There didn't need to be an evil plot, but the problem is that it's hard to believe metaScrooge is so evil that he'll let 4003 people die because he can't be arsed to push a button, but at the same time he can't bring himself to hit a boy. The script can't decide whether pseudoScrooge is a curmudgeon like Original!Scrooge, or a mass murderer.
Also, his objection to letting the cruise ship land seemed to be to do with surplus population, but presumably the people on board were holidaymakers and not refugees.
