@The Broken Sword I always wondered 🤔 something about the Uruk hai they seem to be very loyal to their master/maker saruman as seen in the lord of the rings the fellowship of the ring and the two towers movie. More loyal to saruman then saruon, which makes me wonder if someone who is good created them and they pledge themselves to their master/maker who is good. Basically my question is could the Uruk hai have been created to fight for good if that's their maker/masters will or not?
@The Broken Sword I think the reason why their are more orcs than Uruk hai might be because orcs might be easier to master produce than Uruk hai. Kinda like in star wars how it's easier/cheaper for the Separatists movement / CIS to mast produce B1 battle droids than it is to master produce stronger more deadly droids like the BX commando droids.
@@chuckrothans7535 I think in theory yes they could have been created to fight for good, however, everything about their creation and being is evil, so no force of good would be willing to take that process in the first place! So I guess your answer is both yes and no 🤣
@@TheBrokenSword okay, but what if hypothetically saruman was a double agent or he never chose to side with saruon but felt that they needed to fight fire with fire and created the Uruk hai to fight against saruon and his allies.
May be slightly out of context, but to answer some questions to my responses: The Uruk-hai are first bred by Sauron, not Saruman, and Uruk-hai are not Half-orcs. Uruk-hai means Orc-folk (uruk=orc, hai=folk) (PE 17, Words, Phrases and Passages in LotR): "B Urukhai Uruk-hai 'Orc-folk'" and: "'The Black Speech was not intentionally modeled on any style, but was meant to be self-consistent, very different from Elvish, yet organized and expressive, as would be expected of a device of Sauron before his complete corruption. It was evidently an agglutinative language, and the verbal system must have included pronominal suffixes expressing the object, as well as those indicating the subject: -ul is a pl. objective, translated 'them', and -ûk an element meaning 'the whole, all' (thrakatalûk I 267 is a misprint for -ulûk, as correctly written in the flame letters). The stem burz 'dark' is also found in the later Lugbûrz = Barad-dûr; in the archaic ring-inscription burzumishi is evidently made up of this stem + a particularizing suffix or 'article' um, and an enclitic 'preposition' ishi 'in, inside'. The debased form of the B. S. which survived in the Third Age only in the Dark Tower is seen in a few names (as Uruk-hai 'Orc-folk') and the fragment of vituperation uttered by one of Grishnakh's companions, emissaries from Sauron. I have tried to play fair linguistically, and it is meant to have a meaning and not to be a mere casual group of nasty noises, though an accurate translation would even nowadays only be printable in the higher and artistically more advanced forms of literature. According to my taste such things are best left to Orcs, ancient and modern." Uruks is an Anglicization of Uruk-hai (UT, Index): "Uruks Anglicized form of Uruk-hai of the Black Speech; a race of Orcs of great size and strength." Late in the Third Age the term Uruk-hai refers to the great soldier-orcs that came from both Mordor and Isengard (LotR App. F): "Orcs and the Black Speech. Orc is the form of the name that other races had for this foul people as it was in the language of Rohan. In Sindarin it was orch. Related, no doubt, was the word uruk of the Black Speech, though this was applied as a rule only to the great soldier-orcs that at this time issued from Mordor and Isengard. The lesser kinds were called, especially by the Uruk-hai, snaga ‘slave’." Uruks first appeared in the 2400's of the Third Age (App. A): "In the last years of Denethor I the race of uruks, black orcs of great strength, first appeared out of Mordor, and in 2475 they swept across Ithilien and took Osgiliath." Saruman only started using them late in the Third Age (App. A): "In 2989 Théodwyn married Éomund of Eastfold, the chief Marshal of the Mark. Her son Éomer was born in 2991, and her daughter Éowyn in 2995. At that time Sauron had arisen again, and the shadow of Mordor reached out to Rohan. Orcs began to raid in the eastern regions and slay or steal horses. Others also came down from the Misty Mountains, many being great uruks in the service of Saruman, though it was long before that was suspected." Uruk-hai were involved in the revolt at Cirith Ungol (LotR, Land of Shadow): "‘Whose blame’s that?’ said the soldier. ‘Not mine. That comes from Higher Up. First they say it’s a great Elf in bright armour, then it’s a sort of small dwarf-man, then it must be a pack of rebel Uruk-hai; or maybe it’s all the lot together.’" The Uruk-hai (as great soldier-orcs) are not exclusive to Saruman, nor bred (at least initially) by him. They are Sauron's doing. They also are not the 'half-orcs' which Saruman did breed (Morgoth's Ring, Myths Transformed, Orcs): "Finally, there is a cogent point, though horrible to relate. It became clear in time that undoubted Men could under the domination of Morgoth or his agents in a few generations be reduced almost to the Orc-level of mind and habits; and then they would or could be made to mate with Orcs, producing new breeds, often larger and more cunning. There is no doubt that long afterwards, in the Third Age, Saruman rediscovered this, or learned of it in lore, and in his lust for mastery committed this, his wickedest deed: the interbreeding of Orcs and Men, producing both Men-orcs large and cunning, and Orc-men treacherous and vile." Further the "half-orcs" are distinguished from the Uruks in both LotR (Flotsam and Jetsam): "He emptied Isengard. I saw the enemy go: endless lines of marching Orcs; and troops of them mounted on great wolves. And there were battalions of Men, too. Many of them carried torches, and in the flare I could see their faces. Most of them were ordinary men, rather tall and dark-haired, and grim but not particularly evil-looking. But there were some others that were horrible: man-high, but with goblin-faces, sallow, leering, squint-eyed. Do you know, they reminded me at once of that Southerner at Bree; only he was not so obviously orc-like as most of these were.’ ‘I thought of him too,’ said Aragorn. ‘We had many of these half-orcs to deal with at Helm’s Deep. It seems plain now that that Southerner was a spy of Saruman’s..." ...and in UT (Battles of the Fords of Isen): "This was barely done when disaster came. Saruman’s eastern force came down with unexpected speed; it was much smaller than the western force, but more dangerous. In its van were some Dunlending horsemen and a great pack of the dreadful Orcish wolfriders, feared by horses. Behind them came two battalions of the fierce Uruks, heavily armed but trained to move at great speed for many miles. The horsemen and wolfriders fell on the horse-herds and picketed horses and slew or dispersed them." ...and later: "As soon as the enemy had gained possession of the eastern end of the Fords there appeared a company of men or orcmen (evidently dispatched for the purpose), ferocious, mail-clad, and armed with axes."
I like how Tolkien wrote the orcs, implying the existance of these diffrent tribes of orcs, and showing a bit of them, but not explainng a lot about them. It ads good mystery and room for speculation about middle earth.
I suspect the Uruks were used in the most vicious fighting in any battles, which would cause more of them to be killed in battle. They may also not have reproduced as quickly as the average orc.
I always felt that the sun would remind the orcs' bodies of their elfishness, and it was incompatable with what they had become in some way. They forgot how to elf, and it was oddly rising to the top again in the sun.
In The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy by Peter Jackson, Saruman appeared to believe that the Uruks were his invention. The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf mentions Saruman breeding the Uruks to possess the traits of "Orc and goblin men" without the two races' weakness. However, the film-lore book The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare clears up this discrepancy by explaining that Saruman was in fact only replicating Sauron's method. Sauron's Uruks, seen in The Return of the King, have noticeably rougher features than Saruman's. Saruman's Uruk-hai are shown as being released from a kind of membrane in the mud deep under Isengard (special commentary on the DVD edition explained that they were trying to base the scene on an early description of Tolkien's that Orcs "worm their way out of the ground like maggots").
Shagrat never touched Sting; Sam switched blades when he started to go on into Mordor alone. Even the Mouth said words to the effect of "Dwarf mail, Elvish cloak and sword of the fallen West, a conspiracy surely ". The Mouth would have known the difference between an Elvish blade and an Arnorean long knife on sight.
Can you please do a video talking about the different orc armies of Mordor which include the strongest orcs due to armour, durability, skill etc. Mordor Orcs, Morannon Orcs, Morgal Orcs, Misty Mountain Orcs, Black Uruks. Then maybe combine with Uruk Hai with Isengard. It would be interesting to see which orc armies are the strongest as they are all trained, bred, armoured differently. Another great idea is Men Swordsmen vs Elves Sword capabilities. Then Men Archers vs Elve archers as we know elves already are the better archers but then again Men (Rohirrim) are far superior cavalry and as foot soldiers I’d think are more superior too.
This was one of the best placed cleverly incooperated adds i've ever seen! 😄👌🏽 And big thank you for the community Post! As Videos werent being announcent as notifications for me anymore as usual either. Stay awesome guys!😊
Just an idea if you put a timer at the bottom of the ad with time left of that ad then those of us that dont want to watch it can skip. See how people like Johnny Harris do it.
Tolkien himself used "Uruk" and "Uruk-hai" interchangeably. Saruman's Uruk-hai seemed to think they were better, if not than other uruks, than regular orcs, and claimed to have been fed man-flesh by Saruman. They seemed to report directly to Sarumen, whereas Sauron's uruks seemed report to greater beings like Nazgul and the Mouth of Sauron, etc.,who were much more powerful henchmen Sauron. Saruman doesn't seem to have been able to collect similarly powerful henchmen, although that would have been the case if he'd successfully recruited Gandalf. Despite having a high opinion of themselves, the Uruk-hi on Sauron were no match for the Rohirim. Boromir was half-dead with orc arrows and still killing Uruk-hai. So while they appeared to be the most powerful orcs, they appear still to be inferior warriors to humans.
According to one theory, the Uruk-hai race is formed by combining orc and human pairs. This creation is connected with the spiritual incarnations of divine beings, who are essentially Maia, such as Sauron and Saruman. In addition to the difficulty of creating orc creation, Uruk-hai creation probably requires more use of force (spiritual incarnation) and therefore the Uruk-hai race is less common in the hordes of evil forces than the orc race.
What-if video idea for you to do: What if Gandalf never fell at the Bridge of Khazad-dum and continued with the Fellowship to Lothlorien and on forward?
Also would like to add that the normal Orc probably can breed a lot faster than the specialized Uruk. After all, look at the thousands upon thousands of Misty Mountain breed of Orc.
I always thought there were more orcs purely because they were easier to breed? Although saying that Sauron did have like 3000 years so maybe he just got a good bulk buy deal on orcs
So the real question should be, where does the 45-70 come into play in Middle Earth. I think it’s when you’re dealing with the Fighting Uruk-hai , I mean, I’m not worried too much about the regular Orc’s. I know I can easily smoke an Orc with a 5.56 but when you’re dealing with a Fighting Uruk-hai , they’re bigger and more aggressive for the 5.56. So yeah the 45-70 is a great choice to take them down. It definitely has a place. Trust me I’m a Rangers of Ithilien
45-60 is slightly better. Less recoil, weighs a bit less so more can be carried, and BP so reloads might be possible; assuming primers. Still, the Remington-Lee would be a good choice, any version. (The Mausers would be my second choice.)
I remember reading the battle of moria that when they saw a uruk-hia they said they were very rare and far between I don't remember the exact quote but like for every 100 orcs you might find 1 or 10 uruks at the most
I definitely think they were superior physically and mentally, I would assume the reason for them being far fewer in number could be due to the extra time and energy their creator would take making them vs normal orcs. And possibly due to this process they cannot procreate like normal orcs.
I would be extremally concerned if I could not watch Lord Of The Rings since I have both a digital and physical Extended Editions of the trilogy and also have the theatrical cuts on DVD.
@@TheBrokenSword Digital editions are well known and you should own some version of your favorite movies since if you don't then you have to rely on streaming
Saruman's uruks were portrayed too menacing in the films. They were just slightly improved orks. Uruk means ork. And like all orks they were short with crooked legs and long arms like an orangutan. They were all shorter than humans, not over 2m tall like in the films.
the uruk-hai and the larger Uruks of Mordor were superior to common orcs. BUT They were obviously comparatively rare, I assume they were harder to breed or train or whatever so the majority of Orcs were the 'lesser' variety. So they can be superior, but even then, not decisive due to lower numbers. the other option is they are superior to common Orcs, but inferior to their enemies, just not to the degree that the regular Orcs were. Couple that with their evident rarity and they could shift the balance of things, but only if used correctly by their superiors.
I feel you're basically spot on then! Definitely in terms of the book! It is just the movies that powered them a bit more making them more powerful than say a Rohan warrior.
@@TheBrokenSword in the movies, while in Rivendell and before the Council, Gandalf tells Elrond Saruman was crossing "orcs with goblin-men". Since in the books "gonlin-men" is already a crossbreeding of orcs and Men, applying this to the movies, Sarumans was crossbreeding orcs with an already hybrid creature, trying to improve it.
Is Uruk-hai the name of their race? Because from what i remeber only the ones from Isenguard are written with the hai in the end, while those from Mordor are only called Uruks. Regarding the question of the day, Uruks do seem supperior to normal orcs in every way. Treebeard guesses that Saruman's Uruk-hai are the result of some twisted union between man and orc, which appears to be something new and unknown. Thus the process of creating orcs must be diffrent from creating Uruk-hai, mabey its even harder to make Uruk-hai. If the two procedures do not interfere with each other, then Sauron would have no reason to not make orcs as well as Uruks, he does rely on supperior numbers a lot.
The way I seem to understand it is the Uruk-Hai are the ones bred by Saruman in Isengard, and the Black Uruks are the ones bred by Sauron in Mordor. So Uruks to be me is just the general name for all!
I got a feeling they were the result of a eugenics system similar to one of Sparta along with selective breeding. Basically any scrawny orc babies were eliminated or tossed in to the general rabble.
@@Tar-Elenion Really? I read it as half-orcs and man-orcs were used as synonymous for Uruk-Hai, what were the half orcs then? It was some time ago that i read the two towers so I don't remember all of it.
As a race and fighting force, they might hold the top spot, but on an individual level, I think the Dark Númenorians might be better, just not nearly as plentiful.
I genuinely like the Uruk Hai in the films more than the books as they truly feel far more dangerous as foes than the often bumbling and cowardly portrayal of the Uruks in the novels. The film version of the Uruk Hai definitely feel..."perfected"
Happy 4th of July to all those that celebrate it!!

May be slightly out of context, but to answer some questions to my responses:
The Uruk-hai are first bred by Sauron, not Saruman, and Uruk-hai are not Half-orcs.
Uruk-hai means Orc-folk (uruk=orc, hai=folk) (PE 17, Words, Phrases and Passages in LotR):
"B Urukhai
Uruk-hai 'Orc-folk'"
and:
"'The Black Speech was not intentionally modeled on any style, but was meant to be self-consistent, very different from Elvish, yet organized and expressive, as would be expected of a device of Sauron before his complete corruption. It was evidently an agglutinative language, and the verbal system must have included pronominal suffixes expressing the object, as well as those indicating the subject: -ul is a pl. objective, translated 'them', and -ûk an element meaning 'the whole, all' (thrakatalûk I 267 is a misprint for -ulûk, as correctly written in the flame letters). The stem burz 'dark' is also found in the later Lugbûrz = Barad-dûr; in the archaic ring-inscription burzumishi is evidently made up of this stem + a particularizing suffix or 'article' um, and an enclitic 'preposition' ishi 'in, inside'. The debased form of the B. S. which survived in the Third Age only in the Dark Tower is seen in a few names (as Uruk-hai 'Orc-folk') and the fragment of vituperation uttered by one of Grishnakh's companions, emissaries from Sauron. I have tried to play fair linguistically, and it is meant to have a meaning and not to be a mere casual group of nasty noises, though an accurate translation would even nowadays only be printable in the higher and artistically more advanced forms of literature.

So, the uruks weren't only better at all things fighting, but they were more orcanized? Eh? No one? All right, I'll leave
They are at the top of the pile for Orcs, but still orcs and lower in the pile for enemies.
Uruks are basically a special breed of Orc, probably with a minimal amount of their elf heritage within them.
Also would like to add that the normal Orc probably can breed a lot faster than the specialized Uruk. After all, look at the thousands upon thousands of Misty Mountain breed of Orc.

I definitely think they were superior physically and mentally, I would assume the reason for them being far fewer in number could be due to the extra time and energy their creator would take making them vs normal orcs. And possibly due to this process they cannot procreate like normal orcs.
Imagine if the uruk hai were even half as numerous as orcs. Nobody would have stopped them.
That would be one hell of an army!
I would be extremally concerned if I could not watch Lord Of The Rings since I have both a digital and physical Extended Editions of the trilogy and also have the theatrical cuts on DVD.
Same 😂 but the newer fan may struggle to even know what a dvd is these days 😂😂
@@TheBrokenSword Digital editions are well known and you should own some version of your favorite movies since if you don't then you have to rely on streaming
Saruman's uruks were portrayed too menacing in the films. They were just slightly improved orks. Uruk means ork. And like all orks they were short with crooked legs and long arms like an orangutan. They were all shorter than humans, not over 2m tall like in the films.
the uruk-hai and the larger Uruks of Mordor were superior to common orcs. BUT They were obviously comparatively rare, I assume they were harder to breed or train or whatever so the majority of Orcs were the 'lesser' variety.
So they can be superior, but even then, not decisive due to lower numbers. the other option is they are superior to common Orcs, but inferior to their enemies, just not to the degree that the regular Orcs were. Couple that with their evident rarity and they could shift the balance of things, but only if used correctly by their superiors.
I feel you're basically spot on then! Definitely in terms of the book! It is just the movies that powered them a bit more making them more powerful than say a Rohan warrior.
Lol nice nord ad
I am so happy that the Orcish races are finally getting some attention 🙌 🤗 😍 ❤❤❤💗💚💚🤪💚💚

If I remember correctly, the movies mention that Saruman bred orcs and goblins to create the Uruk-Hai. Is this correct? Is it cannon or movie only?
I believe the movies mention they are bred between orcs and men or elves, the orcs and goblins are realistically the same thing :)
Movie only. In 'canon' both Sauron and Saruman had Uruk-hai. Saruman also bred half-orcs (which are different).
@@TheBrokenSword in the movies, while in Rivendell and before the Council, Gandalf tells Elrond Saruman was crossing "orcs with goblin-men". Since in the books "gonlin-men" is already a crossbreeding of orcs and Men, applying this to the movies, Sarumans was crossbreeding orcs with an already hybrid creature, trying to improve it.
Orc liquor sounds like a derogatory term
Is Uruk-hai the name of their race? Because from what i remeber only the ones from Isenguard are written with the hai in the end, while those from Mordor are only called Uruks. Regarding the question of the day, Uruks do seem supperior to normal orcs in every way. Treebeard guesses that Saruman's Uruk-hai are the result of some twisted union between man and orc, which appears to be something new and unknown. Thus the process of creating orcs must be diffrent from creating Uruk-hai, mabey its even harder to make Uruk-hai. If the two procedures do not interfere with each other, then Sauron would have no reason to not make orcs as well as Uruks, he does rely on supperior numbers a lot.
The way I seem to understand it is the Uruk-Hai are the ones bred by Saruman in Isengard, and the Black Uruks are the ones bred by Sauron in Mordor. So Uruks to be me is just the general name for all!
@@TheBrokenSword "Uruks" is an anglicized form of the Black Speech "Uruk-hai", which refers to the great soldier-orcs of both Mordor and Isengard.
Treebeard speculates, but the half-orcs are a separate thing from the Uruk-hai.
I got a feeling they were the result of a eugenics system similar to one of Sparta along with selective breeding. Basically any scrawny orc babies were eliminated or tossed in to the general rabble.
@@Tar-Elenion Really? I read it as half-orcs and man-orcs were used as synonymous for Uruk-Hai, what were the half orcs then? It was some time ago that i read the two towers so I don't remember all of it.
As a race and fighting force, they might hold the top spot, but on an individual level, I think the Dark Númenorians might be better, just not nearly as plentiful.
That seems to be the case with many, the better they are, the fewer you get!
There are few channels I will watch promotions for and this is one
Legend!
I genuinely like the Uruk Hai in the films more than the books as they truly feel far more dangerous as foes than the often bumbling and cowardly portrayal of the Uruks in the novels.
The film version of the Uruk Hai definitely feel..."perfected"
I agree! Peter Jackson's team did an incredible job with them!
What is with the music, dude?
I will find the name when I’m in the office and let you know! Is there a particular part of the video music you wanted?
