The Cold War does seem to be an important part of the mythos - without it, the events and setup seem to get harder and harder to believe, I find.

Nah, it's just a fun thought experiment. We are far, far, FAR more likely to get a modern remake of a Connery film with a new guy in the suit. One that pleases no one, but ticks all the boxes of "what the fans want".

Sure. Gumping comes from Forrest Gump and refers to how they managed to take new footage of Tom Hanks and put him pretty seemlessly (a surprise at the time) into old footage of John F Kennedy and John Lennon (etc). Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, on the other hand, is a play (and movie) that takes...

I agree - there's probably a handful of them at any given time, with no need to worry about double (quadruple?) digit numbers at any given point. I do think that it could be a compelling story, if done well, to do a James Bond story starring other double-oughts (as suggested earlier in the...

Probably cooler to call it "Double-Oh Zero", anyhow, if one were to use it.

Which looks strange, but only because they seem like decimal numbers, when that's not at all what they are. You're right, who knows how many there are? I think it's not supposed to be many. Also: Is there a Double-oh-OH?

Quinn, with starry constellations flying over his head, stepped bravely out from a pile of rocks and into the room. His stars flew about, healing himself and most of his allies. Then Bible lunged past him with Waythe, and she struck again and again into the big Chief's chest with her blade, who...

M?

Gimlak Before he had gone to bed, tucked securely in his bedroll, lined with furs, under the rocky overhang, Gimak had spent an hour (and much of his remaining mental energy - the hike had been rough work) sending his psychic senses across the gorge, to observe the giants at the crag. First...

Yeah. Fleming worked in Intelligence, but it seems unlikely that he ever shot at anyone (or was ever shot at).

That's what I call "for imMature Audiences". For example, I enjoyed Vox Machina (the cartoon) in spite of its lowbrow "maturity", not because of it. I'd have liked it more without most of that stuff.

But they aren't, though! They're telling you that they disagree with you, which you've said you're okay with, but you don't really seem like you are. You also don't seem like you find it "amusing". I mean, I'm inclined to take you at your word, but your posts really seem to be indicating...

I don't think that is what anyone is doing.

I see that you're not interested in dissenting views, but while I think that more new spy stuff with non-white-male leads would be absolutely great, I think that they would only be made weaker to be forced to conform to any Bond-isms. Would "Killing Eve" or "Atomic Blonde" have been better if...

So... I am happy to give more information before you arrive at the Crag, based on your scouting. I've got a pretty good picture in my head of what Kahru's attempting, though @Tonguez can feel free to ask for more as well. But I haven't got a great picture as to exactly how Gimlak has helped...
