I already mentioned Word Of God in regards to that. In the actual movie, however, it leans more towards the latter idea of Thanos being motivated because of spite. His love for Gamora is still a mitigating factor that keeps him from being PE, but his overall motivation for wanting to recreate the universe instead of halving it is bad.
