I've felt this way about the 'humanoid' races in DnD that speak Common and do all the people things, but are okay to murder because they're supposed to be the evil races.
They're always coded to be either black or roma or mongolian or whichever otherized group in western culture.
I love that line because it shows that an orc knows what a menu is. I'd be shocked if menues were even a thing. I want to edit the books to include all the wacky bits from the movies.
One of the recurring villains is a half-orc pirate named 'Il Barbaro' who shows up with increasingly large hats. His crew slicks their hair back with whale oil.
I'm going to take the artistic liberty to read that as "The Second Barbaro" and it's inspiring me to name a future villain or NPC in that fashion while leaving the origin of it a secret or plot hook.
I'd be into Gotham being Silent Hill for Bruce Wayne. It could be his Twilight Zone punishment for going full Batman in just like, a normal place without supervillains. That or Gotham is a totally normal place and the comic depiction is how Batman sees the world cause he's a fucking weirdo. You could wrangle some kind of good story out of that.
i played a game of dnd once online and didnt realize i was playing with literal nazis until there was an extremely heavyhanded metaphor towards the goblins being jews and that killing their babies was very good because theyre innately evil

In my homebrew 5e campaign I made my orcs Italian, and half-orcs italian-american.
looks like pizzas back on the menu boys

This fact has bothered me for years.
I'm imagining orcs with curly mustaches wearing chef's hats and tossing pizzas

To make it easier for the players to kill them right

Barbaro, the Unbroken Line, will be featured in the magic super prison my players will be visiting tonight
This is literally the most hexbear.net thing I have ever read

only took 2 or 3 sessions to figure it out though
