Rings of Power Season 3 has introduced Marnûkh, a heroic orc who guides Galadriel to rescue an elven prisoner — and the entertainment press is praising it as a bold new perspective on Middle-earth. But Tolkien’s orcs aren’t a cultural stereotype waiting to be subverted. They are corrupted beings in a specifically Catholic cosmological framework, and making one a hero doesn’t expand the mythology — it guts the entire moral architecture of the story. Amazon hired writers who don’t understand what they’re adapting, and this is the proof.
