Rereading villain initialization and it all goes back to this. Past Ye Mizu did the "right" thing because that was what the rules told him to do. Current Ye Mizu does the right thing out of his own free will.

Also season 2 is so much angst like what is this

They sound like exes lol

Also Ling Chen's barely hidden suicidal tendacies never get resolved

Villain Initialization - Episode 6

Cute! Look how proud Ye Zimu is for making his crush laugh (while they're both being held as hostages)

What if for of one of the upcoming Monsterverse films (most likely not the confirmed 2027 next one), there will be a plot that will unexpectedly blow our minds away?!

Mothra had laid a mysterious, beautiful, radiant, and colorful egg. The egg is looks like a huge oval-sized precious gem with such lit, sparkling and rotating pastel rainbow colors (8 colors: red, pink, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue & purple) everywhere. The egg becomes very important that it is not only the Kaiju hero gang, but also Monarch must protect that egg from upcoming antagonists, both kaijus and humans, at all cost!

Monarch also suspects that there may be more to the symbolic relationship between Godzilla and Mothra, the King and Queen of the monsters than it seems...... Which could also lead to the result of why Mothra had laid this exotic egg....

Lots of good characters would return for this movie. Including surprising ones. Characters include Monarch members: Mark, Jackson, Rick, Sam, and the Chen Twins, Mark's now young adult Madison who'd be a new member of Monarch, a high school teenage Jia, and the Brodys from the first Monsterverse film Godzilla (2014): Ford, his wife Elle, his son Sam who'd be either in his late teens or early 20s, and even a young second child of Ford and Elle, like a daughter.

Then imagine at the end of the official trailer, there will be a scene of the egg HATCHING, and the next scenes are of the reactions of the kaijus and humans as they watch the egg HATCH! Then the title of this future Monsterverse film pops up on screen!

And this will be the name of the new-hatched hybrid kaiju:

Sayura

Name in the Japanese kanji:

桜由輝

桜: Cherry Blossoms

由: Reason, Cause, Origin

輝: Radiance

What stuck with me from reading Villain initialization is how well it shows this bitter feeling of seeing your parents change.

As a middle child I've been both at the end of "our father is way too latiennt with you, he used to be so much strict" And also seeing said father change and grow and treat my younger sibling better than he treated me. And I've seen it in others. This regret and anger and "why not me? Why you want to become a father now and not 10 years ago?"

And I can see it when older Ye Mu is in our timeline. How he tries to push his younger version to abide by their father standards. And how bittersweet it is to see someone younger finally getting that validation you've been denied your whole life. "Why not me?" And being tasked with carrying a loving message from their father to a younger version of himself? He finally heard what he wished to hear. But also he didn't because it wasn't for him.

And there's more, there's this "my father needed to hear from someone outside of our family that he was harming me to finally notice. Even after I begged and pleaded it wasn't enough for him to care.." which the older Ye Mu doesn't know. No, this one is a thing that the younger version of him will carry. Just like older siblings can just brush away the pain of those who get the 'better version' of their parents.

Or how when their father is absent the older Ye Mu tries to install the same rules he had been tough. Without any thought about their sense if reason he followed them. This sunk cost fallacy that haunts the whole story is also right here "I've suffered so much because of those rules so they have to make sense. And you also have to suffer for them to make sense."

The older Ye Mu blames his younger self for wanting Ling Chen to stay, for not being a "real hero". But it feels so much like a child screaming "why not me?" Not seeing how much the other has sacrificed to get where they are. Just like my siblings don't or how I won't know how much my younger sister does

And all we can do is let them enjoy this slightly less shitty version of our parents. Because it's not their fault and they have suffered their own wounds. Maybe after seeing their mothers message Ye Mu will try to see his younger self as a brother that can use help and guidance. Instead of just someone who got love instead of him

Qiao Yi: *about Small Ye Zimu and Ling Chen* They make a cute couple, huh?

Big Ye Zimu: HELL NO!!

Qiao Yi: Why not? They look like they came from a drama Series.

Big Ye Zimu: If my Ling Chen didn't like me then my younger version doesn't deserve his love. Give it to me. I'm the one who suffered not him.

Episode 9

My girls *_* At this point Qiao Yi is mostly focused on trying to woo Ling Chen, but for now it is enough for me to see her get cute moments with the girl she has no idea one day will be her future wife
