I think superhero registration was implied, starting with Civil War and then further in Wandavision. I don’t recall a specific explanation of the precise laws, but it seems to have emerged as the status quo that the US government has become very heavy-handed in their supervision of super powered individuals.

I’ve already watched the next one, and in the first scene of the next episode, they basically declare this, but it was my understanding going in, too.

The acting and writing of this show is really working for me. Kingsly as Slattery is amazing. Joey Pants’ character is amazing. I’m so glad he took this. “Yeah, folks don’t know how hard auditions are. Of course, I’m offer only now so I can’t relate.”

I lived in LA from 2010 to 2022, and still love the city, and this way people talk about show biz and stuff is so wonderfully local. “I got into Venice before even Arnold” is so smarmy and local and I love it. The lady reading lines badly at the self-tape studio was also just great. This show is so much sharper and funnier than most of Marvel’s shows and movies so far.bThis show reminds me of Bojack Horseman, and I’m really onboard.
