at which point he gives up on the wish entirely and begs for everything to go back to normal.
finds the senior citizen Miss Peach to be less attractive than her younger self. and Miss Peach are of course still married, but are now 100 years old just as the doctor wanted. For the third and final wish, Doctor H.Just before that happens, he makes it back to the genie and mentions that he also wants to be 100 years old so that no diseases will be able to hurt his younger self. has an incurable disease and could pass away from it at any second. is married to Miss Peach and the heroes are well-behaved, but now Doctor H. The doctor consults the genie again and clarifies that he also wants the heroes to be good. and Miss Peach are happily married, but with the trade-off that the heroes are now bullies and/or criminals due to Doctor H. He ends up going through all three of his wishes trying to fix some problems inherent in the results, as side-effects of the wishes being made with no effort: finding a bottle genie and wishing that he were married to his crush, Miss Peach. Season 2 Episode 20 of Happy Heroes is about Doctor H.The Benevolent Genie, too, may make this happen if they think you "need" to learn the lesson from getting your wish, or if they lack the common sense or human perspective to see that the wish is disastrous, or if they're just constrained to grant the wish no matter how disastrous it is. A Jackass Genie is likely to cause this to happen, if they don't just twist your words entirely. Often overlaps with Full-Circle Revolution "So you want new leadership? Meet the New Boss, same as the old boss."Ĭompare Gone Horribly Right (when science or logic is involved rather than wishes), Wanting Is Better Than Having (when getting your wish ends with more disappointment than satisfaction), Tempting Fate (which does not specifically require a wish) and Original Position Fallacy (when someone wants something they know will be bad for some, but wrongfully assume they will benefit from it).Ĭontrast the Literal Genie, which ignores the intent of the wish in favor of the exact words this trope is about the complications that arise when you get exactly what you wanted, rather than exactly what you said. Super-Trope of It's a Wonderful Plot, I Wish It Were Real, I Wished You Were Dead, Please Dump Me, and Rhetorical Request Blunder. In some cases the experience may lead the wisher to discover an Awful Truth. Often a cause of Blessed with Suck, though not the only one wont to count as an Opinion-Changing Dream Contains the same type of irony as Ironic Hell. A crucial element of playing that angle well is making the "deal breaker" a meaningful, inherent flaw to the original wish rather than something tacked on or that could have easily turned out differently if the character had more common sense. Nine times of ten this is an outright Aesop, though strictly speaking it doesn't have to be. This is an elementary form of deconstruction the character wants X, and then they find out that X has unforeseen consequences or is less satisfying than expected. In many cases the character repents of their ill-considered wish and things revert to normal, though in some stories the character is stuck in the new situation and forced to deal with the consequences of their thoughtless wish.

Maybe the element of their life that they wanted gone is really essential to who they are maybe the wish isn't all they thought it was cracked up to be or maybe it just comes true in an unanticipated manner.
Perhaps the character finds out that what they wanted comes at the cost of something they wanted even more. The "deal breaker" that makes the wish not worth it also comes in a lot of possible flavors.
