Wait a second, did Thanos specifically target sentient life or anything that qualifies as living? Are plants and animals affected? Does this mean men had half of their sperm vanish? What about unborn babies? (Dude, the snap causing babies to vanish from pregnant mothers would have been extremely dark)

What about unborn babies? (Dude, the snap causing babies to vanish from pregnant mothers would have been extremely dark) Well, in the comics, Thanos specifically wiped out "half the sentient population of the universe" according to the Silver Surfer.
I don't know that such a distinction was made in the film.

Yeah, but the question is, how would Ego have been affected by the Snap? Whether Ego's subsistence offended Thanos' sensibilities or not wouldn't really matter if Thanos' plans would keep Ego from spreading. If the Snap meant Ego lost half his worlds, Ego would NOT be willing to accept that. It also depends on whether Ego's worlds are new entities or parts of the same entity (Ego himself). If it's the latter, it's a coin flip on whether he survives (and that would probably be troubling enough come to think of it). I was also thinking the Snap happens before Ego's expansion in this hypothetical since it involves Thanos avoiding him. So half the universe dies > Ego expands would not be more troubling than the base case above. Still, Ego would probably be the easiest to get around. Assuming Thanos can choose who to spare, he could make just make a deal to keep Ego alive and let him expand afterwards. Hell assuming what I did that Thanos wouldn't have a problem with Ego, he might not even need the Snap- just let Ego do his thing. Or hell, help him get the energy he needs to pull it off. Which lends itself to another question- if Ego heard about Quill holding the power stone, why didn't he try to get it himself? The power stone is well, power. Couldn't that have given him the strength to expand? A lot easier to use raw power as opposed to convincing your wayward son to join you. That is a question, yeah. but having a 50/50 chance to be wiped out would likely stir anyone to action.
But Thanos seemed determined to let random chance determine who lived and who died. Even if he made such a deal with Ego, I doubt he could be trusted to keep it.
As for why he didn't go after the power Stone itself? *shrug* No one else did either. I suppose the Nova Corps was still considered a formidable force, even if we didn't really get to see that on-screen.

Also I wonder: After Thanos snaps his fingers and has the vision of child Gamora asking him what it cost- is this the conscience of an otherwise seemingly complete monster at work? Or is it Lady Death literally reaching out? In case no one else answered you here: That scene actually takes place in the Soul World, inside the Soul Stone. And that child version of Gamora he talks to there is the real Gamora. Its possible the other heroes killed by "the snap" are also there (and everyone else too I would assume). sauce: For funnsies:

I'm not sure the people of Sokovia would agree on the second one.

That brings up a rather fun thought. Thanos: You should've aimed for the he- *suddenly an arrow comes out of nowhere and skewers Thanos through the head killing him instantly* Hawkeye: And you shouldn't have gloated. *all the Avengers are looking at him speechless* Hawkeye: What? You really think I wouldn't have been paying attention I just had to lose the FBI and then travel here.

I still think the reason Peter Parker took so much longer to go is that he was wearing a suit that is based on nanotechnology. The nanites were trying to rebuild themselves and Peter, but they couldn't fight off the infinity gauntlet.

Something I've been wondering, how much info does Nick Fury know about Thanos' plan? He seemed more annoyed by it then I was excepting. Like he didn't care that he was 'dying'.

Since when does Spider-Man accelerated healing? It's part of his super-power package. It's nowhere near Wolverine or Deadpool levels, but he can heal in a few hours or days what would take a muggle weeks to recover

Or Peter took so long to vanish and "didn't feel well", because the Snap caused his Spider side to vanish before the human side did.
Even using "comic book logic", I don't imagine having a huge chunk of your genetic code simply erased would be healthy, especially not for any mutates that have become genetic chimeras like Spiderman.
