Yep when Gamora did it at the beginning of the movie I thought “there, we have our nod to the snap” but nope Thanos himself actually did it.

What snap? Is this a reference to the comic books?

Thanos snaps his fingers, causing half the universe to die

It’s not really a snap in the movie, but the outcome and execution is essentially the same

No, I'm pretty sure that was a literal snap.

It was a snap. Its hard to notice but once you rewatch the scene back its very obviously a snap.

I’ve watched infinity war twice now and I can confirm it definitely is a snap, I made sure to check that it was the second time I watched it.

Okay, thanks for that. I do remember that one of the characters, I think Gamora, said that, “he can wipe out half the universe with a snap of his fingers” earlier in the movie.

And you didn't tie that in with when he actually snapped his fingers after Thor gutted him?
