Yeah, I think that's what Brodie was getting at. Like, no one can deny Meryl Streep's skillz but she wouldn't exactly make a great Batgirl, for example.

Who doesn't look like the character they're playing? Almost everybody seems spot on, IMO.

I haven't read Thor in a few years, but last time I checked Heimdall wasn't black. If that has changed in the comics, then OK. Same deal with that Japanese actor playing Hogun.

And then there is Anthony Hopkins. I just can't see him as some massively powerful God like Odin... but maybe that one can be pulled off. Its really just a personal preference.

Hogun isn't supposed to be whitr he has always been supposed to be of a Mongolian race.

Hogun I have no issues with. He's not Aesir born to begin with. He's of an unknown Asian race (hinted to be Mongolian, mostly from his clothes). who joined the Asgardians after his people were wiped out. Heimdall being black is the weirdest thing.

Man, I don't get this skin color changes thing. I hated it when they made Kingpin into a Bronx gangster. What do they do that for?

Heimdall I'll give you, but Hogun has almost always been portrayed with a very Mongolian-esque look and the actor playing him played Ghengis Khan in the film Mongol, so I don't really see any problem there.
