Anyone else think Savanti Romero and Complete Carnage are uninteresting villains?

I always wondered why these characters never got much exposure in the comics, (at least before Tales Volume 2 started), and why Savanti never appeared in the original cartoon or got a toy...when several other Mirage characters like Fugitoid and Triceratons and Shogun Chote got toys.

Is it just me or do Savanti Romero and Complete Carnage feel like they belong in the cartoons than the comic? Their dialogue is usually corny on purpose, they spout lame supervillain-y lines that feel like they're from 60's or 70's era comics, and their designs are nothing special. They also feel like they're evil just for the sake of being evil.

I just read through a bunch of comics with them lately and can't help but feel how out of place they are in the Mirage universe. I know Savanti was created to be linked with Renet and all, but the character doesn't seem right.

Complete Carnage's design is also a ripoff of Etrigan the Demon.
