I'm not really peeved at Heimdall's actor being black; I think it's an odd choice, but so long as the performance is decent, I won't mind. But trying to make Thor more science fiction than fantasy is just stupid. The whole point the Avengers have such a great dynamic is because the Big Three each represent a part of a whole. They have a chance to make the first epic fantasy/superhero movie, on scale with Lord of the Rings in terms of scope. I won't mind if people like Stark and other scientists try to make a rational explanation for Thor and why he can do the things he can, but his divinity shouldn't be cast in doubt.
