How do you pronounce "Rahzar?" - Page 2

*pennydreadful* · 01-18-2015, 06:57 PM

There y'go. It's April's fault - she's led us astray.

So it should technically be pronounced "Ray-zar", if we're going by Shredder's pronunciation, yes?

*ProactiveMan* · 01-18-2015, 07:57 PM

This is an interesting topic. I've always said "Ray-zar" but it seems odd that a name spelled Rahzar would be pronounced that way.

Tokka is interesting too. They say "Toe-car" but it looks like it should be "Tock-uh" based on the spelling.

I seem to remember Rah-zar in SotO myself, oddly...

Don't make me rewatch it just to confirm this.

Someone should do a compilation vid on each time someone said "Rahzar" in SoTO!

I would've liked to hear Shredder explain how he picked those dumb names, personally.

*Shark_Blade* · 01-19-2015, 07:46 AM

RAH- ZAR

Easy like a kindergartener's spelling bee. Other than that is just weird. *looks at thread* Where do those even come from... Ray zar? the hell..?

...From the movie itself, where it's spoken out loud in ways that contradict each other. "Easy".

Can't really recall seeing that tmnt 2 is among the bottom of the barrel cringeworthy for me. If that is true, it's so godawful bad it can't even pronounce names correctly lol.

Shredder called "Rah-zar" 51:22. Maybe people need to check their own ears.

Even using google translate's voice says Rahzar

And Nick toon clearly says Rahzar too.

*Netkeeper* · 01-19-2015, 08:55 AM

Seriously?

*Shiro Kame* · 01-19-2015, 09:13 AM

It's usually pronounced "RAH-ZAR".

*BabyTurtles* · 01-19-2015, 10:46 AM

I thought it was RAH-ZAR

like RAWR!!(since he's a dog) then the end of razor.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-19-2015, 11:10 AM

Rah-zar here as well.

*ToTheNines* · 01-19-2015, 11:23 AM

This thread is getting annoying.

Hahaha, nice. I guess the Foot Clan is a branch of Playmates Toys.

Seriously though, I can kinda get Rahzar... but even with Mikey naming him in the Nicktoon I still thought it was a massive stretch. But Tokka is just a big WTF. I guess it sounds cool but what the hell does it mean?

**DarthRaphael** · 01-19-2015, 11:26 AM

Since some of you can't maintain a civil conversation without swearing I did some cleanup.

~~Leo656~~ · 01-19-2015, 11:32 AM

Yeah, no, that's always better than just getting rid of stupid people.

We can do that too. If you find issues just report it.

*Netkeeper* · 01-19-2015, 05:34 PM

Thankful for the cleanup. Those posts were just unnecessary roughness.

*CyberCubed* · 01-19-2015, 05:57 PM

I'm pretty sure the Turtles pronounced it Ray-zar.

I thought the same thing; he just blurts Rahzar out of nowhere, like it's the first thing that popped into his head.

I'd like to think he sat up at night with Tatsu spit-balling ideas.

I instinctively say "Rah-zar" because I first heard it in the Nick show and it was pronounced that way, but I've heard "Ray" as well. The latter sounds cooler, I think, but I'm so used to saying the other one that I don't see myself straying from that.
