.
Actually, I think I’d rather a Ton Falk, complete with a collection of fighters/bombers to go with it.
Yep, that's the thing. The girl was walking around and got commandeered into loving this guy. So much for the illusion of free will.
I would also have asked for a starship: reverse engineer that and you've single handedly saved the human race from the climate disaster.
She wished for true love too, Wich is why he is there at all.
But if that is true, then he had no free will. He was there because of her wish!
We're getting into the nature of free will, whether or not it exists at all. One of the hardest questions we've never really been able to answer, and quite possibly never will.
What if the well is merely looking into the infinite possibilities and determining who the true love is based on what will happen anyway? What if she also made a wish at another well at the same time, also for true love? What if she didn't exist at all, prior to his wish, and was created as his true love?
It's compulsion all the way down..
But what if it simply found his true love on this world and teleported her to him?
And then she falls instantly without knowing anything about the dude? Very reasonable
Imma wish for a book describing how to build that spaceship in terms we can comprehend to spite your wish and beat you to the punch.
Or, you know, I could wish for a solution to climate change but you know, space techno dystopia sounds pretty metal
Okay skip that. I’m going to wish for an automated droid processing plant/factory with design files of every known class of ship- and the defiant, just to fuck with people.
I believe they’re called world devastators?
Yeah, space is over-rated. Imma wish for no more wishes, for anybody. Fuck that well
I’m sooo I’m in line ahead of you.
That spaceship will have a compact powerplant with enormous amounts of energy in a very small place. That solves the climate change crisis
Nah, it's magic, it can just make it so that the girl happened to be in the right place. Maybe it told the girl that she would find true love there and she decided to go.
