The Last of Us season 2 episode 5 draws criticism
The Last of Us season 2 fans have not held back when expressing their dissatisfaction, especially when episode 5 was released. One viewer called the production "a minefield of mistakes," citing odd casting selections and "nonsensical little changes" in expression and story that, in their opinion, detract from the game's world.
One wrote, 'The Last of Us - Season 2, is a minefield of mistakes. Weird casting choices aside, it's the often nonsensical little changes to the overall narrative and dialogue that consistently ruin the whole atmosphere. Love it or hate it, but the game is infinitely better.'
A second added, 'Not vibing with Season 2 of the Last Of Us. It lacks the visceral weight of how the game was written.'
A third went on to add, 'How can a season be so inconsistent in quality like The Last of Us Season 2?'
How can a season be so inconsistent in quality like The Last of Us Season 2?Last weekend's episode made me question my will to continue watching the season, but yesterday's episode was actually – apart from a few minor issues – on par with Season 1, especially Nora–Ellie
The Last of Us season 2 is very very very shit. Ngl. What a terrible 2nd season to a fantastic first season. Something just feels off and I'll tell u what it's not bc Joel died.
Not vibing with Season 2 of the Last Of Us. It lacks the visceral weight of how the game was written.I don't think it's bad, it just feels safe? Like even tho it's following the story of the game, it feels like it's filtered.The game forces you to confront the most…

'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' box office collection Day 7: Pedro Pascal starrer dips under Rs 50 Lakh on Thursday; earns Rs 26.35 crore at end of week 1 in India
'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' the final Marvel film release of the year, concluded its first week at the Indian box office. However, the film crossed the week 1 finish line, on a low, earning an estimated Rs 46 lakh on Thursday. This marked the film's lowest daily collection since its release. Starring Pedro Pascal , Vanessa Kirby , Joseph Quinn , and Ebon Moss-Bachrach , the Matt Shakman directorial had opened decently with Rs 5.5 crore on Day 1 and managed to sustain momentum over the weekend. According to Sacnilk, the film has since seen a rather unsteady run at the ticket wndows. After a decent weekend haul of Rs 20.1 crore, Monday brought a significant dip to Rs 1.66 crore. The film saw marginal growth on Tuesday with a collection of Rs 1.9 crore, however, Wednesday's earnings suggest a tapering trend. With this, the total India net collection stands at approximately Rs 26.35 crore. According to trade reports, the film's Thursday dip reflects the mounting competition at the Indian box office. The film's box office run has been impacted heavily by the dominance of domestic hits such as 'Saiyaara', which has surpassed Rs 270 crore in just two weeks, and 'Mahavatar Narsimha', the animated mythological film that has crossed the Rs 45 crore mark in its first week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bikaner: 1 Trick to Reduce Belly Fat?

'Fantastic Four' has performed better in English-language shows, contributing a large share to its domestic earnings, but the Hindi-dubbed version has struggled to maintain occupancy. The English shows have earned a total of Rs 18.65 crore, while the Hindi shows have contributed an estimated Rs 6 crore. The remaining collections came in from the Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions of the film. With a competitive line-up ahead, the film may face a challenging second weekend unless it sees a significant boost in multiplex footfall. For now, its prospects of crossing the Rs 30 crore mark in India remain uncertain.

Dr. Stone season 4 episode 16 recap: What did Joel discover inside the Medusa? Here's what happened
Dr. Stone is heating up in its final arc, and episode 16 of season 4 delivers a solid mix of science, strategy, and suspense. As the Kingdom of Science continues their race against Stanley Snyder, they split into two groups, one focused on cracking the Medusa, and the other on trekking across the Andes. This episode balances humor, technical insight, and looming danger perfectly, giving us new character dynamics and a few important reveals. From Joel's genius return to Luna's hilarious misunderstanding, this chapter is a fun but pivotal step forward in the road to the Amazon and the future of humanity. Joel returns after understanding the Medusa's Secrets Back in Corn City, Nikki and the rest of the crew begin studying the Medusa. After Homura retrieves it from the river, the group struggles to dissect it safely. Realizing they need a specialist, they revive Joel, the expert watchmaker, who quickly becomes their best shot at unlocking the device's mystery. Joel deduces that the Medusa's power source is a diamond, much like a replaceable battery. Though the diamond runs out of charge, Joel is confident it can be reused. This breakthrough opens a major path forward in their plan to counter Stanley and restore the world. Andes mission: Senku's team faces harsh terrain Meanwhile, Senku's team preps to cross the Andes Mountains. With Stanley still chasing them, time is limited. They weigh everyone for efficient bike usage, prompting some lighthearted moments, especially Luna's assumption that she's dating Senku, much to the group's amusement. Once the mountain climb begins, the group struggles with the steep terrain. But true to form, Senku proposes building a ropeway to get through safely. It's a classic Dr. Stone move: a clever, science-backed solution to a seemingly impossible challenge. Character moments in Dr. Stone season 4 episode 16 Aside from the science and tension, this episode also delivers some fun character beats. Luna's romantic assumptions about Senku create a cute moment of levity. Chelsea's confidence about the rainforest's condition also reassures the team and keeps spirits high. These interactions help balance the fast-paced adventure with emotional connection, keeping fans engaged not just by the plot, but by the bonds forming between characters.
