Well, depending on your motivation for slaying orcs... in which case two wrongs *still* don't make a right. The cognitive dissonance makes for some strange humor in the comic strip, and I've talked to people for whom it's entirely off-putting, and they won't read the strip because of it.

It's a problem in any adapted property, I think, other than one that's not currently being added to (and in this franchise-happy world, how many of *those* are there?)
