Benevolent Genie: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

As it turns out, not all [[Genie in a Bottle|genies]] are by-the-book bureaucrats who are more interested in doing [[Literal Genie|exactly what you say]] than actually getting you what you want. Nor are they all [[Jackass Genie|complete jerks]] who seem determined to make whatever wish you utter cause suffering regardless of how well you word it. Some genies are just really cool. Maybe you helped them do something and [[Disproportionate Reward|they're giving away wishes as a legitimate reward rather than out of obligation.]] Maybe you're a [[Nice Guy|good person]] [[Hidden Heart of Gold|at heart]] and the genie just can't bear to screw you over at risk of helping the bad guys. Or maybe the genie is just so nice they can't even conceive of [[Make a Wish|granting a wish]] in a way that directly hurts good ol' master.
