Stringer Bell owns all of Asgard's corners.
But, anyways, let's consider this: Thor isn't real. He never was, even when he was "real" to the Norse. As a fictional creation who has had countless stories told about him and his inbred bunch of relatives, its inevitable that many of them drift from their ostensible source material and go different places than expected by his fans. Consider Batman; he's been around for close to a century now, and you've got interpretations of him ranging from the pulpy crimefighter to the lightly goofy kindergarten version to the epic fantastic and everything in between. Thor has been around much longer and doesn't even have lawyers to protect his identity. Saying that he's supposed to be X or Y after what Jack Kirby and Marvel have done with/to him is even more absurd. I mean, is he contractually obligated to turn into a frog at some point? I mean, I'D watch that in a sequel, but I doubt Hollywood would go for it.
Also, how many times have people done Shakespeare productions with dress and casting far from what the Elizabethan Globe audience would have expected in their day? Macbeth is still Macbeth even if the cast is all morbidly obese lesbians wearing wizard hats.
