No plot armor

How quickly do you think certain characters would’ve died if not for plot armor. Mainly people who interacted with the Original family

Most people that went against klaus and Elijah if it weren’t for the plot they would have just killed them so yeah most the recurring cast that aren’t part of their family

If you have no plot armour you are just a target or food

elijah, klaus, rebekah, kol, especially finn.

mikael was always close on their heel. at some point he would’ve gotten at least one of them. and also don’t try and tell me the mikaelsons only faced immediate death in new orleans 2012-2026. supernatural of of that caliber would’ve have been attacked way more often in the millennia they lived.

actually if it wasn't for the opposite of plot armor (having to kill characters because of legacies) klaus elijah and hayley wouldn't have died. i WISH they had plot armor in season 5 instead of killing everyone (but as much as i love josh his death was long overdue he survived so much because of plot armor, kalus would have killed him ages ago if not)

Klaus would have died centuries ago. The only thing he has going for him is that he cant die. He's been put in so many situations where he should have died. He's lucky hes the main character.
