When Loki threw the sword down, did he look like Matt Damon?
Now, I'm not gonna kick-&-scream for the the brothers (not too hard, anyhow), but why do Bartleby and Loki look like two scoops of Anglo-vanilla ice cream?
Now, I know that The Powers (and their adversaries) posess a knack for recognizing one another, yet I've always felt that this was never fully a physical recognition...as in, "I sense a presence I've not felt...since..."
Now, as a Gaiman-afficianado, I wouldn't imagine that they even looked like bi-peds towards the beginning...but what about the recent history of the angels?...how about throughout human history?
Has race and character been a consistent for the Heavenly Host (to say nothing of the abstract and the damned)?
