What We Do In The Shadows Cast Colin

The Most Interesting... Vampire? Unpacking Colin Robinson

Okay, let's talk about Colin. Not just any Colin, but Colin Robinson from What We Do In The Shadows. He's a vampire, but not the sparkly, brooding type. He’s… different.

He’s an energy vampire! Forget the bloodsucking, Colin feeds on your boredom. Think long, pointless stories about municipal zoning or reciting every ingredient in a can of soup. He drains your will to live, one tedious detail at a time.

How Does He Do It?

That's the beauty of it, isn't it? Colin's power isn't some grand, mystical spell. It's the sheer, unrelenting force of awkward conversation. Imagine being stuck at a party and the only person talking to you is droning on about the history of paperclips. That's Colin Robinson's specialty.

His victims often look dazed and glassy-eyed. They’re desperate to escape, but politely trapped. He’s a master of the conversational black hole.

Beyond the Bore: Colin's Secret Life

But here's the thing: beneath the beige cardigans and monotone voice, there's more to Colin than meets the eye. He’s not purely evil, just… misunderstood. Or maybe just incredibly boring.

Sometimes, you catch glimpses of genuine emotion. He enjoys small victories, like finally understanding a meme. It is also the feeling of draining an entire office of their energy.

And let's not forget his surprising (and short-lived) musical ambitions! His performance was as unsettling as you might imagine. He poured himself into his acoustic rendition of a mundane subject.

The Colin Transformation

Things got really interesting when Colin *died*… or rather, pupated. From the decaying corpse rose a bizarre, childlike version of himself. Baby Colin was both hilarious and unsettling.

It was a chance to see him learn and grow (literally!). Though with a dark undertone, his second life explored the character’s evolution, with comedic twists.

Why We Love (and Loathe) Him

So, why is Colin Robinson such a compelling character? Maybe it's because we've all encountered a "Colin" in our lives. That person at work who monopolizes meetings or the relative who tells the same stories every holiday.

He is a mirror to our own anxieties about social interactions and the fear of being boring. Also the anxiety of being bored!

Ultimately, Colin Robinson is a reminder that even the most seemingly dull person can surprise you. And that sometimes, the most powerful weapon is a well-placed, utterly pointless anecdote.
