so idk shit about lotr, what was up with the orcs coming out fully grown in wet sacs in the movies?
That was Peter Jackson's idea, not Tolkien. Jackson took a lot of liberties.
Also the wet sacs are Uruk-hai made by Saruman and not necessary all orcs breed like that.
gotcha, thanks
I was scared shitless when I heard the director of "The Frighteners" had been put in charge of the new LOTR movie.
Read the books already. Movie-only fans are the worst. They miss the best part of the story, the Scouring of the Shire, when the hobbits come back to find that a bitter Saruman (he lived) has come to The Shire and chopped down all the trees. Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin then set about putting things to rights without the help of Rangers, elves, wizards or anyone else.
i'm not even a movie fan, someone just linked a clip here recently that coincidentally had the wet orc sacs in it
It's a change that Peter Jackson made from the books, but one that makes sense as an adaptational choice. In the book, the Uruk-hai were created through, essentially, an industrial eugenics program to be frontline soldiers. Having them be spawned out of sacs in an underground factory captures how cold and inhuman an act their creation was in a way that is easier to express in a visual medium.
i can respect it
