Do you think my opinion about the Disney movie "Jungle Cruise" is accurate (SPOILERT ALERT)?

In this movie, Disney pursued an innovative choice. With the curse of the elder of the Puka Michuna tribe cursing Don Aguirre & Joachim, the only hope for them to regain back any semblance of life was the Tears of the Moon (TotM).

Now, from now on, this is just my opinion, remember, however, throughout the movie, it’s implied they had no soul left and the TotM was their only hope for salvation. Now, here’s the hard part: on the clou of the movie, we know Joachim sacrificed himself to save Lily, and he regains his soul (and a normal life) with the last remaining TotM, but we must focalize ourselves with Aguirre and the other conquistadores.

Now, put yourselves on my shoes: they remain trapped WITHOUT A SOUL without the water of the river to keep them “alive”. Hence no TotM ever. At first, it really shocked me. I mean, we’re talking about a DISNEY movie. It should be suitable for children and it condemned villains to certain HELL.

But then I thought: of course. Disney made a paramount choice. That’s right. Disney is a children’s company. It’s responsible for the creation of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and countless other animated characters. The point? It couldn’t choose death. Children know that hell, however agonizing it can be, is preferable to certain, and absolute, death WITHOUT A SOUL. Disney does the interest of children, and it had to choose between life or death. It chose life. So, TL;DR, is there any hope? Yes, because there’s a sequel. Now, YOUR opinion.
