And similar to what Wolverine said to Magneto in the first X-Men movie, if Thanos really had the power of His convictions he would have faded away with the rest of them. Nope, he's just one sick puppy with more issues than a magazine rack.

I believe that the producers said that Thanos did not protect himself from being in the random 50%.
Interesting, but with the soul stone and mind stone in play, the selection process did not have to random.
Besides if it was truly random, the distribution of extermination wouldn't be so even.
I'm thinking that it's the extermination of 50 percent of everyone within every hundred square feet, on a planet? Or paired off everyone in the universe standing next to each other, and got rid of one of them?

He could have made the choice. Given Given that he was taking it upon himself to make that choice for the rest of the universe, choosing to join them would have would have been the right thing to do.
Which means that he's culling already depleted populations again, since he was the last known survivor of his people. Is that justifiable too? So the couple hundred surviving Asgardians that already got culled in Thanos' attack on their refugee ship got culled again in the Snap. The surviving people on Gamora's world got cut in half again. The surviving Xandarians (if any; it was never made clear if any survived their resistance to Thanos' destruction of their world) got culled again, which means —turn away, I'm about to express feelings about fictional characters— Rhomann Dey and his family that they made us care about at the end of GotG are probably dead offscreen permanently since it was pre-Snap and pre-reset button:

Well, the point of gaining all the stones was so he could make sure it was done exactly as he planned it in his mind.
The Reality Stone is what truly killed people, the Power Stone was to amplify it's power to that level, the Space Stone was to make sure it would reach all areas of the Universe, the Mind Stone was to give Thanos the "Mental Computing Power" for such a thing, the Soul Stone was to make sure it was only sentient people he wiped out and not just life in general like animals and plants, and the Time Stone was to make sure time would be slowed down while he "powered up" and no one could stop him if they were attacking.
That certainly isn’t clear from the film.
Thanos says that when he's done, he'll sit back and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. He doesn't say he has only a 50% chance of having the opportunity to do that.
Would you rather he say "Well, if I survive this I'll sit back and watch the sun"?
The general audience is exposed to entertainment news around the clock--there's no social media platform, no news site or cable station that skips over constant repots about films (especially big budget film series such as the MCU), actor, producer, director and studio news/quotes--even if the general audience is not looking for it. There's no way they do not know about a Spider-Man sequel, plans for his appearances elsewhere, and the same applies to other main characters who "died" in A3. Its become a matter of just guessing when they will return (for movies around the corner), as the media universe already informed audiences about the when, where and how of actors and characters.
So yeah, you're ungrateful that the MCU is nice enough to tell us about future movies ahead of time.
Something like that, yeah. It would only take a few extra words (though I probably wouldn’t write it exactly as you did). If he was taking his chances with everybody else, that would have been the perfect opportunity to say so.
Strange looked at 14 million possible time lines, and he picked to play out towards a future where Thanos didn't selfwhack?
What makes you think deer aren't sapient?
Headlights.
It was the only one where they could "win". Why would you head in the direction of one of the many where they failed?
Well, I guess Rudolph and Bambi are pretty thoughtful.

Once you get the gauntlet, you can reverse the damage done by the previous owner.
[Sarcasm]Similar to how Trump is saving us from the legacy of the Obama Administration.[/Sarcasm]
So? You can't take 10 deaths seriously out of 50 thousand trillion deaths?
Still sounds like a win to me.

Seemed to me to be the most realistic reaction we saw, I actually really approved of how he was portrayed there. He was a scared kid found out and turning to a surrogate father figure as the reality sank in of how far out of his depth he had found himself and how powerless he was. How many people wouldn't find that situation terrifying?
I imagine very few people actually face the sudden realisation of of imminent and unavoidable death with dignity
