On a side note that no one probably cares about but I'm anal-retentive like that anyway:

In the actual old Norse Mythology, "Giants" ("Jotun" to be more specific) actually came in many sizes, with most of the "named" Giants actually being described as closer to human-sized (or at least of the same size as the Asgardians), though there were certainly exceptions that ranged into the much larger scales and others could change their size.

After all, Loki is of giant descent and perfectly normal-sized. Lots of the Norse gods were half-giant (In the original mythology this included Thor).

Just pointing out that there's a precedent for "not so giant" giants. Heck, even in the Marvel comics themselves they haven't always been that much bigger than the Asgardians (though at other times yes, they're shown as huge).
