Because damn it I’m a nerd.
From The Matrix: Revolutions (interpretations)
It is interesting to note that while the Machine we see is called “Deus Ex Machina,” there is a reversal of roles happening. In Ancient Greek plays, the Deus Ex Machina would often be a God (often portrayed as a sun, which explains DEM’s appearance in Revolutions) which descends from above the stage. However, in Revolutions, Deus Ex Machina ascends to where Neo is standing. So, from Deus Ex Machina’s perspective, and thus that of the Machines, Neo is the God descending to them. Neo is the God which intervenes in the Machines’ apparently insoluble crisis and is their Deus ex machina.
