    I know a lot of fans dislike the use of CGI to make Orcs in The Hobbit films, but Azog looks by far the best Orc character design-wise and the amount of expression he has on his face makes him stand out more compared to others, i think that doing prosthetic work on the actor's face wouldn't have given the same effect. Azog's CG work coupled with Smeagol's CG work is really impressive in these films, for all the excessive use of CGI, they did very well when working on these characters.

      @Bogdan272 2 года назад +32

      I completely disagree. What made orcs so terrifying is that they LOOK humanish but lacked any emotion or empathy for anyone or anything let alone a person so the fact that the orcs in the hobbit were emotive and expressive is the thing that ruins it completely for me.
      That and the fact Bolg literally just had random parts of metal IN his body on his chest and ribs as opposed to just wearing a breastplate made him look ridiculous, like he was some weird Orc robot hybrid made to look super edgy and generic with a bad ass scar and a blind eye plus cool sharp things sticking out of him like a 14 year old kid designed it lol

    lugdush and mauhur, both lieutenants of ugluk who looked at other orcs as inferior, no problem fighting or killing them, and had enough intelligence to distinguish food from hobbits, unlike the orcs from mordor, and they boasted incredible stamina and discipline in their mission, making for a pack of very intimidating, driven, bloodlusting warriors with purpose that would strike down anything in their way.
    vrasku, leader of a raiding party sent out to sew chaos in the mark, burning farms and villages alongside wild men.. he led the company which ambushed and killed an entire group of scouting rohirrim led by prince theodred, who died from his injuries. vrasku was killed in the battle, but he took a prince with him.

      Yeah he’s the most normal looking of the orcs I would say, like bolg has a metal skull plate thing and lurtz is just terrifying. one thing that’s interesting that I think most people over look is how azog (and maybe bolg I’m not sure) has different teeth than other orcs. His are much more human, almost looking like a chimps teeth. Plus, he can shut his mouth which almost distinguishes him from the other orcs who have their teeth on display most of the time. He definitely is the least disfigured of the orcs, which is honestly a pretty cool design choice for the chief of orcs

    Funniest thing is that LOTR orcs, despite having severe limitations of soul's corruption curse, inability to walk under the sun, shorter life span and etc. , were way more advanced than their adversaries in practically every single way. Dark lord's forces were literally employing renaissance tactics such as "pike and shoot" , they understood concepts of "tericio" , "rodeleros" and even "doppelsoldner", unlike bright forces, with their old simple tactics like "charge forward with everything". Same goes for equipment. While overwhelming numbers of humans, elfs and dwarves had just simple chainmail or some late 13th century style armor at very best (with couple of exceptions), most orcs were wearing 16-17th century style plate armor and on top of that, were armed with proper polearms (halberds, bardiches, partisans, spears and etc.) and powerful crossbows. Even their cleavers had pointy spike on the back part of the blade that makes it a chopper with armor penetration capability of pickaxe. Yeah, orc stuff looks crude, but their designs are practical, smart and what's even more important is that those "ahead of the time" things are wide spread in Dark Lord's army. Their logistics was perfect, their siege engineering was insane, their means of psychological warfare were brutally effective, their spies and infiltrators were everywhere, they literally were using skype in times of pigeon mail and had military program to create a breed of super soldier orcs. Result is... well, Dark Lord pulls out a superior army, both in numbers, training and tech.
    Don't forget that relatively small orc army literally destroyed powerful white city and it's defenders, killed Rohan's army and it's King. Yes, they lost lots of orcs as well during this siege, but even after loosing so many soldiers, Mordor still had ~10 such armies ready, while bright side was literally scraping the bottom of the barrel and sending ALL they had to win this battle.

      And then he betrayed me. I was determined to get him back as my bodyguard. But dude just kept killing me and when I did defeat him, I couldn't overpower his mind. Eventually he went crazy and became the main orc in the area. I only defeated him by lowering difficulty from Grave Walker to Normal.

    The terms "orc" and "goblin" are used interchangeably by Tolkien as originally he only used old English mythology as inspiration (such as the Dwarf names and the term Goblin), but later changed his mind and used "orc" which is the same mythological creature but with the Norman name, perhaps a little insult towards the Norman conquest which Tolkien described as the worst thing to happen in English history.
