Why does everyone in Arrow pronounce Ra's al Ghul differently?

>>88305663
Every time I see it written, I mentally think "RAH-Z" but then I think of the character in TAS and I remember they always called him "RAY-SH" I wish I could make myself skip the first part, but I never could.

>>88305663
Id like to think its a reference to the the common misconception but more likely CW writers are idiots and cant keep it straight. Its canonically pronounced "Raysh" by the way.

This.

>>88305663
I read somewhere that they did it intentionally. Everyone not initiated into the league pronounces it incorrectly.

>>88305663
There is no correct pronunciation.

>>88305740
In The Dark Knight trilogy and CW Arrowverse its Rahs, in the Arkham series and Batman TAS its pronounced Raysh. Really there is no correct way to pronounce it since its a fictional name.

This guy gets a bad rap I kind of liked his calm collected take on the character. Even when he was ordering crazy shit to be done it always came off like it was the most normal thing in the world to him.

Except when the character creator explicitly states that it is pronounced Raysh because of Hebrew.

He did a pretty good job as Ra's al-Ghul.
He just had to deal with being in a crappy show and getting beaten at the end by Oliver for no real reason after he handed GA his ass to him in their first fight with no real effort at all.

Its Rahs
It has always been Rahs

It's "Ray shall cool" not "Ross all ghoul"

fucking get it right boys

It's not a fictional name at all. It's the Arabic name for the constellation of Perseus. The "Demon's Head" is Medusa's, that he holds.
And the Arabs pronounce it Raysh, BTW.

Well, it IS fictional. Only not original to the character, is what I meant.

Everything is "fictional". My name is just as much an idea as Ra's is. Doesn't mean that pronunciations aren't distinguished from each other.

>>88307561
I've heard Arabs say it's closest to RAZ, as in rascal.

>>88305663
This is what happens when you don't have a good character director. All the actors look at the script and come up with their own pronounciations and it's the job of the guy in charge to give a fuck.

A good director wouldn't allow this sort of inconsistancy without reason.

Why would you not allow inconsistencies in the pronunciation of the name, when the same inconsistencies exist in real life?
