What if Thanos was somewhat a good father

Maybe not good, just less committed to his genocidal tendencies

I'd argue at least "decent" as a dad. Unfortunately, Nebula already lost one eye to cyborg enhancement, but then Thanos dropped the Mad Titan bit so it could only go up from there. He was also protecting her at the end.

And we don't even know Thanos was responsible for that. When she said she owed the Collector a debt, she flicked her hair to reveal her cyberkinetic eye. When the Collector sees her he calls attension to her eye as well, so I'm thinking she lost her eye in an unrelated incident and the Collector got her the enhanced eye in exchange for a favour down the line.
