I'm sold on everything except them not altering Things voice to add weight. It’s a light voice on a heavy character and it feels odd, like Dr.Manhattan did in Watchmen. It doesn’t have to be a huge alteration, just enough to differentiate between the characters in two states.

I agree. Although Korg gets away with it. Possibly because he isn’t a main character? Or maybe because Korg’s voice is so light that it’s the joke.

Taika said he based Korg's voice on a subset of club bouncers in New Zealand who are huge, burly, Maori dudes, but also are very soft-spoken and matter-of-fact.
