@Daredevil explains 'the difference between #Goons & #Henchmen' to #SHEHULK @SheHulkOFFICIAL | @Dartmouth @CNET
I discuss the episode in a paying discussion you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Goons” is either a made-up word (in "The Goon & His Style" (Harper's Monthly Magazine, December 1921) that means "a Person with a Heavy Touch, who Lacks a Playful Mind," or is built on ancient words that mean "Simpleton" (|Gony ... American- & British POWs (in World War II) called their German guards Goons).

The word “Henchmen” is built on Man + ancient words that mean "Horse, |Stallion, |Gelding" (lit. "Best at |Springing," also the source of ancient words that mean "to |Gush Forth, Jump, Dance, |Mare (that which Belongs to a |Stallion)").
#Henchman
I couldn't find a vlog of the scene, but CNET cites it---'henchmen believe in their boss's evil cause, goons are just in it for the paycheck.'
