Share definition Flag
Adj. A phrase used in "Everything Wrong With" parodies to signify a character or thing is: Done with exaggeration and skill almost as to show off from it's comparison; "glorified"; more effort put in than really needed. Simply: a suffix meaning, "next level type shit". Yes, an older version of a character can be an ex Machina version of their younger self.
(Noctis Lucis from Final Fantasy XV) "Sasuke ex machina! That's getting a sin!"

Deus Ex Machina 

Share definition Flag
Dates from ancient Greek times, where "deus ex machina" ("god from the machine") in a play referred to the act of lowering a god on stage using a cable device (therefore, a god from a machine) to decide in a dilemma and give fate a nudge, so to say.

These days, deus ex machina has the negative connotation of an utterly improbable, illogical or baseless plot twist that drastically alters the situation, as if the "deus ex machina" came down to give fate that little push.
I liked the movie, but the ending was total crap...they could've come up with a better way to beat the villain than the deus ex machina ending of that guy miraculously coming back to life.

Penis Ex Machina 

Share definition Flag
From Deus Ex Machina, A Penis Ex Machina is when a sex scene is unnecessarily dropped into the plot of an otherwise decent film or story in order to boost the ratings.

Some sex scenes are vital to plot, but this describes only when they blatantly serve no relevant purpose to the story-telling.

Alternatively, it can be used to describe a twist in the plot of a pornographic film in order to bring about the vital sex scene. When a girl in the plot is constantly refusing sex, and then something triggers her suddenly to lust after the male protagonist, this is a Penis Ex Machina.
Person 1: "I heard the movie we're going to has a spicy sex scene!"

Person 2: "Is it part of the plot, or does it come about through Penis Ex Machina?"
