    To be honest, I don't think every comic needs to be a movie.

    And 'goon' was used for decades before it got it's latest meaning.

    There was a proof of concept trailer (which looked great - with Clancy brown and Paul giamati doing voices) and a kickstarter to make a storyboard back in 2012. Then in 2022 supposedly Netflix picked it up, but it haven't heard anything since.
