Pretty much 99+% of the time you see a depiction of an angel it will be some skinny dude with long blonde hair in a dress playing a harp while he floats around on two wings of delicate white feathers.
Where are people getting this from? This bears absolutely no resemblance to angels, or ANYTHING in the Bible. Every angel I see in the Bible has talons, or a face made of lightning, or body parts formed from semi-precious metals and gemstones. And two bird wings? More like seven made of fire.
I was actually prompted to think about this because of the disgraceful manner in which elves are treated in the Peter Jackson films. Legolas should be able to benchpress a Ford Taurus and stand a foot taller than everyone in that movie...Orland Bloom = fail.
