        Well that and stories depend on conflict, if you create a perfect society, you lose out on conflict. Sometimes you just have to stop dreaming if you want the story to be any good.

        The only story I know of where people solve EVERY problem is Scribblenauts, and that’s because it’s hard to get more overpowered than Maxwell’s Notebook.

        Heck they even did a DC Crossover where you can pretty much make Maxwell invincible by adding the adjective “Kryptonian” to yourself and Kryptonite isn’t even a problem when you can just add an adjective claiming it’s fake or just a toy.

        After all, how long has it been since any version of Robin Hood was on the screen?

      Isn’t the genie in the original story a trickster?

      The genie will probably make everyone poor when Aladdin wishes for more equality.
