Kind of a silly question here but I did notice a strange phenomena. When I read about Manwe for some reason or no reason at all I pictured him without a beard. But then I see that Gandalf as Olorin was one of Manwe's Maiar so naturally I thought that he might have a Zeus or Odin type appearance instead.
Then I saw some fan art of the Valar and most of them had Manwe be beardless as well. I don't know why I initially thought of him as clean shaven but I felt it strange that others thought so as well.
Do you think Manwe should be bearded?
