What We Do In The Shadows Old Vampire
Let's talk What We Do in the Shadows. Specifically, let's talk about the old vampire.
I'm talking, of course, about Nandor the Relentless. And I have a confession: He's kind of my favorite.
Unpopular Opinion: Nandor is the Best
Okay, hear me out. Everyone loves Laszlo Cravensworth, right? He's got the accent, the bats, the…eccentricities. He's hilarious.
Must Read
And Nadja? Queen. Absolute chaos in the best way. A perfect character.
Even Colin Robinson, the energy vampire, is strangely compelling. A beige menace we all secretly know.
But Nandor? He’s often overlooked. A big, goofy, ancient warrior who just wants to please. And that's what makes him great.
He's a Big Softie (For a Vampire)
Underneath that imposing exterior, he’s a marshmallow. Remember all his familiars? Guillermo, of course, but also the others he tried to turn immortal who all ran away or died within days.
He just wants a friend. A loyal companion. Someone to appreciate his…leadership.
He's also remarkably… naive. He falls for every scam, every weird internet fad. It's endlessly amusing.
He tries so hard to be cool. It's adorable.
The Underrated Humor of Nandor's Delusions
His grand pronouncements? Always delivered with utter conviction, even when he’s clearly clueless. The guy conquered empires! He thinks he knows everything!
His accent is amazing. It's thick, dramatic, and completely over the top. The way he pronounces Guillermo? Iconic.
And his obsession with his homeland? It's hilarious. He romanticizes it to an extreme.
Guillermo: The Heart of Nandor's Story
Let’s be real, Nandor's relationship with Guillermo is the heart of the show. It's a centuries-long unrequited… friendship?
Guillermo puts up with SO much. He cleans, he protects, he arranges all the blood orgy stuff.
And Nandor? He genuinely appreciates Guillermo. Deep down, anyway. Even if he doesn't show it in the most conventional way.
Their dynamic is hilarious and strangely touching. It's a masterclass in comedic timing.
In Conclusion: Give Nandor Some Love!
So, next time you're watching What We Do in the Shadows, pay close attention to Nandor. He really is funny!
He might not be as overtly chaotic as Nadja or as suave as Laszlo. But he has a goofy charm all his own.
And, honestly, who doesn’t love a big, powerful vampire who’s secretly just a big, insecure softie?
Give Nandor the Relentless some love. He deserves it.
