The character’s reputation as a cool, countercultural, comic book character was destroyed in 1986 with the release of George Lucas’s Howard the Duck.
The movie, starring Lea Thompson alongside a puppet voiced by Chip Zien, was a massive flop. The expressionless puppet, mindless humor, and forgettable plot were all highlighted in its overwhelming negative reviews.
Despite the movie’s failure, Howard the Duck has slowly recovered as a character, remaining a fixture of the comic universe and slowly being reintroduced to non-comic readers through the MCU.
He’s made several cameo appearances in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Endgame. With Seth Green as the consistent voice of the character, he’s primed for a comeback.
