Their lack of special-ness has made them become lame villians

In the end of things, their true mystique comes from siding with the Dark One.
They were all about unique brands of evil, in the beginning. Balthameal with his bio creations, Lanfear and her dreams and stalkerlove of Rand. Sammael and his pompousness. All the rest, for the most part, had distinctive styles. Mogheidan, definitely.
They ARE lame, of course- they pledged their souls to a force that wants to turn existence into nothingness. But that's neither here nor there- I'm just saying that narratively, they're not as much fun as they were.
I amuse myself.
Semirhage vs Cadsuane - in Sanderson's words...

Oh, totally- but humans can act in more than one way. "Real" humans can be terrifying, too!

Are you feeling all right? If you are, Cannoli is right, and you're pathetic.

Nobody's even tried to kill them since Ishamael died, until he gave the order again in KoD.

It'd be harder to kill them now as they have come into their own power

So would you enjoy seeing Moridin pulled over Cadsuane's knee and spanked?

You're upset about the spanking and have missed the reason for it.

He was dispatched 'fairly easily' because he was betrayed by Moridin

I think it was an excellent look at just how pathetic most of the Forsaken are and why they sold out
