Answer 1

"Montezuma thought the arrival of the Spanish could mean the return of their god Quetzalcoatl; Atahuallpa thought the Spanish would honor the Incan chief."

This best explains the differing perspectives: the Aztec interpreted the Spaniards in a religious/prophetic way, while the Inca expected them to acknowledge Incan authority.
