I’m think that’s the point. Roger was always supposed to be this larger than life figure back when we weren’t even close to the one piece. But now that we see Luffy is close to attaining it and becoming the pirate king, Roger’s legend doesn’t portray him as larger than life anymore because we’re so close to it ourselves. So odas showing Roger as just a guy. He wasn’t some unbeatable godly strong dude, he wasn’t this unmatched aura farmer, he was just a dude.
