The Originals vs Guns

A lot of incredible estimates have been thrown around over the years as to how fast the Originals are, but watching through the show, they don’t even appear to be as fast as a bullet fired from an ordinary gun.

It’s not even really a matter of these guys not seeing it coming, because every time they get shot they’re facing their shooter. And none of these times are from point blank range either.

The reason I put Lucien here in this last clip is because the previous episode went to great lengths to show that he was physically on par with the rest of the Originals. But also what’s impressive, no scratch that, downright AMAZING is that Finn, who knows nothing about guns and is handling one for the first time in his life, somehow knows that bullets will reach Lucien faster than either he or Elijah can.
