\\\'\\\'\\\"Pedro races back to beg the men on horseback to let them live. They listen to his plea... and ignore it. And just like that... Pedro is lost.\\\" \\\'\\\'
... and then...
\\\'\\\'\\\"As the horses approach, Abuela sinks to her knees... tears in her eyes... begging the earth to spare the lives of her babies. Praying for salvation. She puts her hand INTO THE SOIL. And suddenly... the ground around her begins to glow... the candle fills with magic... and the villains are blown back... We see Abuela... crying... heartbroken, but saved.\\\"\\\'\\\'
Reviewing the movie itself in conjunction with the script makes it apparent that there\\\'s no question what Pedro did was noble and brave, but ultimately it only resulted in his death. As the horsemen are now charging toward Alma she now shares the same fate. Hence a courageous but SenselessSacrifice from Pedro.
However, the DeusExMachina from the candle saves Alma which makes it a Subverted SenselessSacrifice.
I stand by that trope and suggest that it be left as is.

Stupid Sacrifice - If the character in question sacrificed himself to accomplish a goal, when he could have accomplished the same goal without dying.
