Why the Goblin King was so terrifying and scary in Babes in Toyland(1997)?

In "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" episode,Pandora's Lunch Box, Do you consider the part to be probably the most threatening,cruelest, and vile Mandy has ever been to Grim in the entire show.(along with a frightening close up of her face,the shadows darkened on it,with flames in the background,her voice becoming a complete echoing reverb when making her death threat at Grim, and

Grey DeLisle did a fantastic performance making Mandy sound so threatening and terrifying here in her death threat towards Grim here if she doesn't help her stop Pandora from unleashing chaos.)

Ways on how Ball of Revenge can be fixed and written better? since I felt this episode had potential,but was wasted and it felt like a complete mess due to the amount of torture and pain towards Courage due to the dodgeball game,Eustace's character derailment by amping up his mistreatment towards Courage and jerkishness to full infinity here and admitting his hatred for him,which is just so extremely harsh and hurtful towards Courage,even counting the past times he’s saved his life before(I know there are a couple of episode where Eustace was the main antagonist,but this is just taking things way too far) ,and the poor villian choices here,and since some of them weren't after Courage or ones that Eustace didn't know. Give me some ideas and Ways on how Ball of Revenge can be fixed and written better as a episode with better villain choices,have Courage round up some allies to help him fight against his enemies,and instead of Eustace being the main villian,have his mom,Ma Bagge be the villian instead and have her manipulate Eustace into doing it instead of doing it on this own account by rounding up the baddies and get rid of Courage,while giving him some kind of redemption arc and not ruin his redeeming traits and damage his character,along with the ghost of Horst Bagge summoned as one of Courage’s Allies and even talk and console with his brother to show that he does love him deep down.

Since I feel Ball of Revenge was a poorly-executed episode due to turning Eustace into a murderous jackass and going against his character in past episodes by attempting to kill Courage in a dodgeball game by hiring some of his past worst enemies to fight against him and most of the villian choices were poor here since some of the villians outside of Katz and Le Quack, weren’t only after Courage,often tried to kill or were part of Eustace,and didn’t know him.

Do you think the episode would work better if Ma Bagge should’ve been the villian of Ball of Revenge instead of her son,Eustace(given how he was abusive to him in his youth and she has the means and the motivation to do such a thing given her business giving her the resources for such a task like a bounty for the one to kill the dog and Muriel.),along with better villian choices,giving Courage some allies to help him fight against his past worst enemies,and have her manipulate Eustace and even betrayed her son and Muriel(along with the ghost of Horst Bagge,as one of Courage’s allies to help with Eustace to prove that he still loves him and contributing with him a bit and standing up against his mom,redeeming him for all the past wrong things he’s done).
