Purists will always complain. There was a lot left out of the LOTR trilogy along with some creative liberties. That will always happen regardless. Of all Tolkien adaptations this series has the potential to be amazing by not deviating from certain things that we already know. Stick to that and then fill in the details as seen fit.

Not really. They were created by Morgoth in the First Age. Used in many battles in that time period. If anything. the source material gave the impression that they started as mindless evil soldiers incapable of empathy, and then slowly became more intelligent over time to the point of talking and having conversation in the LotR books.

Tortured Elves In The Silmarillion, Tolkien suggests that the first orcs were created from captured Elves who were enslaved, tortured, and bred by Morgoth, also known as Melkor. Morgoth's elves called themselves the Moriondor, or "Sons of the Dark". Evil Elves The Silmarillion also suggests that some Elves may have turned evil and savage in the wild. Created from Earth In The Book of Lost Tales, Tolkien describes Melkor creating orcs directly from the earth. Men Later writings, such as Myths Transformed, suggest that orcs may have originated from Men. The word "orc" comes from older words for monsters, including "ogre". Tolkien also drew inspiration from George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin. |

I don't think I've ever seen you make a positive post about anything. You must be an incredibly miserable person, who is so miserable he spends most of his time going around shitting on anything anyone else enjoys so he can try to make the rest of the world as miserable as he is. I pity you.
