The Doctor never tells Kid that he's wrong, he never tries to empathise, he just goes straight to torturing and that's not in his character imo. Especially considering the rest of the episode tries to build empathy with the Hellions.

Then they make Belinda completely okay with it. One line of "omg you scared me" and she forgave the doctor? That's not the Belinda they introduced- especially considering she knew about the Hellions and their world being destroyed.
It feels like something RTD wanted to have tacked on for the sake of the finale but the writer had already finished the story. It'll probably (hopefully) come into play next week and that'll make it at least worthwhile in the long run... But it doesn't change the fact that...
In an episode meant to support the people of Palestine, they framed their part of the metaphor as irredeemably evil to the point where it 'broke' the doctor
It's literally a direct metaphor for Moroccanoil (an Israeli company) funding the EBU so that they turn a blind eye towards the genocide Israel are causing. If you can't see that then idk what to say 😭
Again I think you're castigating it for not being the story YOU would have told instead of actually trying to understand the story it was actually trying to tell.
