"To be fair, I think Gimli is pointing out a problem with the original work: How did all those orcs get enough food to live? Iโm having trouble picturing an orcish farm, much less orcs producing all the accoutrements needed to run one. Both the book and the movie depict orcs with their own bread. Can you imagine an orcish miller? An orcish milkmaid? An orcish baker, complete with apron and poofy chefโs hat? Imagine a couple of orcs side-by-side in front of a farm American Gothic style.
Kind of daft, innit?" ~Shamus
