There are three known continents in their world: Westeros, Essos, and Southoryos.

I agree that both are in a same category of bad and deserve to go head to head for the "worst" title.

ack, so it did. I just always remembered it as '62.

Well, okay, but Tolkien also repeatedly said he didn't like the apartheid policies of the South African Afrikaner government.

It would be interesting to see Highlander 2 and Last Airbender go head to head in the final round. I think you're a bit too hard on Superman 4 (its not as if Superman 3 was that great before it, the franchise was already on a downward slide).

Actually, while the origin of Orcs never solidified, the most popular one (in the printed Silmarillion and thus the movies) is that they're corrupted Elves.

...specifically what racist imagery?

"I'm disappointed in you Adrian. I"m VERY disappointed! Reassembling myself was the FIRST trick I learned. It didn't kill Osterman...did you really think it would kill ME?"
