But that isn't what the red lanterns actually are, yes they are violent but there violent for a reason, usually some form of injustice in the universe. The original oath in my opinion portrays the Red Lanterns as nothing but beasts of destruction who cause violence and mayhem just because that's what they do. But that's more of me being a writer/critic problem, my main problem and the reason I wrote my own version of the oath to be with is that I don't believe that the original oath properly represents the red lanterns. I feel that the words used have too many syllables and possess too much complexity that it results in feeling for lack of a better word stuttery. So let's talk about my first problem, I feel that various words used in the oath break the rhythm of said oath. Now let me explain my problem with the red lantern corps oath isn't that it doesn't adhere to the in-the-blank day, in the blank night, or the structure of the other oaths but problems with its word choice in relation to the rhythm and how it represents the corps overall. Anyways I love the red lanterns but there is one problem I have with them and that's their oath. Also, Razer is one of my favorite characters and red is in fact my favorite color so that's a bit of a bonus. So the red lanterns are one of my favorite lantern corps, both their emblem and the emotional entity it represents are perfect their characters are compelling, and the philosophical discussions surrounding rage, anger, and both its many ups and downs in how it affects our world.
