#so shed be a hypocite not to support and encourage

Rewatching Shin Godzilla right now, which always reminds of how cool and supportive my mom is.

Growing up, there were always Godzilla films in my home cause my older brother was into the series and both our parents supported and encouraged the love, buying him the movies and games. Pretty clearly, as a result, I myself ended up falling in love with the series, since I watched the movies a bunch growing up, and in turn became obsessed myself, perhaps even more so than my brother in our adult years.

I was in highschool when Shin Godzilla came out. I remember seeing the trailers online and being super excited for it's release in America, keeping an eye out for any releases in my local city of Dallas. When I finally found a small theater that would be streaming it a month or two after it's release in Japan, my mom agreed to go see it with me if I bought our tickets. I did and we went and had a great time. There was a person in a Godzilla costume in the main lobby, all the 'previews' were trailers for old Godzilla films, there were even Godzilla themed snacks on the theater menu. It was such a great night and all happened cause my mom loved that my brother and then myself loved a thing and encouraged our love by buying us things to encourage said love and even once past the point of paying still agreed to come. She is so great.
