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.

    for years and years, I wanted nothing to do with American history. To me the 250 year span of America was the most boring epoch possible

    I was the same but anything european in general from the last 1000 years

    I've since graduated to anything younger than 10,000 years old being boring

    And I've come around to very recent history being interesting but only in the sense of analyzing the social relations and analogizing them to stuff that happens today.
