I was (mostly) teasing, Ed.  However, it's worth pointing out that there's no reason to expect a (possibly) divine race of extra-dimensional creatures would have ethnic features identical to those people who worship them.

I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything, because this isn't the place for that kind of discussion, but it's just such a weird place to draw the line for suspension of disbelief, in my eyes.

(And nordic types playing god among the primitive cultures?  I probably have a whole rack of science-fiction books and movies revolving around that very premise, not to mention the whole von Däniken series.  I think John Campbell might have done it first.)

Ed Love:
I think the race switch would have been better for Hogun and they could have beefed up his and the Warriors Three roles some. At least then you're only violating one level of continuity, the comics. Especially with Hiemdell who is actually referenced as being white. Plus, while Hiemdell is a big figure in the myths, in the Thor comics, the only "real" gods that get a lot of play are Odin, Sif, Thor, Loki, Baldur and Hel. Prominent gods like Freyr, Freyja, Tyr and Hiemdell rarely make appearances, the comics focus more on the made up ones: Enchantress, Executioner, Karnilla, Warriors 3. It's a little strange to see Hiemdell play such a key and plot pivotal role in the movie.
