I actually kind of liked the idea “yeah the orcs were just people we didn’t like, and all the descriptions that they’re monsters were just racism.” Tolkien and the strong morality were one part I loved about it; it wasn’t simple or naive but it was right and wrong. But yeah, if you wanna change it up to say the orcs were just foreigners to make a point, then let’s rock.
But if you wanna say “yeah sometimes it’s present tense sometimes it’s past tense and rambles about Russian history sometimes but probs better than Tolkien” then we cannot be friends.

This is my take. I was so ready for it, but they really lost the weave.
There’s something juicy there but boy did they lose it fast and hard.
