A few things to keep in mind:
1. Obsidian vs. metal armor, armor wins consistently.
2. With the Aztecs, capturing your enemy for sacrifice was more important than killing him. How else would the sun rise ?
3. Cortez had quite a few tribes as allies.
4. Cortez was treated with godlike status, he was welcomed with open arms. The Aztecs predicted his coming would be their demise.
5. The Aztecs were tiny compared to the Spaniards.
