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.
