Weve all seen a deus ex machina, it is interesting to see a machina ex deus

deus ex machina: a personified inanimate object comes to the rescue of an absent character. (e.g. “oh shit the machine gun just broke and i have no other ammo.”)

machina ex deus: a deity (god) comes to the rescue of a character who is either in the process of self-destructing or doomed to be destroyed in the future. (e.g. “god came to your rescue. now you’re going to get off this bridge.”)
