Anachronism

A thing belonging to a period other than that in which it exists (especially something that is conspicuously old-fashioned)

Sometimes I like to sit around and think of how modern racism is gamers boycotting the historical accuracy of a Black samurai who really existed in a game series about a fictional lineage of alien-empowered people fighting a secret war against the illuminati with anachronistic super tech.

The funniest complaint I ever heard about the LOTR movies was that, "meat's back on the menu" is anachronistic because ancient orcs didn't say "menu."

I've thought a lot about What Amazon Will Do With Bond because it's a really interesting question. There's the anachronism of the character, the absence of the Broccolis, and also the presence now of Amazon all being major factors that are really interesting to ponder.
