10 Most Shocking Moments From Love, Death, & Robots

10. The Pool Vacuum – Zima Blue

Zima is a world-renowned (cyborg) artist whose final work is much anticipated and soon to be revealed. We learn of his past and his humble beginnings as a simple machine. Throughout his life, he had more and more modifications that eventually turned him into the robot he is today.

Massive morals with Zima Blue hints are his typical work but his final assembly is much more personal. He reveals a pool that he then dives into as he leisurely breaks apart till, he’s back to his original form: a pool vacuum.

The meaning is subjective, but it’s likely Zima was exhausted of all the responsibilities and wanted to go back to a life with a single purpose where he was needed and left to not be critiqued - to clean the pool. Nostalgia for a time of less obligation isn’t a foreign fantasy.
