Talk:The Goon

message: Does The Goon really take place in an alternate 30's?  Is there exacting evidence?  Even the automobiles don't fit this.
I'm gonna try chaning it to an "Unspecified time during the classic noir era (1940-1958)."

Movies made in "classic noir era" do not necessarily take place during that time. Audioweevil 02:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed unsubstantiated claims that the references to Chinatown in The Goon are in fact references to Roman Polanski's film.  There is simply no evidence to support this, especially considering a graphic novel is currently in production entitled 'Chinatown' that explains the events referenced.

message: "On more than one occasion Powell has metafictionally hinted that The Goon is indeed only a comic and that its reality exists as a comic reality instead of the comic implying (like Spider-Man or Superman) that it is taking place in the "real" world."
To whomever wrote this.  This statement needs at least one reference as well as some cleaning up as it makes little sense.  Removed until fixed. Audioweevil 03:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comic Reality 

message: I removed the following section from the lead of the article:
:Though the story is set in the US, it is not set in a named locale and rarely references any real-world people or events. It also takes place in an undefined period of time, with discrepancies including cars from the earlier half of the 20th century but more contemporary references such as Frank from Blue Velvet.
I did this for two reasons. Firstly, because as the lead is supposed to give a brief overview, it's not the right place to dissect something in detail. Secondly, in any case, discussion of when and where it is set is unverifiable speculation and original research, so shouldn't be there at all. Likewise, the same applies to any claim of there being Blue Velvet references - without a reference for this, it has no place in the article. H. Carver 12:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Setting 

message: Is 'Goon Noir' considered an official part of Goon continuity? I know, but considering the Goon it's a possibillity it ain't.
And I feel that the article could be improved by stressing Goon and Franky's brutallity. They are -not- nice people. Smashing an innocent grocer's leg for missing a protection payment is common for them.Lots42 21:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Erm...
I'm not saying you shouldn't include any mention of this PR stunt in the article, but it seems inappropriate to refer to it as a "controversy", particularly right in the section heading. I mean, it was a 'controversy' created by an imagined person, right?
Frankly, I think that Controversy is the part that most deserves to be in quotation marks. 139.57.100.104 (talk) 02:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Controversy"? 

message: The "main character" section links to Characters of the Goon, but that article is only about the minor and recurring characters, and not the big two. I don't know enough about the series to write the entry myself, so I'm pointing it out instead. ShaleZero (talk) 06:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  No character entries for The Goon or Franky 

message: This is embarrassing. It looks like it was written by a 8 year old. What exactly is a "Frist app."? and naming "I talked to someone" as a source in the article is so far below any sort of standard that is accepted on Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.31.10 (talk) 01:56, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article is now front-loaded with some huge charts.
The bibliographic information of collected editions should be at the end of the article.
The huge table of all the individual issues should be deleted. Though I appreciate the work behind it, it is bloated and distracting, and detracts from the entry as an encyclopedic entry. I haven't seen any table like this on any other comics pages.
I would aim to remove the issues table and move the bibliographic information back to where it belongs, but as this would be a major change to the article I am raising it here first in case anyone disagrees with me and believes I should leave the article as it is.

thread_title: Article ordering and content problems

message: I am trying to change the humor/comedy and horror genres to a fusion of literary concepts so it reads Comedy horror. But for some reason, it doesn't want to pop right. Even when I try changing it to first and putting crime second, all it reads is a blank. Can someone help me out with this?--Bloodshot64 (talk) 16:26, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
