>>"Im watching the movie right now."

Canonical information for LotR orcs mostly comes from The Silmarillion, along with select passages of the original LotR (the trio, which is actually one book), and often also The History of Middle Earth (often called a 'series', because it contains twelve books, many of which are split into smaller parts still.) The movies are not considered canonical in ANY universe, because they mess up key details within the original Trilogy (example: Legolas' entire character, Tom Bombadil, etc.), and therefore are not an accurate portrayal of Tolkien's works.

>>"Wait a frick your talking about middle-earth orcs not earth orcs they are two different things"

I am talking about the ORIGIN of present-day Orcs. They were created by Tolkien. Warhammer interpreted however they wanted, but the fact of the matter is that Tolkien CREATED the entire idea of orcs (including 'orc' having the association is does), ergo Tolkien CANNOT have "gotten them wrong", because there was NOTHING TO get wrong.

(Also, I have been researching quite a bit; I have not found a single shred of evidence to back up your supposed 'WWI' claim, though I've scoured the official Wikipedia page and the website--INCLUDING the founding. Because you have yet to provide me with credible source stating this information, it is a moot point that cannot be taken into the debate except to repudiate your point.)
