Anyone here watch that off-brand Shadowrun movie Bright? They pushed the orcs=oppressed minorities angle, even though in the movie it was explicitly stated they did indeed serve off-brand Sauron in its recent history. Also I liked how Will Smith's character was never invalidated for his inherent -ism against magical creatures. The orcs ran street gangs, the elves were into dark magic, etc.
Yes. It's not based, but it's not a preachy lecture about how stereotypes are false. It's more of a ''this is your new normal, bigot. Sit down and live like this in a diverse shithole.''
There is one noticing joke that dosen't turn into a ''how dare you, bigot'' lecture.
Bright was a much better movie than "a Netflix buddy cop movie starring Will Smith and an orc" had any right to be.
They should film Bright II. I bet Will is getting desperate for a paycheck.
Awesome movie. But "recent" history? Bro, it was like 1000 years ago. Orcs were trash for being criminals. Not because of what their ancestors did 1000 years ago.
Oh, really? I thought their war for the ring or whatever was analogous to WW2. I remember there being 'dark lord' graffiti tags in the orc hood.
I looked it up, and yeah, the LOTR shit happened 'millennia ago'. Meaning it took thousands of years for there to be a good orc, lol.
The guy who raised an army and lead a band of heroes was an orc farmer.
The Dark Lord was originally defeated because there was at least one good orc at the time.
But yeah. He took a lot of shit before and during standing up to the Dark Lord. First from the rest of the orcs, then from everyone else who pointed out that orcs were willing servants of Evil Incarnate.
