Orcs are generally depicted as being overwhelming in number, but individually kind of worthless. Wave after wave is sent into the meat grinder until the meat grinder breaks.
Kinda perfect for Russia’s approach to invading Ukraine.
I think it’s also worth noting that Tolkien’s orcs were individually cowardly and undisciplined, who could only be motivated into a horde by being more afraid of the consequences of refusal.
The only zerg I’m familiar with are StarCraft’s. Zerglings match what you’re describing, but the zerg as a whole vary a ton.
And zerglings are pretty much the orcs of the StarCraft universe, so kinda interchangeable if we’re comparing to large groups irl idiots like the J6 crowd, or invaders like Putin’s cannon fodder

How very USSR of them.
I think you’re thinking of zergs. Orcs are just ugly, evil brutes. Zergs are endless and individually worthless.
