Exclusive First Look at the Orcs From Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - IGN

this looks fucking awesome.

Lindsey Weber, executive producer on the series:

“We spent a lot of time talking about what it would mean to be an Orc in the Second Age,” said Weber. “It felt appropriate that their look would be different, part of a wilder, more raw, Second Age, Middle-earth, closer to where the First Age ends. As we meet them, they're not yet organized into armies, they're a little more scattered and they've been scavenging. So it's just a different time in their total story.”

Pretty good looking Orcs.

Please leave Star Wars out of this.

Damn. Just realized that LOTR will be to millennials what Star Wars was to boomers.

The Orcs look fucking awesome, definitely look like fallen Elves.

Waiting for Twitter to go on a crusade claiming Orcs are racist though.

Millennials love Avatar. Every time I talk at work about how bad the plot of that movie is I can see the Millennials charging at me in rage.

Finally something positive about the show.

Amazon going for the feels with this latest Rings of Power promo

That whole thing was total cringe but I gotta admit the end lifted it up pretty damn well.

Seems odd they got the scratch to market it that way instead of just, I dunno, putting together clips of that BILLION DOLLAR SHOW, but I guess at this level they have cash to burn.

Is this thing getting a theatrical release though? Did they do that for Wheel of Time?
