If I lived in that universe and survived the snap, I'd be more upset over half the human population disappearing, tbh. I'm human. I'll be offended for my species before I'm offended for another. Still, Thanos had no business playing god like that.

I wouldn't be offended at the loss of the animals (or the plants, they were hit too). I'd be absolutely horrified and then worried about how the population was going to feed itself -- depending on which food animals and plants were wiped out against which were simply decimated. And think of the horror if the predator species of some of the insects were reduced too low to do their job properly for a little while. Or, if all the honey bees went bye-bye. We have them to thank for the variety of food on our tables.

In this situation, with half of everything being hit (which is what I was assuming until you said some were merely decimated), then that would halve each species so the ratio would remain the same. The entire situation, everything being halved like that in the snap of a finger, would be so huge that it would be beyond horror, is one of those unfathomable amounts that just can't quite register. We're less phased by millions dying, because we can't really envision millions, than we are by a couple of people dying because we can imagine a couple of people clearly. Millions - they're just a blob.
So, the honeybees would be halved, but the plants would be halved as well. Query - if everything on earth is halved, are all of the surviving entities in places where they can take advantage of predation or harvesting? Are the bees near the plants? Are the wolves near the sheep? If the bees were all in Australia but the plants were all in China, we'd have a problem.

According to Thanos, this was to be random. But I don't think it was considering that the Mad Titan's after plan is to "rest and enjoy the sunrise on a grateful Universe"...

It's also 'convenient' that his most potent enemies are all gone.

Except that they would not have been his enemies (at least most of them) had Thanos not started that $#!t fight.
As for that "grateful Universe", those civilizations who knew of Thanos, and probably suspected his hand in this, are probably not grateful at all.

He's deluding himself into thinking that everyone shared his vision. People do that. He's wrong, and if he stopped to think he'd realize that, but he doesn't think, not deeply.

He needs a "Sleeping Beauty" type shirt. Instead of flipping between pink and blue, it should flip between "I'm Stupid" and "I reject your reality and substitute my own" (thank you, Adam, from the original Myth busters!).

Lol! Do they make shirts in his size? *trying to imagine the delivery box from Amazon*
What really rankles is that he's appointed himself judge, jury, executioner, and God. He has no right to kill off people. I hope they address this in the next movie.

Considering how rocky he looked at the end of the movie, cosmic justice would be that he only saw that one sunrise. But, he's also one who would not begrudge his own death... as long as it came after his accomplished goal.

Then, for cosmic justice, he has to see his goal unraveled.

And then have the embodiment of Death look at him and say "Too bad. So sad." and then walk away laughing at him.

Lol! Yeah. Now that would be an interesting scene.
