I've been following the show oh. Laboured to finish season 1 out of my love for the original franchise and watched the first 3 episodes of season 2 before I decided to stop deceiving myself☹️
Same situation with me. I believe I've tried my best

Abeg Abeg
Them no even get reproductive organs WYM. Before this show have you heard of any female orc? Even in the books?

This is what Tolkien has to say about the gender of Orcs in a letter to an acquaintance.

Orcs wasn't given personality or anything other than foot soldiers for a dark lord. So not much was known of them other than the disgust everyone feels for them as a tool for destruction.

If they do it and make her evil then they've killed the franchise
1bn down the drain
The ring corrupts it's users and she has one she's carrying with pride. She might soon realize it's effect and later reject it before it consumes her sha. Remember, the Nazguls are powerful men, rulers that wears the ring and was consumed by it.

Orcs are actually originally Elves. Its Morgoth who tortured I think about 13 of them who strayed too far from the rest of the tribe in middle earth.
He tortured them and mutilated them to the monstrous beings they are now.

And yep, Orcs actually do procreate just like Humans and Elves. That explains their huge numbers all through the ages.
It's just not talked about much to minimise the disgust.

Orcs made from mud and slime was originally Tolkien's plan before rewriting it with the Morgoth storyline. It's infused in the movie scene of Saruman making Orcs or Uruk-Hai from "mud and slime". More or less Peter Jackson's reference to Tolkien's original ideas.
I don't get youπŸ‘€ is Orcs having feelings for their wives and children canon in Lord of the Rings - where in my statement did I say Orcs don't procreate? And what does procreating have to do with Tolkien's vision of Orcs being evil - Tolkien in an interview I don't totally remember actually said 'he created the Orcs as a definitive definition of evil with no moral compass whatsoever' he didn't make them as a gray character.
The writers broke canon - Orcs are evil not because of their willingness to protect their wives and children but because they're.
It just shows they're not being creative but are trying to add their 'modern spin' to a finished story when it isn't needed

Now i get the whole point.
And it may seems as though, sauron is coming for revenge too.
One of the things that maskes this show mysterious is we are waiting to see how sauron will gain control.
Because he is just one man now with no armies, it seems practically impossible but then again, his name is sauron and he is a dark lord.
Perhaps we will get to see other dangerous creatures in the show later.

Sauron is damn nigh powerful because he's a Maiar and immortal and has gained significant knowledge from his powerful master Melkor.
If he wants to kill Adar on the spot and take control of the Orcs, he could. The Orcs are terrified of him for a reason.

The only reason you see Sauron looking less powerful or weak is cos he's the master of disguise and persuasion. He only does that to quickly further his goals β€” to rule the entire Middle Earth. And to do that, you can't rule an entire continent by armies and force alone. You need something greater β€” influence.
That's the sole reason of his crafting of the RINGS to influence (or control) all beings of Middle Earth (Elves, Dwarves, Men).

This is perhaps the biggest lesson he learnt from Morgoth's defeat. Brute force and violence won't get you much for a while.

Looks like you're not following the show at all. Right from season 1, they've been making Tolkien twitch and turn in his grave. Destroying canon has been their motive all along
Your dislike for this show knows no bound. You cannot dictate what the orcs are, the life their living from LOTR. This happened way back before LOTR. It's expected to be more complex and revealing.
From the story orcs were once men, some of them elves produced as a result of dark magic. Some of the early orcs might be able to have families and maybe that's what Sauron wanted to take from them.
It's a movie bro, it's meant to be enjoyed and if you're not enjoying a particular movie delete it and select another from the million available movies and allow others to enjoy the movie you hate to love.

I only gave a counter statement to "orcs are made from goo and slime" saying they were originally created by Elves mutated to Orcs by Morgoth.

Yep, the show has done a shitty job trying to give Orcs a human spin which isn't working. I too find that fighting for land and family narrative moronic.
The showrunnners like you said are just trying to fill a blank space that Tolkien never talked much about.

On Orcs procreation, I prolly mixed up your comment with that of someone else since I was replying multiple persons at once.

Yep the Nazguls were once the nine men who was given the rings. But the Dwarves didn't suffer the same fate as men.

Seems humans are the last in the stratum of hierarchy. That's why Celebrimbor never wanted to create rings for men but for Elves and Dwarves alone since they have better restraint.

Wetin this man dey talk? Galadriel dark and wicked from where? Galadriel that is righteous and almost perfect among all the elves?
The same Galadriel that turned dark when Frodo presented the ring to her? Even Samwise hold the ring and was not moved a bit.
She almost failed the test when Frodo present the ring to her but she passed sha.
Her pureness must have come from her following Elrond advice.

That was the One Ring. Sauron's Ring.
Not this one. They're different. She still possessed her Elven ring.

The plausible explanation would be since those characters Frodo got no ambition or desire to dominate or rule people, the ring have no effect on them. Even Frodo self was tempted by that very same ring many times.
Person wey go still turn Smeagol with time.

For Galadriel she's an immortal and powerful being. It just showed what she'll finally become if she succumbed to the ring. Hers would take time, probably centuries.

You're definitely right! I really really really dislike the show and I wish it wasn't a show I give two fcks about but the franchise is something I grew up on and the first movies I watched in a cinema when it was re-released and what made me love movies at that time - I read the books so many times I could recite a whole chapter at that time. It holds a lot of sentimental value to me and seeing fckin capitalists massacre the life out of Tolkien's work makes my heart boil - just take a look at the show-runners of a billion dollar show - they don't even have a decent working resume - they're not die hard fans of the show and their first words about it can be translated to 'we would make this show new'??, Wtf does that mean - there're so many details in LOTR lore that hasn't been explored at all - what else are they trying to add??
This Hollywood guys don't learn there lessons at all - stick to canon! If canon is broken - it will never work in the long run and it'll definitely have as many plotholes you can imagine

How is the time plot understandable?
The Terminator Zero series take place in three timelines

1) Malcolm's timeline
2) Eiko timeline
3) Present timeline

Both of them travel back from there time to a different timeline which is the Third Timeline (current time in the anime)

In Malcolm's timeline: Eiko gave birth to him and she lose a hand to a terminator.
In Eiko timeline: she didn't gave birth to him and also she didn't lose a hand to a terminator.
Before Eiko time travel, that old woman, the Prophet tell her that every time someone goes back in time, a new timeline is created.........now the...
Third Timeline this timeline was created by Malcolm and Misaki's arrival in 1983 this is a time loop according to Loki series Eiko travel to this time Malcolm and Eiko timeline is gone, can't be saved.
