DC's Earth-66 - Timeline

So I would agree to only the Dark Horse Comics, as I don't know if the Dynamite Comics can be canon, I never read a single issue of them.


Tho it still misses the Rogue Agent (GoldenEye) game, and one of the Fates Novels.

Doesn't Goldeneye: Rogue Agent revive serveral dead characters, notably Goldfinger and Dr. No? 007: Racing too. I mean, I'll include them if you guys want I guess, but y'know. Not perfect continuity between them and the films.

if they have a reason for being alive, why not? If not could it be set before Dr. No?

Judi Dench's M is in it, and she started in 1996. Also, the first mission is a training simulation version of the events of Goldfinger (1964) where Bond gets crushed to death, lol. It's definitely in the present day setting around Pierce Brosnan's films, but Blofield, No, Goldfinger, and a few others just happen to be alive again. Heck, the main character lost his eye in an encounter with Dr. No three years prior, so at least Dr. No would have had to have been resurrected by that point if we're going to fit this in.

007: Racing features John Cleese as R whom Bond first meets in The World Is Not Enough. I don't think it fits the timeline.

James Bond 007: The Duel also features the likes of Oddjob etc.

Oddjob

Oddjob can refer to: Oddjob (Literary), an antagonist of Ian Fleming's Goldfinger (1959). Oddjob (Dynamite), a reimagining of the character for Dynamite Entertainment's comics. "New Oddjob", the nickname of South Korean agent John Lee in Dynamite's comic books. Oddjob (Harold Sakata), an...

Apparently that's a clone. Huh, maybe they're all clones in Rogue Agent? :p
 
Watching On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and because there's archive audio when he goes through his desk and picks up the items from the Sean Connery films, it just convinces me that he's one guy more. He's not just going through another guy's desk, he remembers each film. There's implied history with Monnypenny too. It kinda feels like "that other fella" line was, yes, a reference to Connery out-of-universe of course, but in-universe, reads like a Cinderella joke. There's a very easy justification for it because of that.

tbf he winks at the camera and smiles when he said that line. More 4th wall jokes than this, are only the ones the mask or deadpool could pull off.
 
Oh, it's absolutely a joke for the audience too. He does the same thing in The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E., which is interesting because whenever Bond has that face he is able to break the fourth wall.
