Sorry but no it isn’t.

We know for a fact that once Cheetara surrendered, they would all be executed. However, what would have happened if she had helped Lion-O continue the fight would be speculation – they may or may not have survived.
The point is surrender would have led to a guaranteed and instant death for all three. The only wise tactical move was to continue the fight as it was the only option with a possible positive outcome, which Lion-O got correct.

Battle strategies are often utilitarian – “the maximum good for the maximum number.” Cheetara would have gotten them all killed. Lion-O decision was the best one he could make in a no-win situation.

Why is this so hard to understand? It’s just logic and math. Do I need to analyse this using Game Theory?

Cheetara’s action was nothing more than a symbolic gesture to show her undying devotion to her new boyfriend.
