i think an important takeaway from the ending section of lotr: two towers is the conversation sam overhears between the two orc captains that pick up frodo's body, named shagrat and gorbag, and how they want to leave their lives of service to sauron behind and go run away together (with a couple of their "boys" too).
like i think this is important for 1. an actual understandable degree of humanity being present in the orcs in the original lotr text, which is something that's sorely (and often done out of racism) missed in any further use of the orc race/species in the late 20th/early 21st century,
and 2. gay orcs
