I think there was not a crucial, but unpleasant misunderstanding the The Snap section. It says " Thanos excitedly told her that he had finally completed his mission.", the dialogue:

''"Daughter." "Did you do it?" "Yes." "What did it cost?" "...Everything."''

I believe excitedly is a misguiding word in this context. He did not look excited at all, his face was relaxed and he was moving as if he was a heavy doll. There was no excitement in him, but a look of finally embracing his regrets. The "excitedly" creates a false picutre of Thanos - he never trully wanted to commit the universal genocide, he simply believed it was a way to save everyone from the fate his own planet faced once. Even though he is relieved and smiles accordingly in the ending scene, he obviously understands that personally he only suffered for the sake of the universe, making him a tragic "anti-hero". Excitedly would imply he took pleasure in either fulfilling his goal, or in erasing half the universe. And the blank look on his face in the film itself does not really fit into "excitedly". Astonishedly, emptily, but not excitedly. Please, take a look at it. That scene was my faviourite from the whole film, as it was a direct look at how tragic Thanos is, and I would really hate for someone to mistakenly fathom him as a warmongering madman he was in the comics.
