If The Silmarillion was a Jane Austen novel, I think it'd be called Immortality & Immorality

On Repeated Visits

A friend from work asked me why I went back to Middle-Earth: Shadow of War so often. They're the Tolkien Purist type, the exact sort that wrinkles its nose at The Rings of Power.

I shrugged. I don't care much for Talion and Celebrimbor and the timeline getting Batman-Backbreaker'd in half in order to accomodate the designers' desire to design a city inhabited by Men without invoking Minas Tirith really didn't strike me as being sacrilegious. I don't need Everything Tolkien to be focused on Hobbits and I really don't mind Monolith ignoring and twisting huge swaths of the lore, not when said lore remains accessible in its correct form, through the Silmarilion and the Unfinished Tales.

I like Shadow of War that much because it gives one of the least-represented groups a voice, and does it in a way that respects their posture as antagonists while still adding more to the fire than the usual "Well, dur, the Uruk-Hai were made by Sauron, of course they'd follow him!"

SoW's Uruk can be seen and heard bickering, debating Ethics during wartime, behaving as much like weary soldiers as they would like the caricature of shellshocked pricks with War Crimes charges waiting in the rinks. You can see them trying to dodge conscription in hunting parties or raid groups, or step aside to question orders on the sly. They function off of woefully incorrect and incomplete information, yes - but they're asking all the right questions. They're like companies in Vietnam that went on for too long without furlough; the pecking order gets challenged, authority crumbles and the occupying force's fault lines are laid bare. They're shoddily trained and taught to think of themselves as the Bestest Evar, and some come achingly close to realizing that their training modes are insufficient. They're all clamoring for something better, but were never taught what to ask for, what to expect.

And so, logically, they hate those who have it better. The better-trained with palatable rations and properly-developed skills. Those who were given processing skills to tolerate the rigors of war without snapping. The Men of Gondor and the Elves of Rivendell or Lorien. Their aversion to light isn't just an affect of their starting as troglodytes, it marks their finding the other races' acquired power and wisdom as being insulting to their own efforts. It speaks to a massive inferiority complex and a sense of envy that's pervasive in their culture, that they see as more or less smothered away behind their hatred.

In my mind, the Orcs aren't really hateful - they're envious. They just can't process this correctly, being the product of generalized trauma. It speaks of Sauron as being an absent ruler and commander, an abusive father, an incompetent figure of authority and a force of Evil for whom the only driving factor is his absolute pugnaciousness. Sauron is very much a Karen, and he's spent two Ages of Middle-Earth's history trying to Speak to the Manager.

With that in mind, how could you not pity the Orcs and find them several orders of magnitude more interesting than Arda's better-adjusted races?

Maedhros, Maglor and Celegorm: *SCREAMING*

Feanor, bursting through the door: WHAT'S WRONG NELYO??

Celegorm: wait, why do you only ask him? We screamed too

Feanor: because Nelyo screams only when it's an emergency. The rest of you scream when you get the chance.
