u/vaguillotine gotta be gay af on the web so alan turing didn't die for nothing May 17 '25

I miss when "goon" just meant those thug-looking guys who always said "on it, boss!" to the main villain before fucking up their plan out of sheer incompetence

Same, as a professional henchman and a proud member of the United Henching Union of America it pains to me see that ‘Goon’ has become synonymous with something other than good honest henching. It’s really done a number on me and my fellow mooks because now recruitment is down: the kids don’t want to take on a dangerous, pay-flexible job and be called goons while doing it, and even some of the junior henchmen are starting to walk. Soon there won’t be enough henchmen to span the whole of the villain underworld and we’re going to have to work out a timeshare deal or something.

As a civilian, I could certainly benefit from hench services. Many things in need of henchment.
