Orcs are an interesting race in LOTR, elves corrupted by Morgoth and Sauron.

[@michaldimitrov3233]

That's no excuse. I got corrupted by Morgoth and Sauron, yet I remain polite and care about my appearance and personal hygiene. Those elves were bad apples.

[@michaldimitrov3233]

@@northplayyyer3453 That seems like a fair point. I did start drinking copious amount of tea and taking out my own teeth since I became corrupted. Crikey!

[@JoshuaHeald]

I've often wondered if the half-orcs and goblin-men that Saruman used as servants, weren't created by some kind of dark magic that mutated men into orcs. When Saruman wrecks the Shire, he has Grima with him and insinuates that Grima devoured the corpse of Lotho Sackville-Baggins. Grima was a man of Rohan and was corrupt, but following his ousting becomes vilely submissive to the wizard. I wonder is Saruman didn't mutate Grima into some kind of orc-man, violent and hungry for man-flesh, or hobbit. That's just my own speculation, though! *Happy Easter and Springtime!*

It is unknown if the Orcs were immortal like the Elves. There is, in any case, a hint for a long lifespan in the story of Azog and Bolg. Bolg, being the son of Azog, was the chieftain of the Orcs who attacked Erebor in the Battle of Five Armies in T.A. 2941. Azog himself was killed in the Battle of Azanulbizar in T.A. 2799, so Bolg was at least 142 years old.

[@annaroselarsen4218]

Happy Easter!

[@titobeme]

In LOTRO, there’s a quest in Goblin Town where there’s an imprisoned goblin who promises to give you info you need if you help him escape. He swears he’ll not only give the intel, but ally with you as well. Once freed though, he proceeds to attack and you’re forced to kill him. That’s the nature of orc kind. Ever treacherous.

The original Silmirilion

[@godofwar1498]

I love your channel 👍 👍

[@Cauin450]

From what I understand it wasn't just the Elves who Melkor took, he also took men and Dwarves, forcing them to interbreed. Which is where Elves get the idea of corruption. Wasn't just that they were ruined and terrible forms of life, it was their essential Elvish Grace was diluted to the point of almost nonexistence. Every time Melkor got had the opportunity to add a new form to the mix, even some of the Maiar in his service, I'm sure he would. Which is how he beat one by one each of the Orcs weaknesses. Remember how Saruman breed Orcs with Dunlending men to create the Uruk-hai?

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

Original Silmarillion, please! Happy Easter!

[@wagon9082]

Good video

[@piotrmontgomerytv7786]

We need to keep in mind that Silmarillion is not Arda's Bible and it contains only a version of the events of the first age rather than actual canon. I think a real answer Gandalf gave. That orcs are corrupted Maiar which had no power whatsoever and therefore ended up as orcs.

[@sephirothdomain1]

Burying an orc bone and it sprouting 5 other orcs is horrifying lmao

[@alanpennie]

I'm sure Jason would agree.

[@StarsAndDreamz]

I always wondered if Melkor could keep the elves' souls from going back to the Halls of Mandos, and that's how he corrupted them to their cores.

[@clintonclay3158]

That scene of the orcs making weapons in Isengard aaand the ome is screaming and losing his shit makes me cackle everytime i see it AHHHHHEHEHEH"

[@randyfant2588]

Not quite. When the Valar found the Eldar they were separated into 3 groups. 1 group became the Elves, 1 group became the Sea Elves while the 3rd group became the Gnomes. This shows that the initial Eldar tribes were made up of both tall and short members, however, before having the short members separated into a different group and forming a separate race, they split, with some fleeing into the darkness. This means that those that fled were certainly mixed between the tall and short. With the emphasis placed on physical strength by the dark races it makes sense that the short members would separate themselves off at the first chance, forming a new race. Therefore while Orcs are corrupted Elves, Goblins are corrupted Gnomes, all four descended from the Eldar but separated into different distinct races, two tall and two short.

[@ronniecorbett6306]

[@ThatMainframeDude]

I love Orcs (or Orks) from all fantasy genres.

[@gwoody4003]

The issue of Orc's 'soul' and their willingness to participate in the great wars has always had me scratching my head. Were they sentient creatures. In the literature, they are frequently portrayed in a way that suggests they have individual minds, personalities and motives. Some are clever or stupid, aome are really good at their jobs and others are incompetent. They seem to enjoy being at war and living the army life... though what else would they be doing? Painting? Writing poetry? Stompin' on bugs for fun? Who knows. They are under some spell or influence that gives them the courage to fight and to be in the open and in daylight doing it. They are dutiful. They do their jobs and seem to have pride in it. And the leadership is dedicated to the command structure and overall mission... we see them motivating their troops, demanding they uphold a level of standards and showing an allegiance to their master and to their own kind in-general. They have pride in their home-town and their clan... they all look down on the others for being goblins/orcs/uruks and for being from where ever they are from. They would pull rank and jurisdiction on each other like a Sheriff Dept, Sate Police and FBI all working the same case.😂 So they exhibit some personality, some empathy, some senses of pride and shame... but its all within their necessary set of functions. They have free will up to the point they must obey their master. Its like RoboCop's prime directive. That movie also addressed this very issue... at what point does a creation become a creature? They are more like bio-mechanical battle drones with really good AI. Sauron's Uruks were literally born with a sword in their hand. They pop out the ground fully grown, fully trained... somehow... and ready to go off to war the next day. They don't even have to learn to walk 😂. But then... there are societies of orcs, goblins, ect. Obviously the ones that crawled back into their holes after the first war of the ring clearly went on living without being unwittingly complelled by a dark master for 1000s of years. So then.... are there lady orcs? Or do they still pry new guys out of holes in the ground? Can they reproduce or are they like elves... immortal so long as nbobody outright kills them? Are they the same ones that fought in the first battles? The literature references them multiplying and spreading out more as the borders of men went unguarded... but also references that say they were being bred in vast numbers in Mordor like they were being cloned or grown like mushrooms. So IDK... they are just AI drones when there is an evil master controlling them but I suppose they are a "people" in the between times, as much as AI would be considered "people." Without their purpose... wtf do orcs do all day?

[@47nima]

In lotr appendix about dwarves of Durin, talkin wrote about Bolg being Azog's son, so although not in the Hobbit, but it's as talkin himself told

[@TarMody]

The disruption of the ideal Arda, which was intended to be created by the Music of the Ainur, is due to Melkor incarnating his spiritual power into it (weaving his melody into it in music during its performance) after the vision of Arda was created with the Secret Fire. When we consider incarnate existence as soul (fëa) and body (hröa), just as the body can be corrupted like Arda due to Melkor's will (incarnation of his spiritual power), the soul can also be corrupted metaphysically by this will. At this point, could rings of power be a key to this spiritual healing? The function of the rings of power may be based on pacifying Melkor's will, which pervades the material of Arda. In this perspective, can an orc's corrupted soul be healed through a ring of power?

[@thomassmith6232]

One of the big aims of any power planning war is to de-humanize the enemy.

[@deividf.9898]

Yes to the original silmarilion

[@fricholas7608]

Looks like meats back on the menu boys!

[@SamtheIrishexan]

Perhaps they had both origins, they were corrupted Elves whose essence was used to craft the race through breeding. Uruk-Hai are the ranks of corrupted Elves, and the stone from the bowels of the Earth was used to breed them to create the other ranks. Their breeding perhaps was unable to reach the essence of the corrupt elves, the immortality. Sort of like horse and donky can only have mules. Thus a smaller less intelligent orc is the successive generations after the Uruk were created out of the corrupt elves and the essence of stone that Melkor was able to craft but wasnt sentient in its being as it was not created by God.

[@SamtheIrishexan]

Some may also be half human attempts at breeding.

[@SpacePatrollerLaser]

If we are induging in the metaphsical, a thought has occurred to me of late. If Sauron would have recovered the One Ring, and he was considerably weakened, losing the ability to hava fair form, would the Ring have eventually consumed him?

[@sirvilhelmofyonderland]

I’m interested in what average orcs do when not being commanded by a force like Sauron . Do they ever just hang out, eat and enjoy the day?

[@47nima]

And absolutely they're not Maiar, 12 maiar who joined melkor, they became Balrog, other than Sauron which was one of the mightiest of all maiar good or evil, in the same level as Eönwë

[@Pre-op8ut]

So ultimately orcs are hybridized clones. Weird because wasnt his end game to hide amongst them rather than raise hell so to speak.

[@theMightywooosh]

It would have made more sense just to make them slightly evolved pigs and/or warthogs Otherwise it would have been impossible to raise the large armies that they did in this short amount of time, as others have said there's a million plot holes and contrivances in these books, but we still enjoy them

[@dmr6640]

It seems to me that the goblins (orcs) in the mines of Moria were smaller than in other places. Maybe those were orc women crawling down the walls. Hell knows no fury like a woman's scorn.

[@Mrguypersonmandudebro]

just bc the orcs take revenge doesn’t mean its out of grief of to avenge their comrades, it might just be an ego thing. Orcs hate feeling weak. Anything that challenges them must be destroyed.

How come all the orcs couldn’t climb walls/pillars like the ones in Moria in the movies, if they were both orc groups and not goblins? Seems like it would of been advantageous at minus tirith and helms deep to be able to climb the walls.

[@johannesperkio1829]

Orcs from moria had their armors designed after Durins bane, there was spikes in their shoes and gauntlets that Made climbing possible, also it came from necessity, they Made their homes on top of the pillars, safe from the flames

[@RyanGr33n]

In Christian theology, everything God creates, Satan perverts and makes his own counterfeits, Tolkien makes this a clear theme in his writings that Morgoth never has power enough to create anything new on his own, all he can do is counterfeit. He cannot create light so he destroys the trees and steals the Silmarili, he needs to capture eagles to make flying dragons, he needs to capture elves to make Uruk Hai, etc. Tolkien is orders of magnitude deeper if you can read him through biblical lens.

[@GloriousRAT]

Framing device? I've been using one without even knowing what it was called. LOL Now on to other matters... In my Realms of Erda (Pronounced: Air duh) Orcs, Goblins, and Hobgoblins are different races. Orcs & Goblins were crafted by the gods during Arithorund ( Pronounced: Uh rith oh rund), the Waking Age of Erda. Hobgoblins along with Chymaveds (my version of Bugbears [WotC property]) came soon afterwards, as the two "parent" races intermixed. Hobgoblins & Chymaveds (Pronounced: Kee muh veds) interact regularly, but it is physical differences that delineate these two "children" races. Hobgoblins look more like their Goblin ancestors, having sharply pointed ears and noses. The Chymaveds by contrast have rounder ears and more bulbous noses, looking less Goblin-like. All four races can and will work together. Their future? Orcs have lived for too long under the lash of others, primarily the Dark Elves. They launch a rebellion and win their freedom (a novel in my next series). Goblins during the unrest of the Orc rebellion become a completely mercenary society; mining & crafting for whoever pays them the most. Hobgolins & Chymaveds, as a lesser evolved pair of races, remain in servitude, they know no other life.

[@Saber23]

Since when was “choice” a moral problem with something like this? And since when the hell did it make a difference where evil behaviour and beings came from? All that matters is that they exist and need to be dealt with

[@joedatius]

because the larger implications is how likely they would be of being freed of that control and being able to be redeemed of their deeds. Its a pretty big deal especially considering how Gollum is in many ways the same as an Orc, a perversion of the goodness of Halflings, who's possible redemption was almost achieved if it wasn't for the actions others.
