Even as a believing Mormon, I thought it was silly the way certain figures have come to be represented over the years, from the Americanization of Jesus to the modernization of Joseph Smith. Compare:
 |
| Big nose, slightly bug-eyed, looking like the 19th century military and spiritual leader he saw himself as. |
 |
| More prophet and less theocrat. Looks like a man burdened by God. |
 |
| Hey, the all-American boy. Handsome, strong, clothes and features completely removed from reality. Those marketers sure can do their job. |
