^^Pretty cool. I envy that perspective in ways.....
My Godzilla journey started in the late showa era, right around
Terror of Mechagodzilla. I don't know exactly which G movie was my very 1st... I was 2 then myself. Seems like most of the movies they played on T.V. at the time were also from the era, mostly starting with vs. Gigan.
The earlier Showa films were welcome, once discovered, and I've revered those G movies above all others (with the exception of KK vs G, these days, I'm sorry to say).
Just can't help wondering what it would have been like to have been weened from the original
Gojira on. Sounds fantastic really.
