Why did God get such a makeover in the New Testament?

In the Old Testament, God is mean and kills everybody. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, bone for bone.

But in the New Testament, God is suddenly nice and tells us to be nice to everybody. Jesus is basically nice to the point of wimpiness, telling us to turn the other cheek when somebody strikes one of our cheeks. In fact, the only time where Jesus ever becomes mean is John 8:44, where  Jesus attacks the Old Testament God. (Jesus' infamous anti-Semitic rant where he claims that the Old Testament God is actually Satan and the Jews are actually Satan worshippers.)

So why did God have such a makeover in the New Testament?
