I’d expect Galadriel to be very much in the “The only good orc is a dead orc” camp. That’s based purely on vibes, I don’t recall anything about it in the LOTR books and I never could finish The Silmarillion.
All elves are in that camp, and within the bounds of LotR I think they’re right? It’s definitely a setting with objective, and cosmic, Good and Evil.
But also do Orcs have souls? If they do they should have the potential for good inside them. If not, how are they more than animals? Even JRR wasn’t sure.

I like this one.
Robert’s great
That was awesome, thank you.
Yes, because each time an elf looks upon an orc, they see a mangled, corrupted version of themselves, with no hope of reversing the corruption.
like the french looking at england
Frodo: Don’t blame, me. You guys made it
The elves of Gondolin predated Galadriel iirc. So, Galadriel’s ancestors made the sword.
Galadriel had nothing to do with Gondolin but she was definitely in Beleriand at the time. She was around to experience the light of the trees and make her way to Middle Earth with the Noldor.
Ah ok thanks, I thought Gondolin was 1st age and Galadriel was 2nd, my bad
No shes third generation from the first elves that woke up. She’s one of the oldest elves in middle-earth.
I think only her husband is older? Though it’s been a while since I read Silmarillion.

Uhhh, the sword is from a different generation.
Could you stop by my office? Bring your cardkey.
This is probably funny in a way I don’t understand, because I miss the reference, and will most likely regret posting this because everyone will learn me now
His sword glows when orcs are nearby.
I hope you still didn’t regret the message.
