Are there any good/neutral orcs or goblins in LOTR lore?

So the nature of Orcs as evil/not-evil-just-really-fighty is still being discussed within the game. So while Warcraft didn’t pioneer the idea of non-evil Orcs, greenskins with tusks, or Orcs being in control of their own destiny rather

There must have been orc-women. But in stories that seldom if ever see the Orcs except as soldiers of armies in the service of the evil lords we naturally would not learn much Yet, there has never been any mention of Orcs being supreme enough to be immortal. So, when he revised the Annals, Tolkien wrote in the margins, „Alter this. Orcs are not Elvish.“ Prime Video’s The Rings of Power Aragon doesn’t just mindlessly and mercilessly kill; he has a very genuine reason for slaughtering the rest of the orcs as they are so easily swayed to the path of evil, even if

Their view of a good death is one of going out in a blaze of glory on the battlefield. That doesn’t necessarily mean

a huge orc-chieftain, almost man-high so that implies that most Orcs would be much shorter. I think the average Orc would be a pretty useless soldier against normal people. It’s just that by

*orcs grunt respectfully* : r/LOTR_on_Prime

The orc in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, though of course partly made out of traditional features, is not really comparable in supposed origin, functions, and The Orcs aren’t work with 100% crazy monsters nor are they all innocent victims corrupted by demons, they are capable of great good or great evil just like any other race. tl;dr: Orcs (like humans) can be

Orcs and Tolkien’s treatment of ev

I always have thought that orcs can be good, if you simply let them and are patient enough, in a positive environment without evil overlords hanging around them. I changed my mind after reading in LOTR about 2 orcs having dreams Q: Are J.R.R. Tolkien’s Orcs Genetically Evil? ANSWER: This question comes straight out of an online discussion which wandered all over the place. I decided to focus on

Tolkien discussed the evil of the orcs quite a bit,and I think in the end he more or less decided that they aren’t inheritly evil, they are just raised in a evil society.

Evil cannot truly create, remember? Melkor can’t just create some race of beings ab initio that sort of resemble ents in terms of being large, vaguely humanoid and very strong.
