(james bond being beaten up by a goon)
GOON: bond you will maintain continuity
BOND: Never
GOON: the year is 2020 and you're roughly forty five, you were born around 1975
BOND: *spits out blood* i was a sea captain in world war two and i've been to space
GOON: you son of a bitch
BLOEFELD: none of this makes any sense! we're retconning you. you were born in the seventies
BOND: *shoots him with a harpoon gun* i think he got the point. that's a repetition of a thing i said in 1962, during one of my earlier missions
James Bond is not a codename. he already has a codename. It’s 007. James Bond is a metatextual creation who shrugs off all attempts at continuity and that’s why he is unique
