Ind Ex Machina

Deus Ex Machina is the common term for a trope in which something not previously established (originally, a god) suddenly appears to resolve the plot. It's an old enough term that it's used here in the wiki. It's also surprisingly punnable, and that's what's going on here.

Tropes following this pattern:
 * All Just a Dream
 * Ass Pull


 * Dead Ex Machina


 * Deus Ax Machina


 * Deus Ex Machina
 * Deus Ex Nukina
 * Deus Ex Scuse Me
 * Deus Exit Machina
 * Deus Sex Machina
 * Diabolus Ex Machina
 * Diabolus Ex Nihilo
 * Parent Ex Machina
 * Sidekick Ex Machina
