NGL I think the dude made the right choice.

Grass always appears greener on the other side. He made the right choice, but will forever try to figure out if there was a wish that could have gotten him true love and a spaceship

You're forgetting the girl gets to also make a wish

"I wish my fate wasn't tied to this spaceshipless loser"

He should have wished to be the protagonist in his very own sci-fi space show set on a "light freighter" style of ship.

Then you're guaranteed at least two romance options (four, if you swing more than one way), your own ship, and plot armor.

Just make sure you’re not the pilot

Ooh, good wish ... only don't make it a show, make it a life, because people on shows are only acting and the spaceships aren't real

Of the well showed the future of their choices, true love is the only one that has lasting happiness. The spaceship will need maintenance or a spare part that doesn't exist. The money will be spent and put that person in the sight of predators. The superhero will be expected to use their powers for others and eventually lose their love or compassion for the job as it takes a toll on their mental and emotional help. It only takes one accident to show the flaw in all the choices but true love lasts. He can be on his deathbed and know he will not be alone. She can have the worst day of her life and know there is always someone there to help.

You're assuming I'm using my superpowers for good. I mean that's not what I would do.

Right? Did that other asshole wish for an X-Wing, or an X-Wing and support crew, structures and materiel to keep it running?

Otherwise he’s gonna run out of fuel in a bit and be fucked, meanwhile other dude is just living his best life.

I like the detail that the guy who became Superman is wearing red and blue.

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

my headcanon is that the person in the pink was an egg who asked the well to be a girl

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 2 hours ago

But the girl in pink is there from the fist panel, and we see pink man walk away with a wad of cash.
