LOTR Orcs

Are a pure evil race in LOTR (The Lord of the Rings) They are basically mutated elves. They seem to obey the Dark Lord without question.

But it begs the question, could orcs find redemption after the Dark Lord's death? Maybe not in the Lord of the Rings universe, but something like it.

It could be interesting in a story where once mindless savages break free from the dark force controlling them. Could also be interesting to see the orcs resisting the mind control of a new Dark Lord.

Honestly this sounds like a story I might read... but IDK the names of any of the orcs.

It's been a long while since I've seen the movies but I'm trying to remember how they acted in regards to each other. They're not like Fallout Supermutents, they're fully intelligent and are thus capable of behaving themselves.

They just gotta learn Friendship! \o/
Uh. O..Okay. I'll just...go over there and hug them?
You'll be fine!
Oh no
She'll be fine
She 'gon die

Its interesting how OG orcs serving Sauron are much more evil and disobidient then the Uruk-hai serving Saruman.
