Black is just a colour...lol come on. I think 'blackest' just sounds that much more stronger than 'darkest'. With blackest, you can associate the shade of black, the shade of absolute darkness. With darkest (at least imo) it's more of, it's hardly visible but you can still see.
I think the real reason I think blackest sounds better is that it flows better as a sort of alliteration...'brightest' 'blackest' they're not side by side but that's what I get out of it.
I read the description and all. I just wanted to say, in the oath black is not used to refer to people. Black is a fucking color, do you want to remove it from the chromatic scale to avoid racism? WTF? That is incredibly racist and in the worst way.
Question: How many White Lanterns were black/African-American.
Answer: None.
I don't think that this is an example of overt or blatant racism, but it's certainly questionable and problematic. It's most likely a symptom of the under-representation of African-American superheros in comic books compared to whites. This, the silent racism, is rather pernicious.
Honestly though these things don't really look worth it to shell out $300. Personally I would find it more satisfying to create my own, that's my opinion and there are many like it but this one is mine. xD
Uhhh...the word "blackest" is never, ever replaced with "darkest". They just based a whole Goddamn event around the term. That just brought the potential awesomeness of this scene down, way down. Fucking political correctness...In Brightest Day, In blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, beware my power...GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT!
@WildWest1122 As much as I hate to admit it, Hal Jordan himself changes the word to "darkest" in his later years. I think its Green Lantern Vol.3 #43. He tells Kalmaku that he is becoming politically correct. Even though DC writers screwed that one up, most of us will stick to "blackest night."
@knowa83 I guess it didn't last long, huh? That's only a few issues before Hal went nuts. Was it written by Marz, too?
All kidding aside, there's something more aesthetically pleasing about the way "blackest night" rolls off the tongue instead of "darkest night". At least they stuck to the original for the movie.
@WildWest1122 I'm also glad they stuck to the original oath. And no it wasn't Marz. I think it was Gerard Jones and Steve Mattsson that wrote that one. Regardless, that whole political correctness BS is annoying wherever you see it, let alone a freaking comic book filled with fictional characters.
Who could confuse Blackest Night as being racist???? I'm African/African American (my father is African, my mother is African American) and I have been a fan of Hal Jordan since I was eight years old. I never thought of the oath as being racist. That is just....ridiculous. Nobody needs to be THAT politically correct.
Unfortunately in our modern time "political correctnes" is just going awful wrong. Heck, I heard Speedy Gonzales was once banned form TV, because WB thought it was offensive to mexicans. But the irony, the mexicans were more offended about him being cancelled, because they liked Speedy
