The three of us will RULE THE COSMOS!

Location: Alien headquarters
Has any hero ever accepted the villain’s call to join him and rule the galaxy or whatever? You know, besides Leela in that one episode of Futurama. It just doesn’t seem like the numbers are on the villains’ side.
Also, hey, swearing. Yeah, it’s just “Hell,” but it was probably a big deal for me at the time.

That’s interesting … the page is posted early, but without an image …
No, Walky, ask for Minnesota! We have lunes! And lutefisk!
But then he’d have to battle Jack O’Niell for it. I’m not sure if Walky can take Jack O’Niell.
I like the way HA’s hand is reaching out thru the 4th wall to make his offer to the twins.
Ohio?
20 years ago Ohio was worth something….
Psh! Lies! Aside from Toledo, Cedar Point and the Halls of Fame, Ohio is a wasteland of worthless lameness.
Illinois or Michigan are where the REAL value lies in the Midwest!
Hell, the moon doesn’t even have oxygen and Neil Armstrong still thought it was a more exciting place than his native land of Ohio.
I’ll bet Walky would make Ohio interesting real quick.
And I would promptly move away. Some of us like our boring-ass Midwest where everything is normal. Then again, if Head Alien were running the rest of the country, maybe I’d better stick to Walky’s Ohio.
Michigan? Clearly you haven’t been here lately.
I’d rather have Georgia.
Well, my brother once showed me a video from Disneyworld where the kid that they picked out of crowd for it did accept the join me thing and, as an improv thing due to no one really expecting that, the Jedi guy was all like “alright, the Sith Academy is over that way” and shooed him offsto.

Didn’t notice the extended version, it’s a little better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJVvRgbfFKg
I can actually think of a time. The Green Lantern episode of Duck Dodgers. He immediately excepted Sinestro’s offer, causing a “Wait, what?” reaction in the middle of his villainous rant.
Well Darth Vader accepted.
Anakin was a weaselly brat, not a hero.
Hey, it worked in Angel Moxie:

Other people know what that is?!!
You kidding? That comic got me through high school. Do you know about Dan Hess’s current comic, Weesh?
I’ve tried reading through it several times, but always got distracted.
Hey, I’d forgotten about that comic. Which is good, because I can’t remember if I finished it. Well, I now have a project for those long, insomnia induced nights.
At the end of the first Dragon Quest (or Dragon Warrior in the US) for the NES/Famicom, you’re given a yes/no prompt to agree to join the main villain. You can say yes, and after acknowledging it (I think he asks “are you sure” with another yes/no prompt), the game just sort of stops and the text turns red.
Of course, I’m pretty sure Dragon Quest II assumes you said “no”, canonically speaking, but the option was there!
Paper Mario 2 let you accept Shadow Queen’s offer to be her servant but “For the world it was GAME OVER”
Dragon’s Dogma lets you agree to sacrifice your true love to Grigori so he’ll leave you & your people alone for a long time & you get a bad ending where the arisen becomes a grumpy loner duke. You get a game over though.
What’s so great about Ohio?
You can say yes in Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door!
….I mean. It’s a game over. But you *can* say yes.
Also in Dragon Quest. And in Infinity Blade — in some ways, it’s a more satisfying ending, but the sequels only work for the other one.
Ohio? You could negotiate for nearly anything, and you choose Ohio??
Maybe he likes Skyline?
