![]() ![]() ![]() Naturally this will be quite spoiler heavy but I'd appreciate if people could warn at the start of responses. Has anyone read or watched something where a Deus Ex Machina moment actually added to the story, or at the very least didn't diminish it? Maybe I'm wrong and by nature it is just inherently bad or, as touched on, examples of good ones aren't actually Deus Ex Machina. Having said that, I was trying to think of examples of good ones and I couldn't really think of any. It's one of those terms that's now in the mainstream and people know they are supposed to dislike it whilst not completely understanding what it is. There's also the fact that the term is often misapplied to things that aren't Deus Ex Machina. Anything written well enough can be good. Can a Deus Ex Machina actually be good if written well enough? I don't really want to get into discussing Stephen King as the other thread has that covered but it did get me thinking. A lot of people agreed with me and quite a few posted how they didn't like the Deus Ex Machina nature of some of his endings. I recently responded to another thread about Stephen King's The Stand and how I didn't like the ending and generally don't think King is good at endings.
