Somebody once said that "I don't trust anybody that claims to speak for God because their depiction of God and his opinions always seem to coincide with their own." In the case of Urd Belldandy and Skuld from Ah My Goddess, the Goddesses of Fate who control the birth life and death of everyone on earth, this is absolutely true in both the case of Kosuke Fujishima and Kevin Neece.
In the original Oh My Goddess Manga, Kosuke Fujishima depicts Belldandy and Skuld as motor enthusiasts because it is Keiichi Morisato's hobby and it allows them to relate to him. It's not because The Norns are Auto Enthusiasts in Real Life, it's because they are being written by Kosuke Fujishima who is an Auto Enthusiast in Real Life and is writing his own hobbies and preferences into his characters as an extension of himself.
Kevin Neece does the exact same thing on his depiction of Ah My Goddess. Kevin Neece is a Video Mashup Artist with a Film Study Education in films from the 1960s and Cult Audience Horror Movies from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, not too different from Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese. Kevin Neece is one of life's great watchers, all he does is live and breath fictional movies and pop culture cinema, and he mixes and matches characters from his favorite movies on Ah My Goddess like an Alamo Drafthouse Mixtape using the Tardis from Doctor Who as the glue that connects all of the movie universes together. So Urd Belldandy Skuld and Mara Marller all suspiciously have the exact same knowledge of cinematic films that Kevin Neece has because they are written by him. They share the same knowledge that he does.
Kosuke Fujishima depicts the Goddesses of Fate hanging out and watching Television all day at Tarhiki Hongan Temple in the anime series and manga series, engaging in contests over who gets control over the television set. In the pilot episode of Ah My Goddess 2005, Keiichi Morisato attempts to return a VHS Rental to the Video Store, showcasing that the Nekomi Gang absolutely rents movies just like Kevin Neece does. If the Goddesses of Fate have been living on Earth with Keiichi since the early 1990s and all that they do is watch television and movie rentals, does it not stand to reason that they would have taken the time to watch all of the famous hollywood films that Kevin Neece has seen throughout his life.
Kevin Neece's depiction of Skuld Nornir as both a Death Goddess and a Die Hard Movie Fanatic with Working Knowledge of Hollywood Trivia Nonsense in Spielbergian Housewarming Gift is entirely accurate to what Skuld Nornir actually is in real life. It's Kosuke Fujishima's Engineer Cosplayer Child that makes Killer Robots like Mr Banpei and Homemade Explosives that is the Fantasy Depiction being applied to her. In Real Life, the Goddesses of Fate are die hard movie fanatics, and that is why you repeatedly see Hollywood Actors dying under situations surrounded by unexplainable irony and coincidence in patterns of three, that keep getting attributed to the Illuminati.
