The War Goddess's Trip to Earth
The distance from Asgard to Earth is actually not far.
For the Asgardians, who possessed spaceships, it was only a very short time.
The goddess of war Sif, entered Earth in her spaceship without being detected by any force.
With Earth's current technology, interstellar travel is simply impossible, let alone discovering spaceships.
Then, Sif found the right direction.
Thor last came to North America, so she naturally wanted to go there to look for him.
Where are there more people?
Her spaceship scanned the area and immediately marked several crowded spots.
Things are easier to buy in crowded places.
So she took control of the spaceship and flew directly towards Los Angeles.
This continent has a densely populated city on both its east and west sides, with Los Angeles being closer to it.
She found a quiet spot to park the spaceship and then walked out.
The Los Angeles sun was blinding, and Sif was somewhat lost. Where should she go to buy Thor wanted?
Fortunately, she wasn't a complete novice, and soon spotted a newsstand.
Bauer's newsstand had been there for a long time, witnessing almost the entire rise of Hollywood. He also loved the city, where there was always an endless stream of gossip and juicy stories to hear.
He would shout to anyone he knew, "There's some juicy gossip today, so-and-so cheated on their partner too!"
Hollywood is never short of these kinds of scandals.
Just then, he saw a figure approaching.
As the woman walked, the armor on her body made a clanging sound.
She had black hair, blue eyes, and a distinctly Scandinavian appearance.
She also carried a longsword and a shield on her back.
However, Bauer wasn't too shocked, only asking in confusion, "Is there a cosplay convention nearby?"
"Hey girl, your outfit is too plain."
In Bauer's opinion, Sif's outfit wasn't as realistic as some cosplays.
Sif walked over and asked with a haughty expression, "Boss, do you sell Rick and Morty here?"
Bauer looked speechless. "This is a newsstand, I only sell newspapers, not Rick and Morty."
Where should I buy it?
Sif wasn't surprised; she just wanted to know the direction.
Bauer leaned out and pointed in a direction. "Go that way, there's a Blockbuster, you can go check if they have any."
"However, given how popular Rick and Morty is, it probably hasn't been released on DVD yet."
This made the goddess of war Sif, frown; she was worried she wouldn't be able to buy it.
"Thanks."
However, she still thanked them and then walked towards Blockbuster.
Bauer shouted, "You can buy a few newspapers and take a look!"
However, Sif's figure grew farther and farther away.
"Shit, newspapers are selling worse and worse."
Bauer sighed, "This trip is almost over."
With the internet becoming increasingly developed, who still reads newspapers?
Just like in Amusing Ourselves to Death, the development of television brought about a change in the way we communicate, and now it's the turn of mobile phones and the Internet.
This is even more violent than television.
The emergence of television did not have a significant impact on traditional media; on the contrary, it accelerated their development, allowing them to speak out without restraint and brainwash the audience.
Because viewers have no other channels to watch the news besides television and newspapers, they are easily brainwashed and incited.
But the internet is different; it offers more channels for expressing one's opinions.
In the era of new media, who will reign supreme?
Sif asked for directions along the way and finally found Blockbuster.
Blockbuster is now in its twilight years, as it is nearing bankruptcy.
It's a sad story to see a giant with over 9,000 stores worldwide fall into bankruptcy.
But this is the result of falling behind the times. The internet has risen, and the emergence of streaming media such as Netflix has completely shattered the old system.
People no longer need to go to physical stores to rent DVDs; they can watch movies directly online.
Therefore, Blockbuster's decline was inevitable.
With their vast offline inventory, they are naturally unwilling to accept the so-called 'reform'.
Sif pushed open the door and came in; there were still a few people at Blockbuster in Los Angeles.
She went straight to the front desk and said to the girl wearing glasses, "Hello."
The girl with glasses blushed slightly upon seeing the dashing Sif: "Hi."
She dreams of looking like Sif!
Sif didn't understand why she was so excited, but simply nodded and said, "I want to buy Rick and Morty."
"Rick and Morty?"
"Right."
The girl with glasses said regretfully, "They don't sell them."
"Why?"
"Because Starlight Pictures isn't planning to release DVDs anymore; they're going to go straight to streaming. It seems like Hollywood movies won't have DVDs anymore in the future."
The girl with glasses spoke with a hint of sadness, because if Blockbuster bankrupt, she would have to find a new job.
Standing amidst the changes of our times, there is a certain sadness in everything we do.
Sif, of course, couldn't empathize; she only felt that the technology was too outdated.
"Then how can I see it?"
"It's simple, you just need to go back to the paid Starlight Pictures channel. I've subscribed at home too, and the latest episodes of 'Game of Thrones' are really good."
The girl with glasses said excitedly, "If your internet speed is fast, you can also watch it online. There are many resources online now, but they're not very high definition."
"Rick and Morty Season 1 has ended, and it's all over the internet."
Sif frowned, then asked, puzzled, "Can I see it in Asgard?"
Asgard?
The girl with glasses looked at Sif in confusion before realizing that she had gotten too caught up in the role.
Sif is clearly a cosplayer; I wonder which character she's portraying?
Asgard's goddess of war?
You might have to go to Olympus to see it.
The girl with glasses also cracked a joke.
Sif frowned and said, "But that's Zeus's territory."
"Uh... I was just kidding."
The girl with glasses realized that this older woman was really into her role, so she became a little hesitant to do anything rash.
"You shouldn't be able to find the Starlight Channel elsewhere."
She had no choice but to speak seriously.
"Really? That's a shame. Is there any other way?"
Sif was well aware that with Earth's primitive technology, signals simply couldn't reach Asgard.
Asgard, of course, cannot receive the channels from here.
Otherwise, Thor wouldn't have made her make the trip.
The girl with glasses, being quite imaginative, suggested, "This was produced by Starlight Pictures. Why don't you go check it out at Starlight Pictures?"
Women tend to be more imaginative and unrealistic.
But it must be said, this made Sif nod in agreement.
This is the best way: go directly to the producer!
That's how they operate in Asgard: if they can't solve the problem, they solve the person who created it.
Now, naturally, we just need to find the people who made Rick and Morty.
Sif immediately asked, "Which way?"
"That way, towards Hollywood!"
The girl with glasses pointed out a way.
