r/marvelstudios - Did anyone else not know that Pakistan used to be part of India before watching Ms. Marvel? Or that it’s only 70 years old or so?

Incredibly sad that so many people in the imperial core can only learn about history when their superhero entertainment slop barely mentioned it. Watchmen had a scene showing the Tulsa massacre and millions of white people were like, "Wait, that happened?" I guess we need Spider Man 9 to have a scene detailing the Iran-Contra scandal for most people to realize that Reagan wasn't a great guy.

    Oh I mean there are millions who found themselves on the other side of partition. What I am curious about is the framing of partition as bad, while still not questioning the validity of "this town is India no matter what". An acquiescence to the absoluteness of the nation state.
