Isn’t the “orc” an uruk-hai and the “goblin” the actual orc? I like the movies, but I’m no expert. Perhaps it’s on purpose and part of the joke?
This is also doing hobbits dirty.
uruk-hai are born from dead elves, twisted by suramans magic, goblins and orcs are seperate species. basically they are reanimated soldiers(akin to frankesteins monster), or Kull warriors of sg1.
Uh, two towers made it pretty clear the Uruk-hai were cross bred- orcs with humans. This made them larger, more disciplined and more tolerant of sunlight.
Silmarillion says that the original orcs came from elves who were corrupted by Morgoth, way back when. (Morgoth is to Sauron as the Valar are to Gandalf. Sauron, Gandalf and Saurumon were all Maia;)

Correct. The goblins we see in LotR are in Moria.
Also the goblin king’s lair in The Hobbit.
