Piercing Ken Thoughts: Right off the bat I am going to be rallying for the superhero stuff like “Incredibles 2”, “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” and “Teen Titans Go! To The Movies” since they help the comic book culture that I support so earnestly over on PiercingMetal’s Comics narratives. Only “Spider-Man” has yet to come out but the other two did rather well at the box office according to what I have read. I’m also going to send the energy out to “Dr. Suess’ The Grinch”, “Smallfoot” and “Ralph Breaks The Internet” since I loved the trailers that were showcased for them. Readers who’d like to peruse any content that has been posted here on “The Chronicles” about those films that I have cited can click their respective names to launch a tag query on a new browser tab.
