I've always been aggravated by the way Odin looks to so many people because of Marvel. (I've only seen any of the movies because I have a crush on Tom Huddleston) Why can't I find any articles or videos about how Marvel made Odin look bad?! I have worked with him before, and I've become very passionate about this.
Having a crush on Tom Hiddleston is completely understandable. I went to London (I live in San Francisco - a not-inexpensive 11 hour plane flight) to see him in "Betrayal". I get it. And he is even more charming and handsome in person . . . .
Oh, right, where was I? Right. Odin. Deity images. This got rather more expansive than I first thought, so I've added a cut to spare everyone's scrolling hand.
There likely are articles from people who are similarly displeased with Anthony Hopkins personifying the Allfather. I'm not sure how one would search for those; the search terms could vary wildly. My guess would be to find a Marvel forum thread from around the time the first "Thor" movie came out—there would probably have been intense debates between people who think he should have looked like a medieval woodcut, and people who think he needed more gold in his costume. Or find a thread on a Norse/heathen forum around the same time—you can probably find endless lamentations of the images of each of the characters in the film. (Thinking of someone who stated that Renee Russo couldn't play Frigga because she was "too pretty". Really glad that was an overheard comment, and not a discussion I was personally involved in.)
When an image comes from popular culture and the item (movie, book, etc.) is widely embraced, that image embeds in individual and collective consciousness. People who've never seen the movies will pick up on that image and perpetuate them. I understand it's aggravating when that's not how you see the being.
While you can't change the pervasiveness of the MCU image, you can channel your passion into creating and sharing an image that seems right to you. It may or may not achieve the same critical mass in the collective consciousness, but you have put forth your vision.
Not everyone is going to share the same perspective—that's why we have so many different representations of the same being, whether human, divine, or other.
For example, this is the image on my Odin altar. It's actually a sticker from Death Wish Coffee Company, which sent the sticker with my first order of Valhalla Java:
It's a classic drawing of Odin. I left the "Odinforce Blend" words on it, because even though they refer to the coffee, it makes me think about what blending Odin's energies with other energies might produce. Other people might be offended that I'm using a coffee company sticker on my altar, but it works for me, and it's my altar, so it doesn't have to work for anyone else.
Work with the images that work for you. Try to let go of your aggravation, and let everyone else work with the images that work for them. If someone imagines Odin as Anthony Hopkins in a gold brocade robe, or in shiny armor astride a CGI Sleipnir, that's their choice. They may change their mind when they see a different image, and perhaps that image will come from you!

Java言語の仕様変更をめざす Project Valhallaの紹介。従来の Javaでは (intなどの)プリミティブ型とクラスなどの参照型は厳格に区別されていたが、これは最適化のうえで障害となっていた。Valhallaでは参照型でない「値クラス」と「プリミティブクラス」を新たに追加する。

I’m not a big fan of the DeathWish coffee but the Valhalla Java, OdinForce isn’t bad.

So they want me going up a grade of sock pressure, switching to decaf, and reeeeaaaally forcing the fluids. The cardiologist was at least kind enough to write me a “yeah, we want this poor sod on about 64oz of fluid a day in perpetuity, so there may be a lot more peeing” note for my supervisors.
